This Is Who I Am Now: Cultivate a Life of Confidence, Self-Care, and Fun

Imagine a weekend where the constant voice of "should" finally goes quiet—where you reconnect with what actually nourishes you, not what you think you're supposed to do. This Is Who I Am Now is a transformative wellness retreat designed for anyone who has gradually disappeared into the roles they play: the parent, the caregiver, the person who always shows up for others. Led by wellness expert and bestselling author Robyn Youkilis, this retreat invites you to examine the narratives that have shaped your identity and to reclaim the joy, boundaries, and personalized self-care practices that feel authentically you.

Held at the serene Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, MA—a sanctuary nestled in the Berkshires—this August weekend offers a rare opportunity to pause, reflect, and rebuild. Through guided journaling, intimate group dialogue, gentle movement, and meditation, you'll move beyond surface-level wellness trends and into genuine, sustainable practices. This is not about adding more to your plate; it's about discovering what actually sustains you and having the courage to prioritize it.

Whether you've lost sight of your own needs or simply feel disconnected from your authentic self, you'll leave this retreat with concrete tools, boundaries you can actually maintain, and a structured self-care plan that energizes rather than depletes.

What to Expect

Over this immersive weekend, you'll participate in a carefully designed blend of introspective and embodied work. Expect guided journaling sessions that help you untangle old narratives, small-group dialogues where your story is witnessed and held, gentle movement practices that reconnect you with your body, and meditation to anchor you in the present moment. Robyn's teaching weaves wisdom with practicality—you're not just exploring why you abandoned yourself; you're building the rituals and boundaries needed to reclaim your life.

The atmosphere is one of permission and curiosity rather than perfectionism. There's space for both deep inner inquiry and playful, joyful movement. By the weekend's end, you'll have a personalized self-care plan in hand and concrete practices designed to sustain your transformation long after you leave Stockbridge.
