CREATE A LIFE YOU DON'T NEED TO ESCAPE!
A RETURN TO SOUL:
A SACRED SPACE FOR WOMEN
JUNE 14th - 17th, 2025
Chicago, Illinois (in the heart of Fulton Market)
If you chase success but still crave deeper meaning…
if you’re winning on the outside and unfulfilled on the inside…
if achievement hasn’t brought the happiness you expected— this is for you.
Do you ever wish you could slow down, be still, and trust that there must
be another way to live?
And yet, even knowing that, you can’t quite seem to find it.
You want a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
You sense that something deeper is calling you.
And you know that creating that life will require different choices.
You need space just for you and your precious soul.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to join us for a powerful,
intimate experience in Chicago,
a city with soul, where I will share from the deepest place of my soul—guiding you to reconnect with your own knowing and soul, too.
Above all, you’ll leave with a deeper trust in yourself and your ability to navigate your journey with clarity, joy, and confidence.
I can't wait to see you in Chicago!
xo,
Dr. Tanya
RETURN TO SOUL:
A SACRED SPACE FOR WOMEN
Return to Soul is an intimate retreat for women who have built successful lives but feel disconnected from themselves.
Over three days, you’ll step away from the noise of achievement and reconnect
with the quiet knowing within you in the soulful city of Chicago.
Through guided conversations, nervous system restoration, and deep inner reflection,
you’ll rediscover what your soul has been asking for.
