Wanderlust
Connecting with Your
Self-Care Compass
A RETREAT TO COME HOME TO YOURSELF
Create a Life You No Longer Need to Escape From
Â
Most vacations offer temporary relief.
A break from the stress.
A pause from the responsibilities.
A moment to breathe before returning to the same patterns, exhaustion, and overwhelm waiting back at home.
But eventually the trip ends. And real life is still there.
Wanderlust Retreat was created from a deeper question women continually ask after attending retreat experiences:
“How can I feel like THIS in my everyday life?”
Not just rested for a weekend.
Not temporarily inspired.
But truly connected to themselves again.
This retreat is not about escaping your life.
It’s about reconnecting with yourself so fully that you begin creating a life that feels more aligned, nourishing, intentional, and sustainable long after the retreat ends.
Because the goal isn’t to run away from your life.
The goal is to come home to yourself.

INTRODUCING...
WANDERLUSTÂ RETREAT
Imagine This…
Imagine waking up in a luxury lakeside cabin.
Coffee in hand.
Wrapped in a blanket.
Looking out over the stillness of the water.
No rushing.
No constant notifications.
No emotional labor pulling at you from every direction.
Just space to breathe.
To rest.
To reflect.
To reconnect with the woman underneath the roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
Throughout this intimate weekend experience, you’ll be gently guided through practices, workshops, reflection, movement, nervous system healing, and meaningful connection designed to help you reconnect with your own Self-Care Compass™ — your internal roadmap back to balance, alignment, and self-trust.
Somatic Embodiment
Learn embodiment strategies for nervous system regulation
Â
Workshops
The Wanderlust Magazine will be your workbook and journal to record your revelations as we work through a transformational program together.Â
Nature Immersion
This beautiful property accesses a 3-mile lakeside trail. Perfect for an early morning walk.Â
Women's Circles
The ancient practice of sitting in circle with other women. A space to feel seen, heard, validated.Â
Sound Healing
Bask in the magical experience of sound healing with a sound bath led by Kendall Lanning with Padma Light.
YogaÂ
Gentle yoga, infused with somatic practices, inspiring music and themes
Your Body Is the Compass
At the heart of this retreat is the foundational framework of The Self-Care Compass™ — a transformational approach to sustainable self-care and nervous system healing.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll explore the four directions of your internal compass:
🧠True North
Reconnect with your values, desires, truth, and the parts of yourself that have been buried beneath responsibility and survival mode.
🧠True South
Explore the guilt, overwhelm, burnout, people-pleasing, and invisible emotional labor draining your energy.
🧠True East
Cultivate inner practices that regulate your nervous system and help you reconnect with peace, grounding, and emotional restoration.
🧠True West
Reconnect with joy, support, nature, connection, pleasure, creativity, and experiences that replenish your spirit.
At the center of the compass is Harmony — the place where your inner and outer worlds begin to align.
This retreat is designed to help you begin finding your way back there.

This retreat is my gift to you: a sacred space to come home to yourself. I'll be your retreat guide, coach and mentor for this transformative weekend!
Testimonial
"I spent Friday through this morning at an amazing women's wellness retreat 25 minutes outside of Omaha, hosted by my new favorite self care guru, Sondra Dubas. I haven't taken time to myself like this in YEARS and it was exactly what I needed. Yoga, meditation, organic gluten and dairy-free food, cleansing herbal teas, morning runs in nature followed by a sauna, meeting new friends and experiencing a healing sound bath, drum ceremony and group hypnosis for the first time. I you are in need of a nervous system reset, I highly recommend one of Sondra's retreats!!"Â ~Jillian V.

TESTIMONIAL...
"I have had the privilege of attending four of Sondra’s retreats. I came depleted and disconnected – as many of the women did at the start of this magical weekend. Sondra has a way of making women feel truly seen, truly nurtured, and truly belonging. The nurturing is body —with the most exquisite organic meals you could imagine. Soul— with deep conversation and insightful questions. And spirit—with world class sensory offerings like sound bath, fire ceremony, and dream hypnosis. We walk away with true friendship, true healing, and a beautiful work book to continue our journey.
There is no finer Retreat experience in the Midwest."Â Â ~ Maria S.
