Chris and Tracie Couples Retreat

The Pause with Sonia Azad

CASA ALTERNAVIDA, PUERTO RICO

If you’re existing on autopilot, rushing through your days recycling through patterns of thought and behavior in relationships, it’s time to hit the pause button. Join Sonia Azad to take a deep breath, return to worldly wonders and savor some of life’s most natural and magical moments.

The Pause is an intimate retreat that will take place in tranquil and colorful Puerto Rican surroundings. You’ll have time and space to breathe, to awaken to simple pleasures and to remember how to love and value yourself for who you are– not just what you do.

We’ll engage in excursions and activities that will help to connect you with your deepest desires and realign with your dreams. In addition to daily meditation, movement, journaling and cultural activities, you’ll have plenty of free time to lounge in a hammock, explore beaches and stargaze from our incredible rooftop.

This retreat is for you if:
  • You feel energetically or emotionally exhausted
  • You want to reconnect with your truest self and aspirations
  • You appreciate local art, flavorful food and dynamic terrain 

You’ll leave the retreat with:

  • A renewed zest for life
  • A deeper understanding of how to recognize and attract well-aligned business and personal relationships 
  • Tools to live more fully awake and balanced 
  • A new community of likeminded friends
