You’re walking along the edge of Suttle Lake, the air sharp with pine and woodsmoke. Each step crunches over golden needles, your breath slowing to match the rhythm of the water. You can smell the season shifting, earth, cedar, quiet. The next day, you’ll trade stillness for movement, gripping the steering wheel of your ATV as black volcanic sand sprays behind you. Wind in your hair, laughter rising from somewhere deeper than control. The land opens wide, and for the first time in years, the rush doesn’t come from urgency, it comes from freedom. Later you’ll sit by the fire, cheeks flushed from the ride and heart steady in your chest. And somewhere between the pine and the silence, your nervous system will do something it hasn’t in years, rest while you feel alive.
PICTURE THIS:
The woman everyone leans on at work, at home, even in her friendships.
But lately, that steadiness feels more like strain.
Your body is tired of bracing.
Your mind won’t quiet, even when you finally stop.
And the peace you’ve worked so hard to earn still feels just out of reach.
You’re here because something in you knows regulation isn’t rest.
It’s remembering who you are underneath all the holding.
but nowI know how to help!
You’ve spent years being the steady one
Why You’re Here
This for you if:
You’re a high-capacity woman who’s quietly unraveling under the weight of “holding it
all.”
You’re looking for a party weekend, group therapy, or a yoga-heavy wellness escape.
You’ve done all the things - therapy, supplements, meditation - but your nervous system still feels braced.
You prefer quick fixes or motivational fluff over somatic, trauma-informed work.
You’re ready to rebuild your resilience: physically, mentally, emotionally, and somatically.
It's probably for you if...
You’re unwilling to engage in group safety, consent culture, or body-first boundaries.

The Itinerary
Arrival & the Exhale
Arrive in Sisters and let the pace of the world drop away. Check in, unpack, and settle into your private space before the opening workshop that invites you to release the weight you’ve been carrying and remember what it feels like to simply be. Afterwards gather for a chef-prepared dinner as conversation softens and your body starts to unwind.
Thursday, september 8
Saturday, September 10
Friday, September 9
Wake to still water and morning light moving through the pines. After breakfast, we’ll begin our guided Suttle Lake hike, a gentle 3.5-mile trail where somatic cues and breathwork meet movement and silence. After lunch move into our Functional Resilience Workshop. The afternoon is yours to restore: the mobile sauna will be warm, the lake waiting for a cold plunge or dip. Dinner brings everyone back together for good food, grounded laughter, and rest that finally feels real.
Morning begins early as we set out on the Black Sands ATV Tour, a ride through ancient volcanic terrain where adrenaline meets awareness, with a sack lunch provided. In the late afternoon we will gather for breathwork and nervous-system reclamation, a deep release to prepare for the night ahead. As darkness falls, the group gathers for the Firelight Survival Burn™, a symbolic ritual of letting go and releasing the braced self into flame, standing steady in the quiet that follows.
Adventure & Reclamation
sunday, September 11
Integration & Return
The final morning begins slow and simple with brunch and then the Ritual of Return™, a guided integration time where you’ll map your new nervous-system rhythm and set small, grounded intentions for re-entry. You'll depart feeling clear, connected, and calm, carrying with you not just rest, but a way of being you can return to anytime.
Every activity is optional. Every meal is designed to support you.
This isn’t restriction, it’s regulation. Nourishment you can feel, prepared by our private chef.

mEET YOUR
SUPPORT TEAM
After 20+ years leading in combat zones, disaster relief, corporate boardrooms, and nonprofit leadership, I know what it’s like to hold it all until your body says “no more.” An Army veteran, military spouse, and stepmom, I created True North Resilience after my own collapse from survival-mode leadership. This work is rooted in evidence-based science, lived leadership, and the Six Pillars of Resilience I now teach. As a certified NEUROFIT practitioner, my role isn’t to fix you, it’s to walk beside you as you unbrace, regulate, and rise.

Meet the Team
My background as a Registered Nurse adds another layer of care to the way I holds space, blending knowledge of the body with deep respect for the heart.
Grounded presence. Trauma-informed space-holder. Deep breath in human form.
My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins the moment we pause, breathe, and listen within. I discovered breathwork in a season of deep grief and physical pain, when life felt heavy and uncertain, and it became a way to return home to myself - one breath at a time.
As a certified Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator and SUP Yoga Teacher, my experience guiding groups, retreats, and nature-based practices is where my heart lies. Whether leading a breathwork journey on land, floating on the water, or gathering in circle, my intention is always the same - to meet you exactly where you are and walk beside you as you reconnect with your body’s wisdom.

Hi, I'm Susan Zimmerman
Every menu I create is personalized, whether it’s for weekly family meals, dinner parties, small weddings, or retreat cooking. I focus on fresh, local, and organic ingredients whenever possible, crafting dishes that truly fit each client’s needs.
I also offer in-home catering so you can relax, visit, and enjoy your guests while I handle everything from cooking to clean-up. By the time dessert is served, your kitchen is already sparkling and you’re free to savor the entire experience.

Safety and Privacy Policy
If you need or are seeking counseling or therapy, these retreats are not for that. While these retreats are designed with trauma informed principles and safety at the center, we are not therapists. Participation is always opt-in. No one will be pressured to share, be touched, or perform healing. We respect your story, your privacy, and your boundaries.
Retreat Policies, Safety, and Cancellation
Liability Waiver and Assumption of Risk
All participants are required to sign a general liability waiver prior to attending. This includes acknowledgement of physical, emotional, or environmental risks associated with adventure-based activities, as well as participation in somatic or nervous system practices. By registering, you agree to complete the required waiver and understand that participation is voluntary and undertaken at your own risk.
Cancellations made 30 days before the retreat start date will incur a 33% cancellation fee based on the total registration cost. After that point, no refunds can be issued due to pre-paid expenses and commitments made on your behalf. If you're unable to attend, you may transfer your registration to another approved guest with permission from the retreat hosts. We strongly encourage travel insurance to help protect your plans and investment.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
While we are committed to delivering an extraordinary experience, certain circumstances beyond our control, such as severe weather, natural disasters (including wildfires), public health emergencies, or conditions that make specific activities unsafe or impossible, may require changes to the itinerary, delay, or cancellation.
Guests will be offered the choice to transfer their payment to a future retreat date or receive a partial refund, minus any non-recoverable costs already incurred.
If a specific activity is cancelled but the retreat itself proceeds, no refunds will be issued for individual experience changes. Every effort will be made to book a suitable replacement activity.
