Hello 50+ Happiness Lab community,
I hope your summer has been full of joy and adventure.
We’re lining up some fun local events for September — think drinks, dancing, and even a repeat of the wine tasting you all loved. Stay tuned for details on those.
In the meantime, I wanted to share something special: on Monday, September 22 (7–8 pm ET), two of us group organizers are hosting a free online information session about a transformational retreat we’re co-leading in Mindo, Ecuador this November.
This retreat blends yoga, breathwork, sacred teachings, plant medicine, and daily nature excursions — all designed as a powerful reset for mind, body, and soul. If you’ve ever been curious about combining travel, spiritual growth, and deep inner work, this session will give you a feel for the experience.
Details and registration can be found below.
We’d love to see you there — or at one of our September gatherings closer to home.
Warmly,
Alison

Ready for more than a vacation? The Chrysalis Journey is a women’s yoga retreat in Ecuador’s cloud forest that blends daily practice with sacred teachings and unforgettable nature adventures. Join us for a free info session to see if this journey is calling you.
What if a retreat could be more than rest — what if it could be a complete reawakening of your body, mind, and spirit?
Each day begins with yoga and breathwork, followed by outings you can only experience in this remarkable corner of the world — like having hummingbirds eat out of your hands or learning how to make chocolate from bean to bar. Evenings close with reflection, community, and teachings that help you integrate the day.
This free one-hour online information session will introduce you to the Chrysalis Journey retreat. Your hosts, Alison Braun and Jacqueline Richards, will share:
- The daily rhythm of yoga, excursions, and sacred teachings
- How Ecuador’s landscapes create space for release, clarity, and renewal
- What to expect from the group experience, accommodations, and meals
- Who this retreat is designed for, and why it may be exactly what you’ve been seeking
You’ll also have a chance to meet the facilitators, hear their vision, and ask your questions.
Date: Monday, September 22
Time: 7:00–8:00 pm EST
Location: Online via Zoom
Come curious, leave inspired.
The Chrysalis Journey is for women who feel a change stirring within them, who long to step out of daily life and into a space where nature, movement, and sacred teachings come together. If you’ve ever imagined a retreat that combines inner work with awe-inspiring adventures in one of the world’s most biodiverse places, this is your invitation to explore it.
