Dose of PAUSE®: Santa Fe
Pause . Power . Play
Success Should Not Require Self-Abandonment
This is where the woman who's been holding everything finally gets to be held.
An intimate experience for the women who climbed the ladder, built the business, raised the family, took care of everything, and held it together for everyone - and are quietly aware they've stopped recognizing themselves in the process.
November 2–4, 2026 · Santa Fe, New Mexico · Limited to 12 women
Why Dose Of Pause® Exists
Dose of Pause® was born from a quiet truth Rajinder could no longer ignore.
Despite the success. The achievement. The caregiving. The leadership.
The constant "holding everything together" for everyone else - she had slowly stopped being someone she recognized.
The exhaustion wasn't the problem.
The brain fog wasn't the problem.
The wired-and-tired, always-on, no-space-for-herself life wasn't the actual problem.
The problem was that every space she found for women like her asked her to perform wellness, fix herself, optimize one more thing - or abandon her ambition entirely.
None of it told the truth.
So she built the room she needed. A room where women who are deeply capable, deeply responsible, and quietly depleted can stop performing - and come home to themselves.
I created the experience I needed but couldn't find - and I now hold the space for the woman I used to be.
REFLECTION
A Different Kind Of
Retreat Experience
Most retreats begin when you arrive.
Dose of Pause begins long before Santa Fe because women don't spend years carrying pressure, responsibility, stress, and over-functioning… and suddenly recalibrate in a single weekend.
This is a guided experience designed to help you slow the noise, reconnect to yourself, and create a new internal rhythm you can actually sustain once you return home.
30 Days Before
The process begins before you ever step on the property.
Through intentional prompts, reflections, and preparation, you begin noticing the pace you've normalized, the patterns you've been carrying, and the places you've slowly disconnected from yourself.
The Immersion: Santa Fe
Three days intentionally designed around Pause • Power • Play.
Not over-scheduled wellness.
Not constant programming.
But nervous system exhale. Honest conversations. Beautiful spaces.
Meaningful connection. Restorative experiences. And the spaciousness to hear yourself clearly again.
30 Days After
Because the real work is not escaping your life — it's returning to it differently.
The post-retreat integration experience helps you carry the rhythm, clarity, and reconnection from Santa Fe back into how you live, lead, work, and care for yourself moving forward.
This isn't a temporary reset.
It's a different way of relating to yourself.
What You Can Expect
Space to exhale. Conversations that actually go somewhere. Practices that meet your nervous system where it is.
And the quiet recognition that you were never the only one feeling this way.
Space to Exhale
The kind of silence and stillness you haven't allowed yourself in months. Maybe years. Built so your nervous system can finally land.
Nourishment, Not Protocols
Beautiful, thoughtful food that supports your body - without rules, without performance, without one more thing to optimize.
Conversations That Go Deeper
The kind you rarely get to have. With women who actually know what it's like to carry what you've been carrying.
Restorative Practices That Work
Movement, breath, and modalities designed to regulate a body that's been wired and tired for too long.
Rooms Designed to Hold You
Beautiful Santa Fe settings designed for ease, comfort, and the kind of beauty that softens you the moment you walk in.
Nothing You Have to Manage
For once, you don't have to plan it, organize it, or hold it together. Everything has been thought of so you don't have to.
GUIDED BY
Rajinder Rai, PharmD
Rajinder works with women who lead because she's lived it. From decades in healthcare and women's health to building, leading, and navigating midlife herself, she sees - almost immediately - where you're overriding your body, where your energy is no longer supporting you, and why what used to work doesn't anymore.
Not as theory, but in real time.
This is what makes this experience different: you're not here to learn more. You're here to see yourself clearly faster than you would on your own, and return to a way of leading that is more sustainable, more intuitive, and actually aligned with how you're built to operate.
What she shares isn't something you learn. It's something you experience.
What often takes years to see clearly becomes available much faster when you're in the right environment, with the right guidance
THE RHYTHM
A Rhythm Not A True Pause
Each day is built around how a woman's body and nervous system actually recalibrate - not how a productivity-driven retreat thinks they should.
Day One
Pause
You arrive carrying everything. You won't leave that way.
Day one is built for landing - your body, your breath, your full attention. Welcome dinner. Grounding conversations. And the slow exhale you've been needing for longer than you'd like to admit.
Day TWO
Power
This is the day you remember who you are underneath everything you've been holding.
Curated experiences. Honest conversation. Restorative practices. And the spaciousness to hear yourself clearly again - without apology, without the noise.
Day THREE
Play
You leave clearer. Lighter. More yourself than you've been in years.
A slower morning to integrate. Then you go home - not with another to-do list, but with a new internal rhythm that's yours to keep.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in the $4,444?
Your retreat investment includes your accommodations at Bishop’s Lodge, the retreat sessions and experiences, meals and refreshments provided throughout the retreat, and the materials you’ll receive as part of the experience.
The intention is for you to arrive, settle in, and be fully present, without having to think about all the little details.
Airfare and personal travel expenses are not included.
Is there a deposit, and what’s the payment schedule?
Once your application has been accepted, you’ll receive the details for securing your place, including the deposit amount, payment schedule, and balance due date.
Because the retreat is intentionally limited to just 12 women, your place is reserved once the required payment has been received.
What happens if I can’t attend after I’ve registered?
We understand that life happens, so we want our cancellation policy to be clear from the beginning.
Because this is a small, intimate retreat with accommodations and experiences arranged in advance, cancellations may be subject to our stated refund and cancellation policy.
We encourage you to read the policy carefully before securing your place so you feel completely clear about the commitment.
Where exactly does the retreat take place?
We’ll be gathering at Bishop’s Lodge in Santa Fe, New Mexico — a beautiful setting designed to help you step away from the pace and noise of everyday life.
For these few days, you won’t be rushing from one responsibility to the next. You’ll have space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, have meaningful conversations, and simply breathe.
When should I plan to arrive and depart?
The retreat takes place November 2–4, 2026.
We recommend arriving with enough time on November 2 to settle in before the retreat begins and planning your departure for November 4 after the retreat has officially concluded.
What’s the nearest airport, and is transportation provided?
You can fly into Santa Fe Regional Airport (SAF) or Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ), depending on your travel plans.
We’ll provide clear travel guidance before the retreat so you know exactly what you need to arrange and what you can simply leave with us.
How many women will be there?
Only 12 women.
That’s intentional.
This isn’t designed to feel like a conference, a large group program, or a room full of strangers where you can easily disappear into the crowd.
The smaller group allows the experience to feel personal, spacious, and genuine — with room for real conversations and meaningful connection.
What happens between the application and the retreat itself?
Your experience doesn’t begin when you arrive in Santa Fe.
Once you’re accepted, we’ll begin preparing you for the retreat with a 30-day lead-in experience designed to help you slow down, reflect, and start paying attention to what you actually need.
You’ll know what to expect, have opportunities to prepare, and begin the process of creating space for yourself before you ever arrive.
So when November 2 comes, you’re not simply showing up for a retreat.
You’ve already begun.
What happens after the retreat ends?
The retreat doesn’t end when you leave Santa Fe.
You’ll have a 30-day integration period after the retreat to help you take what you discovered, experienced, and decided during those few days and bring it back into your everyday life.
Because the real value isn’t simply having three beautiful days away.
It’s what changes when you return home.
You’ll have space to reflect, integrate, and begin putting the things that matter to you into practice — so the retreat becomes something you continue to live, not simply something you remember.
I don’t know anyone else attending. Is that okay?
Absolutely.
Most women arrive not knowing the other women in the room — and that’s completely okay.
You don’t need to arrive with a friend, a group, or a plan for who you’re going to connect with.
You simply need to arrive as yourself.
The small group and the way the experience is structured create opportunities to get to know one another naturally, without forcing connection or making you feel like you have to perform.
You won’t be expected to walk in already knowing everyone.
You’re coming to meet yourself — and, along the way, you may meet some remarkable women too.
