THE JOY RETREAT

The Joy Retreat

A Weekend Retreat of Joy, Renewal & Connection
September 19-21 | Baldwin City, KS (just south of Lawrence)


Join us for a special weekend retreat where we celebrate the little joys in life. It will be a weekend of renewal, abundance, healing, and fresh beginnings, making it the perfect backdrop to let go of the past and welcome your next chapter with open arms.


This weekend retreat experience is designed to reconnect you to your intuition, creativity, and joy through playful expression, deep reflection, and grounding in nature. Think adult camp with a little luxury, nourishing meals and creative workshops, all at your own pace.


We’ll be on a beautiful farm with fresh herbs and veggies, goats and chickens, nature trails, and a big barn for indoor activities (complete with a kitchen, bathrooms, and vaulted windows). You’ll have space to explore or simply rest, share when you’re ready, and connect with like-minded souls around the fire.

Retreat Setting

We’ll gather in a stunning, 125-year-old air-conditioned barn that serves as the heart of the retreat. With sweeping views, indoor bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and serene spots for relaxation, it’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and comfort. Outdoors, you’ll find garden-fresh food, friendly farm animals (yes, chickens and goats!), nature trails, and a communal fire pit for stargazing and fireside connection.

Retreat Flow

 A soulful escape to reconnect, realign, and remember who you are.


Step away from the noise and come home to yourself.


This immersive weekend is designed to nourish your whole being, mind, body, and spirit, through a heartful blend of meaningful connection, quiet reflection, creative expression, and healing practices. Expect a gently guided rhythm with plenty of space to rest, reflect, and move at your own pace.

Ample unstructured moments to breathe, rest, write, wander, and simply be.

✨ Meaningful Keepsakes to Take Home
Your hand-poured intention candle, your reflections, your commitments to yourself, and a renewed sense of clarity and joy.

Pamela Martin Host

Intuitive Coach & Healing Facilitator

I’m an intuitive coach, artist, and healing facilitator. My work is about helping people return to their center to remember who they are and gently clear what’s been blocking their joy. 


Whether through one-on-one coaching, group sessions, or immersive retreats and workshops (often rooted in nature and infused with love), I create space for deep healing and profound breakthroughs.


There is a way to move through this world without carrying its heaviness without getting lost in the noise or the divide. You have a purpose here. And no matter your circumstances, you can live with joy, reconnect with your light, and share it with others.


Sometimes we have to step away to remember.

I can’t wait to walk alongside you as you uncover that flickering hope, joy, and intuitive light within and...  ignite it.
