The Soul Reset V:
Resilience & Joy
Saturday, November 8, 2025
in the Texas Hill Country
This time finds us digging deep for new life skills to handle a changing world where so much is coming at us fast. Give yourself the gift of returning home to yourself and being uplifted. Join us for a transformative and soul renewing one-day womens retreat on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at Rancho de Vida in Johnson City, Texas. At this, our 5th Soul Reset, you'll glean from other wise women and explore topics that will rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit.
Building and practicing resiliency is hard work, so we need to remember to reconnect with joy. It’s something women, (caretakers and caregivers that we are), forget to make room for in our lives. Doing so brings us back to our light. Soul Resets are a one-day immersive (re)treat an hour southwest of Austin and 60 minutes north of San Antonio.
At the Soul Reset, you will mix it up with other wonderful, inspiring women, connecting more deeply to yourself and leave lighter with much laughter, learnings, music, food, and art in this unique and magical cauldron that is the Texas Hill Country.
2025 Soul Reset V Speakers
We've got an incredible group of women generously sharing their knowledge this year. Join us for a day that promises to reset your heart and soul.
Jen Ostrich
The Enneagram—Waking Up All Parts of Yourself
Jen is a sought-after executive coach, podcast host, and author. As CEO of Grow Collective, she leads the charge creating content and coaching focusing on coaching and developing powerful women leaders. She's been an active certified practitioner and huge believer in the Integrative9 Enneagram having witnessed profound awareness among hundreds of executives and teams. Many of you may know about the power of the Enneagram, a personality map featuring nine types. Its power lies in how it’s able to help you deeply understand yourself so you can learn how to manage your underlying motivation (which was created as a means to protect you as a child) so it’s not managing you. We cannot work to shift something that we cannot see. The Enneagram insights are like getting the keys to unlocking you. It’s a beautiful growth map, showing you where you are today, and what the pathways are to become full integrated into your best, most healthy self. It’s the “why” behind “what” you do. It’s psychologically and spiritually based and has been around for centuries.
In her Soul Reset session Jen will illustrate how the Enneagram is a beautiful map for inner work and development. (You can take an Enneagram test online--see below--and your “type” number shows you what your subconscious motivation is and how that drives how you behave). By learning your core type you can then begin to deeply understand the why behind how you think, feel, and act. This is an invitation to wake up to all parts of you and learn what your own individual growth map looks like to evolve into your highest, most authentic self.
If you haven’t done so before, we encourage you to take an Enneagram test before you come to enhance your takeaways from this session. You can find some online to take for free, but Jen recommends these two links to get your Enneagram type: Integrative9 Test on Grow Collective Site: Offers a personal one for $60 and a professional (more extensive for the workplace) for $120 CP Enneagram: Offers a less extensive one but highly credible for $45.
Vagdevi Meunier, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist, Relationship Coach & Therapist
Finding Your Center Through Love, Renewing Your Relationship With Self

Not just being loved by others, but learning, in this lifetime, what it truly means to love and be loved—starting with ourselves? In this session, Dr. Vagdevi Meunier invites you to pause and remember that the most essential and enduring relationship in your life is the one you hold with your own self, the sacred companion who has been walking beside you all along.

With warmth, wisdom, and insight gathered from decades of guiding others on the journey towards flourishing relationships, Dr. Vagdevi will guide you through the process of renewing your relationship with your core self. You will leave not only inspired, but attuned to a deeper current within you—a remembering that loving and being loved is your soul’s real curriculum in this life.

Karina Maria, LPC
Your Goddess Story
Karina María is a Licensed Professional Counselor, life coach, and psychedelic guide who took us on a powerful somatic journey at the Soul Reset two years ago. She supports people on their spiritual path to unlock their inner power and live abundant, meaningful lives. Her work weaves psychedelics, archetypal psychology, and breathwork, all grounded in a somatic and trauma-informed approach. Karina María offers 1:1 online support and leads women’s retreats in Colorado. The guidance she offers is deeply inspired by her time with the Arhuaco and Kogi peoples of Colombia, her ancestral homeland, and by the mythic teachings of Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés and the Awakening Women Institute.
Karina Maria will take you into a space of deep remembering. A space where you can exhale… soften… and come home to yourself. This offering will slip you into a state of ease and connection—and the quiet strength that lives inside your body. Through the telling of a Goddess story, gentle breathwork, a nourishing body scan, and a guided meditation, Karina María will guide you in opening to your own resilience and joy. From this softened, grounded place, you’ll be gently invited into connection with the other participants and the land.

Brenda Coffee
Shimmering Resilience
This San Antonio gal is photographer and filmmaker and author of MAYA BLUE A Memoir of Survival, published by Simon & Schuster this past May. This book reads like a thriling Netflix series and topped out Maria Shriver’s list of recommended summer readings and has been nominated for the prestigious 2025 Kirkus Prize.
An avid adventurer and successful businesswoman, Coffee is the creator of two Top 10 websites, including 1010ParkPlace.com home to her popular BRENDA’S BLOG, delivering straight-talk about finances, fashion, life, and relationships for women over 50.

Ange K
Soulful Sing-Along Leader, Joy Bringer
Ange is returning to the Soul Reset this year to lead us in a sing-along! (And will be looking for backup singers from the crowd—-show of hands?) Last year, Ange told the story of her journey to music after a career that included crisscrossing the country in a high-responsibility role at Dell. She was 32 when she got “hustled” into joining her church choir; shy, and unable to read sheet music, she just held it in front of her face. At 35 she first sang solo in public and stepped into her joy. Inspired by her mother’s record collection: artists like Earth, Wind & Fire, The Rolling Stones, Wings, and everything Motown, her face changed; the puffiness disappeared and having the time to be in her natural rhythm, she was revitalized.
Today, she leads the Ange K Band, a much sought-after group that plays for weddings and galas in Central Texas. She loves spending time in senior communities singing, dancing, listening to their stories looking at old pictures, and affirming, yes, their husband sure was hot in 1939. She is in her season of “yes,” and the recording session, podcasts, and event gigs are rolling in. When you hear her sing a capella, it is a spiritual experience. At The Soul Reset, Ange will infuse us with her incredible light, singing and leading us in song.

About The Soul Reset
When we take care of women, women take care of the world.
This is our fifth year to host The Soul Reset at Rancho de Vida. I started it as an outcome of my own soul-mining journey that followed some big life hiccups. What I learn and continue to understand is that when we go inward, that’s where the good stuff is. And, sisterhood is the constant that renews and lifts.
