Sound Wisdom Retreats, LLC, is a small business begun by Paula Pugh in 1997. Her inspiration for this work came after reading Dr. Christiane Northrup's book Women's Bodies; Women's Wisdom. Paula was so inspired by Dr. Northrup's material that she immediately wanted to study more about it with other women. She became trained as a small groups facilitator. She designed a series of classes and retreats to explore health issues of concern to women {see resources}. She is not a doctor or a nurse, yet Paula offers a safe and confidential space where women are encouraged to share their personal truth and collective wisdom. We, as women, don't need to be 'experts' to access what we know deep within ourselves. We need the courage and confidence to trust this profound place that is ready to awaken.

Paula offers classes and retreats where this material is packaged in a highly accessible form where it can be discussed, processed and internalized. She loves this work and is excited to help women learn to trust themselves and the messages their bodies give them.

Mark the Moment has emerged from Paula's interaction with the women in her classes and retreats. Creating places where people can connect beyond the mundane and surface aspects of everyday living is now her mission. Having recognized the need for such work in today's society, she has been working hard to design a formula that will help people create truly meaningful moments in their lives. This web site is intended to be a gift where people can get started in redesigning their priorities and are given a new tool to begin deepening their relationships with family, friends, co-workers and themselves.
