Reclaim sovereignty 𖤓 intuition 𖤓 and ease in your fertility journey 𖤓
Fertility challenges can fragment your intuition and degrade trust and confidence in your body. The fear mongering, the “fertility cliff”, the pressure. The endless google searches, the doctors visits, the bright lights and cold instruments, the onslaught of conflicting fertility advice.
You’re losing trust and connection with your body
You’re wondering if you’re even meant to be a parent
You feel like you no longer have agency in this journey
Maybe you wanted to get pregnant in 2024, but it hasn’t happened.
Or perhaps you’re in the preconception phase of your journey, preparing to get pregnant soon.
It’s time to release fear and reclaim confidence.
It’s time to cut out the noise and reconnect with your intuition.
In the quiet woods of New Hampshire, we’re creating a nest for you to return to your body and rekindle trust with your fertility.
Because with nourishment, self-awareness, body sovereignty, and trust, pregnancy happens.
On Fertile Ground is about slowing down enough to feel and listen to your body. To cut out the noise and connect with your intuition and your spirit baby. Together we’ll balance group workshops with plenty of unstructured time to just enjoy the farm: unwind, journal, forest bathe, nap, sauna, or connect with the other women.
Here on the farm we can focus on positivity, allow nature to support our cycles, and make space for deep rest.
Together, we will reclaim confidence and sovereignty over our innate ability to conceive and grow babies.
Farm to table meals, fire pit, sauna, forest bathing, spirit baby communication, fertility yoga, massage.

THE DETAILS
Thursday April 24th - Sunday April 27th, 2025 Bethel Farm, Hillsborough, New Hampshire
EARTHEN.
We land in the deep woods of rural New England. Far from city lights and sirens. Far from commuter traffic, and far from our busy social calendars. Here on the grounds of Bethel Farm, we can wander through the woods, dip our feet in the pond, bathe in dark skies. Here is where we remember what our bodies need to conceive, grow, and birth life. We rise with the sun, we eat from the land, our senses sync with the plants and animals, the wind patterns and the scents. Through the seasonal change from winter to spring, we witness and experience the driving force of life. Nature shows us that fertility is the path of all things, when unimpeded.
On Fertile Ground is a fertility retreat that centers Yoga, Bodywork, Spirit Baby Communication, and Nature. Over this one weekend, on ancient land, we rekindle our fertility with the Earthen, the Ethereal, and the Cellular.
CELLULAR.
Reclaim fertility sovereignty. Reclaim your birthright. With the quiet, steady support of the northern woods, and energetic guidance and communion with your spirit baby, you can find a way back to feeling and trusting your body. Through intentional yogic movement led by Kerry, and deep pelvic bodywork with Phoebe, you integrate the earthen and ethereal in your body. Reawakening the rivers of your blood and lymph, down regulating your nervous system to safety and openness for new life. These simple, potent body-based practices allow you to reclaim your power over your cells and your hormonal landscape.
ETHEREAL.
With the earth grounding you, and with clairvoyant guidance, you’ll receive a unique opportunity to connect with the energy and messages of your baby who is still in the spirit realm, preparing to come into your life. Spirit Baby Medium, Justine, is your bridge to your spirit baby. With her as your shepherdess and interpreter, you can ask your baby questions like - What can I do to prepare for your arrival? What can I do to help you get here? What do you need from me? How can we strengthen our connection?
This four-day retreat includes…
Morning meditations - In the early morning, we sit in quietude and find peace and calm together to begin the day.
Daily Fertility Yoga - Land in your body, move with intention, regulate the nervous system and open your body, energy, and soul to receive. Each yoga class will include reiki and some Ayurvedic wisdom to connect you to your natural rhythms.
Spirit Baby Workshop - a guided meditation journey so you can connect with your spirit baby directly. You’ll learn more about spirit babies and how you can the spring season to support your fertility, with time for shares and Q&A after the meditation.
Fertility Self-Massage Workshop: Learn simple and potent techniques to release pelvic and abdominal fascia around your ovaries and womb. Understand why organ movement and mobility is essential for function, and establish a home routine for self-care.
Evening wind-downs: We’ll wind down each day with either a ceremonial bonfire or Yoga Nidra with Reiki, building nourishing and potent evening routines.
Opening and closing circles: Opportunities to gather, set intentions, and create a group container for our time together. A time to align with yourself and get to know each other.
On this tranquil land, we also center rest, rejuvenation, and creativity. Available to you every day are miles of walking trails around the farm, sauna, plunge pond, fire pit, and yoga studio. We’ve created a daily rhythm where you’ll feel held and guided through group sessions and meals, while also having plenty of unstructured time to nap, journal, and enjoy all the amenities Bethel Farm has to offer.
VIP Add-On
Looking for more individualized care? Our VIP Add-On gets you three, 60-minute 1:1 sessions with your hosts - exclusive time so that you have dedicated, personalized attention in addition to the group programming. Your sessions with Justine and Phoebe will be scheduled during either the afternoon free time or morning yoga. Your session with Kerry will be virtual, either before or after the retreat.
Spirit Baby Reading with Justine: time for you to go deeper with your spirit baby and your guides. Ask what’s on your heart and be led into more clarity through the connection facilitated by Justine and the messages she brings through just for you.
Fertility Massage Session with Phoebe: A more targeted and personalized and deep pelvic/ abdominal massage with the intention to awaken the innate rhythm and power of your ovaries and uterus. Held on a private hillside cabin, allow your body to unwind and your tissues to find new patterns and new life.

Where You’ll be Staying
Bethel Farm is a small yoga and living arts center in the woods of Hillsborough, NH. This tranquil land is curated for you to step into deep reflection and connection to the earth.
You’ll be staying in the cozy and beautiful Yoga Castle, the main building on the farm. The Yoga Castle has four levels including bedrooms, common area, bathrooms, kitchen, and a yoga studio. Built from locally sourced materials, the beautiful space is super cozy and spacious - heated with wood stoves, bathed in sunlight from gracious windows, and as tranquil as the land on which it's built.
Levels 1, 2, and 4 are lodging and common areas, and level 3 is the most beautiful yoga studio you’ll ever set eyes on.
Meals are held in a separate dining room, full of art, vaulted ceilings, and communal tables.
Other places to explore on the farm are the hoop houses which grow some of the food you’ll eat, outdoor showers beside the Yoga Castle, hillside cabins where you’ll get your Spirit Baby Reading and Fertility Massage Session (VIP add-on only), the natural swimming pond for cold plunges, walking trails for forest bathing and walking meditation, and, of course, the wood-heated sauna which will be fired up every afternoon.
The Food
Indulge in farm-to-table menus created specifically to nourish your fertility.
Allow chef Tracey Fitts to do all the cooking so that you can fully relax around your meal and eating. Each dish will be protein rich, with lots of whole grains and an abundance of seasonal vegetables and healthy fats. You will leave with full bellies and inspiration to integrate more fertility friendly foods into your life. All meals will be gluten free.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included. We recommend bringing your favorite snacks in case you get hungry outside of meal times,

FAQs: On Fertile Ground Retreat
If you don’t see your question answered below - please reach out to Justine (justine@justine-cohen.com)
I will be in the middle of an IVF cycle - can I still come?
-
Generally yes! The only time of a cycle that we would recommend staying home is if you have an egg retrieval or transfer schedule for that weekend.
Coming to the retreat while in the 2ww or even Stims is fine! There will be a fridge in the main building where you can store your meds if need be.
What if I sign up for the retreat and find out that I’m pregnant before it starts?
-
We absolutely understand how hard it is to commit and plan while trying to conceive. You can attend the weekend during early pregnancy - please let us know beforehand and we can discuss from there. We will not be able to accommodate later pregnancies.
I live close by - can I commute to the retreat and stay at my home in the evening?
-
Yes - please contact us and we will discuss options! Email address….
Are there any private rooms available?
-
We have two rooms (not listed above) that can be private lodging. Please contact us for options and pricing if you are interested in a private room.
I want to come but I can’t get there until Friday. Is there a price for Friday - Sunday?
-
We have tried to keep the costs of this retreat accessible and affordable - if we are holding a bed for you for the whole retreat, the cost remains the same. Please note that our Opening Circle is on Thursday, so please do what you can to arrive Thursday so you can be in the experience with the group, start to finish.
I’m flying in and won’t have a car to get me to the Farm. How will I get there?
-
We will put together a group chat where people can coordinate carpooling! If need be, you could rent a car or look into a taxi service or even ride share apps that will go longer distances.
What if I don’t want to do everything that is scheduled?
-
Everything is optional. The weekend revolves around you and your needs and choices. If you’d like to sleep in - great! If you want to opt out of yoga or other group sessions, that is also fine. Whatever nourishes and nurtures you.
I have a food allergy - can I be accommodated?
-
Please indicate your allergy in the Intake Form and we will notify the chef. For the most part this will be a gluten free weekend, filled with fertility nourishing foods, lovingly prepared by the retreat chef - Tracey.
I’ve never done fertility yoga before? What is it?
-
Fertility Yoga is a gentle yoga practice that incorporates restorative and slow flow yoga. Kerry will take care to make sure that everyone is safe in the movement and take into account where everyone is on their cycle and modify as need be.
-
Spirit Babies are the souls of unborn babies. If you desire a child - then you have a spirit baby. Having an in person 1:1 reading with Justine is so special. She will help you establish your relationship with your spirit. We will also be doing a group spirit baby session where you begin to learn how to connect on your own. You can read more about spirit babies here, or listen here or here.
What are spirit babies?
Is it safe to do fertility self-massage while actively TTC?
-
YES! Pelvic self-massage is safe to do during all times of your natural menstrual cycle. However, there are some precautions to take during a stimulation cycle for egg retrieval, or after an embryo transfer. Read More About Timing Fertility Massage
What type of massage will I be getting if I chose the VIP add-on?
-
You’ll be receiving fertility-specific massage. Phoebe is a Certified Mercier Therapy Practitioner and blends Mercier Therapy with other deep pelvic visceral (organ-level) massage to improve reproductive functioning. Pelvic massage for fertility is very deep and stimulating (not your typical relaxation massage!) and is geared toward improving the mobility and blood flow of your ovaries and uterus. If you are selecting the VIP option and plan to be in an IVF cycle during the retreat, please reach out to discuss options. Read More About Fertility Massage.
What is Ayurveda and why might I want a private consultation?
-
Ayurveda is the 5000 year old health system that translates to ‘the wisdom of life’ and often thought of as the Sister Science to Yoga. The main tenets of Ayurveda are to live with the rhythms of nature, understand our uniqueness that we were born with and what imbalances are. And then what can we do to rebalance and remove burdens from the body. In terms of fertility, ayurveda is beneficial to forming routine around naturally boosting your fertility with lifestyle, food, and daily practices.
If I don’t do the VIP add on, will I still be exposed to massage, spirit babies, and yoga & Ayurveda over the weekend?
-
Yes! The VIP gives you 1:1 access with Justine, Kerry, and Phoebe. However, there will be a group spirit baby session where you will learn to connect to your spirit baby on your own, and Phoebe will lead a group self fertility massage session. Kerry will also be weaving Ayurveda into the weekend - with yoga, meditation and beyond. There will be ~4 yoga sessions scheduled and time for morning meditation.
What if I didn’t buy a VIP ticket and change my mind and want to do it?
-
There are only 7 available VIP passes. If they are not all taken when you change your mind, then you can sign up. But if they are taken, sadly, we will not be able to add one on. Better to purchase it when you can.
