Back to the Present

A 10-Day Mindfulness & Dopamine Reset Experience

July 19th – 29th

A 10-Day Mindfulness & Dopamine Reset to help overwhelmed women break free from mindless screen time, regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with their bodies, and return to a more present, intentional, heart-led life.

We live in a culture of constant stimulation.

Many of us don't even realize the extent of it until we pause long enough to notice how uncomfortable stillness has become.

From the moment we wake up, our attention is pulled in countless directions. Notifications, endless scrolling, podcasts, emails, advertisements, social media, shopping, productivity, and the pressure to always be consuming something new.

We've become so accustomed to constant input that silence can feel unfamiliar, stillness can feel unsettling, and simply being with ourselves can feel uncomfortable.

Without realizing it, many of us have stopped fully inhabiting our own lives.

The in-between moments that once invited presence have become opportunities to check our phones. We scroll while waiting in line, reach for stimulation whenever boredom arises, and fill nearly every quiet space with more information.

Our minds become increasingly busy, our nervous systems rarely have a chance to settle, the line between what is truly ours and what is constantly fed to us begins to blur, and the simple beauty of everyday life quietly fades into the background.

The truth is, we were never meant to experience life this way.

The gift of being human is living it fully, completely, imperfectly.

We were meant to notice the warmth of the sun on our skin, the laughter of the people we love, the feeling of our feet on the earth, and the quiet wisdom that naturally arises when we become still enough to hear it.

We were meant to create from the heart, to play, to rest, to wonder, to gather, and to experience the richness of life from within rather than constantly searching for it outside of ourselves.

This is the heart behind Back to the Present.

Back to the Present is a 10-day mindfulness and dopamine reset designed to help you gently step away from unconscious habits of distraction and reconnect with your body, your inner and outer world, and the peace, clarity, compassion, and abundance that have been here all along.

This isn't about perfection, restriction, or eliminating technology from your life.

It's about becoming more intentional with where you place your energy and discovering how much life begins to open when you are fully here for it.

Because when we stop constantly reaching for the next distraction, we begin to remember that so much of what we're searching for has been quietly waiting for us in the present moment all along.

Join the Experience

Hi, I'm Karlie.

I know what it feels like to get caught in the constant stimulation of modern life while quietly longing to remember who you are beneath all the noise.

For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn toward the opposite of the world's busyness: silence, the inward journey, and slowing down enough to touch the truth and sacredness of life.

That calling led me to meditation, Buddhism, mindful living, yoga, nervous system regulation, and somatic healing.

One of the most transformative experiences of my life was returning to a Vipassana silent meditation retreat in 2025.

For nine days there was no phone, no conversation, no music, and nowhere else to be. There was only the practice of observing the mind, welcoming sensation, returning to the body, and meeting each moment exactly as it was.

In that silence, I didn't become someone new. I simply remembered the peace, compassion, and aliveness that had always been there beneath the noise.

When I returned home, I noticed how quickly everyday life pulled me back into distraction, and that realization became the inspiration for Back to the Present.

I created this experience to bring the depth of meditation retreat into everyday life, because presence isn't found somewhere else. It's found here, in the ordinary moments that quietly become our lives.

What Past Participants Are Saying

Kris

"I finally have a meditation practice that has lasted beyond the challenge."

"Mindfulness, meditation, and presence were always things I wanted to incorporate into my daily life, but I wasn't sure where to start or what that would actually look like. Through Back to the Present, I developed a deeper connection with myself, learned practical tools to regulate my nervous system, and built a meditation practice that has continued well beyond the challenge. I now feel calmer, more present with myself and my family, and much more able to respond rather than react to what's happening in my mind and body."

Blair

"My baseline anxiety has decreased considerably."

"Before Back to the Present, I had fallen into habits that left me spending far more time on my phone than I was comfortable with. I felt overstimulated, yet completely drained. The practices we learned throughout the challenge have helped me become more present than I have felt in a long time. Instead of automatically reaching for my phone, I now have the tools to pause, regulate, and connect with what my body and mind actually need. My baseline anxiety has decreased considerably, and I feel happier, more grounded, and much more connected to myself."

Megan

"I stopped reaching for my phone to escape every quiet moment."

"Before the challenge, I was completely attached to my phone. It was always in my hand, and I used it to escape difficult emotions or uncomfortable moments. I felt like I was losing entire days to scrolling without even remembering what I had consumed. Back to the Present helped me reconnect with myself and create more moments of stillness and mindfulness throughout my day. I'm now more relaxed, less anxious, sleeping better, and far more able to choose presence instead of automatically reaching for my phone."
