Ignite Your Power + Purpose to Emerge as the Woman You Came Here to Be.

‘the spiritual retreats of the future’
Within one year, of the 12 women who traveled to Tepoztlán, Mexico...
✨ 5 left unfulfilling jobs
✨ 1 wrote a book
✨ 2 found love (after searching for years) and got engaged
✨ 1 went back to school to pursue her dream career
✨ 2 moved to new cities

These women inspired us to return in 2023, taking 30+ women through the process and we can't wait to see the magic unfold again…
Tepoztlàn, Mexico
1x-x February 2024
This is not just a retreat; this is a life-changing experience where you will re-emerge as the woman you came here to be.
✨ The version of yourself that walks into the meeting with confidence, commanding attention and respect.
✨ The version that walks into a date, leaving the entire restaurant captivated by your beauty, power, and grace.
✨ The version that says no when she means no and hell yes when she means hell yes.
✨ The version of you who turns dreams into actual reality.
This is the place and time where you will become that woman.
Through transformational coaching and ancient Mexican rituals, you will shed all that is not you so your true self can emerge.
Sister, you know you’re ready to…
✨ Call in the courage to face all of your fears and move beyond self-doubt and outside pressure
✨ Clarify and claim your highest purpose so you can build the legacy of your one precious life
✨ Go soul-searching within to meet the tender parts of yourself yearning to be seen and heard
✨ Experience true safety and sisterhood, allowing you to be vulnerable, tap into your joy, and fully express yourself
✨ Tap into your feminine magic, play, and let your essence lead the way from here on out
“You won’t just find your purpose, you will become it. Your purpose is and always was YOU. It’s time to become her NOW. ”
