”The company could not be better, and the price is so right!” A.L.A., Utah
“These women were incredible! Every guest, and facilitators, are all amazing and I will know them for the rest of my life. I felt free to do my own thing, but also loved our outings, and adventures, all the memories, and laughter and dancing. This was my second year, and I’ll becoming every year.” S.L.F, Utah
This group is uniquely powerful, and we want what YOU want:
We want to feel good, come to know ourselves more fully, enjoy being who we are, and to plain-old chill out, all in the BEST company.
No prior experience necessary ;)
We will focus the week around the Full Moon and finding even more appreciation for our bodies, minds, and souls for the upcoming year

First come, first serve 💗
Daily Schedule
*dates & activities are all liable to change as necessary. Its Mexico, plans shift ;)
Arrival- Often some of us come early to stay the first night in Puerto Vallarta so we don’t have to run from the airport to catch water taxi. We have a meal, sleep, and head over to Yelapa the next morning. Check for those details, and of course, contact us with any questions. This is why it is technically an 8-day retreat.
In the late morning after food, we head to the pier together, hop on the water taxi that will take us to Yelapa. Its a gorgeous 45-minute coastal boat ride in.
