Picture this:

You rise with the sun, your “alarm” the song of the birds just starting to stir outside. You look out and see the lake, calm as glass, and the clouds sitting in a halo around the tip of the volcano.

Heaven resting on the earth.

You get dressed, walk upstairs, and lay out your mat, silently greeting the sleepy faces of the other women as they arrive. Together you begin your day with salutations, chanting the names of the sun, moving and breathing together, slowly burning off the chill of the morning.

Just as inquiry comes to a close, your stomach starts to grumble, and the breakfast bell rings in the distance. You walk over and line up with your plates, helping yourself to warm food, fresh fruit, and strong hot coffee.

Together you sit and relish in the comfort of the food, the view, and the company, trying to soak up every moment fully, so as not to miss any of it.

For one week, it’s you, meeting you - held in the support of community and the abundance of nature.

Why this retreat?

Yoga, Sex + Death™ - it’s an epic experience specifically curated for those who are ready to finally have the healing, love and intimacy they seek.

​This is about stepping away from the distractions of your daily life and into the majestic beauty of the sacred waters of Lake Atitlan where healing happens, life-long connections are made and breakthroughs are inevitable.​

​This weeklong retreat is tailor-made for women searching for deeper intimacy, healing, clarity about the root of their suffering, and a new supportive community of like-minded women on a spiritual path.

Who You’ll Be Retreating With:

This is a curated crew—high achievers, successful entrepreneurs, yogi’s, meditators, therapists, coaches and courageous seekers who are serious about growth and ready to take responsibility for their lives.

​You’ll be in the company of like-minded women who are here to share their lives, support, insights, vulnerabilities and bring fresh perspectives to every conversation.

​Our Promise: You’ll return home in love with yourself, ready to share your radiance with the world. You’ll leave with an intimacy you’ve never known, valuable, life-long connections, and a renewed sense of direction that only comes from immersing yourself in quiet luxury, surrounded by nature, away from distractions with a powerful group of women.​

What Makes This Retreat Different?

It’s not a lay-by-the-pool retreat. This is a completely immersive healing RETREAT where YOU are the agenda. Each day is filled with dynamic and subtle in-depth group sessions, individual coaching in the “love seats,” and guided somatic practices to bring you back home to your own inherent wisdom.

This is a one-of a kind retreat curriculum. There’s no other retreat like it. It is specifically tailored to meet you exactly where you are. It’s designed for healing on every level - physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual.

Plus, there’s plenty of time for rest and reflection. Expect down time to reflect, pause and integrate with sunrise lake swims, healing massages, and slow afternoon breaks surrounded by the stunning nature of Lake Atitlan.

Because when you’re relaxed, safe, inspired, and surrounded by beauty, THAT’S when the magic happens.

Why You Should Be Here:

This retreat is a curated experience for heart-centered business women on a spiritual path just like you who know that to give back in a huge way and bring forth change in our crazy world, you need to do your own work first.

Over the course of seven days, you’ll be part of powerful transformative experiences that will leave you with fresh insights, practices, and deep connections that deliver the freedom and love you truly seek.

From yoga and meditation sessions, to somatic experiences, to self-inquiry facilitations, to journaling exercises, this is a space where nothing is off-limits. Your biggest challenges will become opportunities, and your wins will inspire others.

• You want your partner to change so that you can have the relationship you desire.

Again and again. (Listen to their own words in the testimonials below!)

It doesn’t have to take you 15 years to...

• feel comfortable in your own skin,
