A Sacred Pause to set your Wild Heart Free.
Come home to the rhythm of the Ocean, the whisper of Moonlight, & the untamed beauty of your own Wild Heart.
You don't have to do anything to be worthy of this pause.
this is your invitation to be - wild, soft, radiant, true.
breathe in the ocean air, connect with your sisters & reconnect with you sense of joy!
Sisters of the Sea is a soul-nourishing retreat for women who are ready to pause, soften, receive, & remember. Set in the tropical haven of Yelapa, Mexico - a hidden village with no roads, where jungle meets sea - you'll be held by nature and sisterhood as you unwind into joy, embodiment, and magick.
This is NOT a Retreat for performing or perfecting.
It is a sacred YES to:
resting deeply, to receiving the Goddess within you,
to laughing, crying, and allowing your soul to be fed.
Over six intentional days, you’ll be held in sisterhood and surrounded by nature — the rhythm of the ocean, the warmth of the sun, and the magic of the sacred feminine. From morning stretches under golden sunlight to dancing barefoot beneath the full moon, each moment is an invitation to return to joy, presence, and your sacred self.
