Retiro del Sol

Sunburned hills. Cortijo stone. Stillness at 2,000 feet.

Nestled in the majestic Almería hills inside a beautifully restored traditional Spanish Cortijo, Retiro del Sol was the retreat that started it all. Nine bedrooms, an on-site pool and hot tub, spa services, and meals built entirely from locally sourced, organic ingredients. Each day began with movement and ended around a table. In between: the Sorbas Caves, the white-sand beaches of the Mediterranean, the cobbled streets of Mojacar, and trail hikes through some of the most dramatic landscape in southern Europe.

Algarve, Europe

Praia da Luz, Portugal

Coastal Luz Retreat

Atlantic light. Private chef. A catamaran and nowhere to be.

Praia da Luz is a small beach village on Portugal's Algarve coast, tucked between golden cliffs and the Atlantic. The retreat center featured an infrared sauna, indoor bubble pool, outdoor pool with sunbathing terraces, a hammock garden, and massage services — with the beach a 15-minute walk from the door. A private local chef prepared every meal. Days followed a rhythm of morning yoga, guided coastal hikes, self-care time, Yin and sound healing in the evenings, and one full catamaran adventure through sea grottos and rock formations that nobody wanted to end.

"I was extremely satisfied with the entire retreat experience. The morning yoga sessions and our sailing day were definite highlights, both grounding and unforgettable. Honestly, I can't think of anything I'd change. Thank you for putting this beautiful experience together."

Andean Highlands, Peru

Sacred Valley, Peru

Soul Steps

Ancient valleys. Sacred fire. A sunrise over Machu Picchu.

Our largest Peru gathering yet, and a sold-out celebration of connection. Eighteen guests spent eight days in the Andean highlands of the Sacred Valley, moving through daily yoga, authentic Andean ceremony, cacao circles, and a local service project alongside the Quechua community. The week built toward a guided sunrise at Machu Picchu, the kind of moment that reorders something inside you. Held in earthen casitas beneath the mountains, nourished by high-vibrational meals, and carried by the connection of everyone who came.

Authentic Andean ceremonies & cacao circles
Guided sunrise at Machu Picchu
Excursions through the Sacred Valley

"Machu Picchu lives up to every version of it you've imagined, and somehow more so when you've spent a week in the Sacred Valley first. The excursions were genuinely thoughtful, not tourist-box-checking, and the Andean ceremonies added a depth I didn't anticipate. This retreat exceeded everything I hoped for, and I'll absolutely be back."

Awaken Your Inner Light

Red rocks. Sacred circles. A return to your inner light.

An intimate women's retreat set among the red rocks of Sedona, designed for rest, reconnection, and renewal. Over four days, a small circle of women moved through yoga, breathwork, sound healing, and sacred ceremony, walked to Oak Creek, gathered around cacao and fire, and made space to set everything down and remember who they are beneath it all. Held in a private red-rock sanctuary with a pool, hot tub, and open desert sky.

"I arrived depleted and left feeling like myself again. The setting was breathtaking, the ceremonies were moving, and the women I met feel like sisters now. Exactly the reset I didn't know I needed."
