A 7-day immersive journey into our natural state of inner peace
March 3-10, 2023 | Cabarete, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Are you craving warmth and sunshine?
Are you yearning for a respite from the hustle and bustle of life?
Do you wish there was a beautiful, relaxing place you could escape to, filled with luxury where everything was done and planned for you?
Are you aching to reconnect with yourself and with other women who are seeking tranquility as well?
Most importantly, are you ready to find your inner peace and experience a transformation so powerful that this peace spills over into every part of your life?
If you answered any of these questions with a resounding “YES!”... You are ready for paradise!
Paradise can be defined as an ideal or idyllic place or state. And in March 2023, I’m inviting you to embrace an idyllic paradise both internally and externally!
As we finally say farewell to the darkness of winter, I’d love for you to join me and other like-minded women to soak up some much-needed Vitamin Sea in the breathtaking Dominican Republic.
Imagine going through the harsh, cold months ahead knowing you have something to look forward to that’s just for YOU — a time and place reserved that’s all about returning to yourself and finding your inner paradise.
Now, imagine only having to pack your bag for such an amazing escape...because everything else is taken care of for you!
In this carefully curated retreat, you’ll have time to relax and unplug as you enjoy a week of resting, connecting, and playing in the presence of natural beauty.
During your stay at a luxurious beachfront villa in the sunny and warm Dominican Republic, you will experience gorgeous white sand beaches and sparkling turquoise water as far as the eye can see.
And as you soak in this outer paradise, you will journey to find and embrace your inner paradise as well.

When is this retreat?This retreat is from Friday, March 3rd through Friday, March 10th, 2023. It is seven days and six nights.
Where is this retreat?
This retreat is in Cabarete, Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic at a luxurious and private beachfront villa where only our retreat members will be staying. The exact location, as well as a packing list and other details, will be sent to you in a welcome email approximately six weeks before our trip.
Do I need a passport to go on this retreat?
Yes, you need a valid passport to go on this retreat, as we are traveling internationally.
What does this retreat cost include?
Luxury accommodations, all meals & snacks made by our in-house chef, all healing/group excursions (contained within the itinerary), ground transportation to and from the airport, transportation to excursions, private 24 hour security, and daily housekeeping service.
What is not included in the cost of the retreat?
Airfare and souvenirs/food/items bought during the excursions and at the airport are not included.
What airport should I fly into?
You can fly into Puerto Plata International Airport, where ground transportation will be provided to the retreat house. If you fly into any other airport, you need to secure your own transportation to the house.
Tell me about the ground transportation from the Puerto Plata airport!
We will meet at a time & specific location at the airport, where we will board our van to the retreat house. The trip in the van is approximately thirty minutes. We will have room for one suitcase and one carry-on bag.
What time will the ground transportation leave the airport?
As of now, I am gathering the information for the flights. It will most likely leave around 1:30pm so that everyone can arrive. We can check into our villa at 2pm.

The ride is just thirty minutes!
Please tell me about the meals provided.
For the retreat, our own private chef will be cooking all of our meals in our villa. Snacks and delicious water infused with fruit/herbs/cucumber are also included. Our chef and her team will clean up after each meal too!
What if I have a food allergy?
Please let me know if you have a food allergy/intolerance.
Will alcohol be served on this retreat?
No, alcohol will not be served. Alcohol numbs and actually inhibits the ability to have breakthroughs and transformation on retreat. We will get high off of our own supply through breath work, movement, and connection with nature and sisterhood. After hosting many retreats, many women feel less of a desire to drink and numb after leaving, which they report as a good thing. We will have mocktails so we can toast each other and celebrate in our beautiful setting!
Tell me about the yoga on the retreat!
If you are looking for a hardcore yoga retreat, this is not that! We will be doing gentle yoga and movement each day so that we can get into our bodies. Light breathing exercises as well as fluid movement will be practiced. We will also have a guest yoga teacher come to our villa twice during the week!
Will yoga mats/blankets be provided?
Brand new yoga mats will be provided. Bring a blanket if you like to be covered!
Tell me about the massages by the pool!
Each guest will receive a 60-minute massage by the pool! This is an opportunity to receive pampering and deepen your relaxation in paradise. The best part is, you can float back to your room! Your appointment time will be given to you upon arrival.
Tell me about the Transparent Kayaking in Sosua Bay excursion!
Ground transportation will be provided to take us to Sosua Bay for a Transparent Kayaking excursion just 15 minutes away! The beautiful beach of Sosua offers clear turquoise, crystalline, and calm waters for us to kayak on. We will be met by Henry, our guide, who will give us brief instructions, and then we will set out in transparent kayaks made for two. Our kayaking excursion is approximately 2 hours, including travel time.
Tell me about the Tropical Snorkeling in Sosua Bay excursion!
Ground transportation will be provided to take us to Sosua Bay for a Tropical Snorkeling Excursion just 15 minutes away.

Our snorkeling excursion is approximately 3 hours, including travel time.

What are the healing rituals under the stars?

What is the average temperature in Cabarete in March?
The average temperature in Cabarete in March is a high of 86 degrees and a low of 67 degrees with sunny skies!
