joshua tree | silent retreat

oct | jan | feb 2025/26

this retreat is for you if...

  • you find yourself craving stillness in a world that never stops talking.

  • the wisdom of your intuition feels just beyond your reach, and you’re ready to hear her clearly.

  • you sense there’s something essential waiting to be remembered—not learned.

  • your soul feels at home in vast, open desert spaces, where silence becomes medicine.

  • you long to reconnect with your feminine power in a circle of women who truly see you.

  • you’re willing to move, dance, paint, laugh, cry, and be uncomfortable if it means being real.

this retreat is not for you if...

  • you seek structured programs with guaranteed outcomes

  • silence feels more threatening than inviting

  • you measure growth by what you gain rather than what you release

  • disconnecting from technology creates genuine anxiety

  • you prefer spiritual journeys without encountering your shadows

for four sacred days, we’ll be surrounded by energy vortexes and with skies filled with the stars next to the milky way galaxy, away from the cities and air pollution. this retreat is a frequency shift. we incorporate playful rituals like belly dance, adornment practices, and intuitive painting with blue lotus and rose mocktails, you’ll awaken your feminine magnetism in ways that feel both sacred and joyful. spacious afternoons invite you to rest, book a massage, or just float in desert silence. each evening closes with nourishing ceremony, from stargazing to a heart-opening cacao and sound baths under the desert stars. we remember together what we've always known beneath the all of the noise.

Each day follows a gentle rhythm that blends movement, spacious rest, and sacred ceremony.

Mornings begin with tea, light breakfast, energizing yoga, and guided breathwork to awaken the body and clear the mind. Afternoons are open and spacious — time for you to lounge by the pool, book a massage, journal, or wander the desert in silence.

As the sun softens, we gather for feminine practices and playful workshops like belly dance, adornment rituals, or paint & sip with blue lotus and rose mocktails. Evenings close with yin yoga, stargazing, or a heart-opening cacao and sound bath ceremony.

note: this is a sample schedule. detailed schedule will be available upon arrival.

  • bring comfortable clothing that honors both the desert's heat and its cool nights. bring a journal. bring any sacred objects that remind you of your deepest intentions.

    but more important than what you carry in your hands is what you leave behind in your heart:

    leave behind expectations of what awakening should look like. leave behind the need to emerge with answers. leave behind the habit of measuring your journey against others'.

    the desert will provide everything essential.

  • we invite you to disconnect from technology for our time together. this isn’t about strict rules but about creating conditions for deeper listening.

    upon arrival, we offer a box where you can place your devices, a symbolic letting go of the constant pull of elsewhere. your phone will remain accessible for genuine emergencies, but we encourage you to experience these days free from the tether of digital connection.

  • listen not to the voice that weighs pros and cons, that compares and calculates. listen instead to the quieter voice beneath—the one that speaks in whispers, in dreams, in the pause between heartbeats.

    it may not be your path if you're seeking guaranteed outcomes, if silence feels threatening rather than inviting, if you measure growth by what you gain rather than what you release.

the desert teaches us that emptiness is not something to be feared, but a space where the unexpected can finally take root.
