Elevate your body through invigorating yoga sessions that harmonize the mind, body, spirit, as the energy coursing through your body as you delve deeper into each pose, unlocking strength, flexibility, and balance, the gentle breeze blowing through your hair, reminding you that you are a powerful, vibrant woman, on a mission to create an exhilarating life!

Here you will discover the power of stillness and intuition where you will uncover profound solutions to illuminate your career, relationships, and above all else, your soul's purpose.



Happy Mind

Explore the magic that is created when we bring together practices to connect to your intuition, combined with leadership coaching, and curating your personal manifesto.

Unveil hidden blocks that may be hindering your progress and abundance. Trust the wisdom from within as you release limiting beliefs, embracing a new sense of clarity and purpose. Experience the profound liberation that comes with peeling away the layers that no longer serve you, making space for well-deserved prosperity and joy to flow effortlessly into your life.

With guidance from experienced mentors, you will develop the skills and mindset to step fully into your visionary leadership, empowering others and making a profound impact by releasing your innate potential and cultivating unwavering confidence that radiates from the inside out!

“Travel is the bridge that connects our dreams to reality.” – Jon Miksis

Happy Soul

Being a powerhouse woman can be lonely at times. Once you climb to the top, there are less women there who understand your struggles, and align with your goals of creating the most extraordinary life. This experience will allow you to cultivate friendships with like-minded women who are on a mission to live life to the fullest, with purpose and passion, and create a legacy that proceeds you.

You will also have an opportunity to indulge in a captivating journey through enchanting vineyards of California. Imagine strolling through rows of lush, sun-kissed grapevines, with the crisp, fresh air carrying whispers of the region's rich winemaking history. Savor the intricate flavors of handcrafted wines, each sip unveiling a story of passion and dedication. Embrace the tranquility of the picturesque surroundings, as you indulge in the perfect blend of nature's beauty and the sophistication of California's renowned winemaking culture.

*If you prefer to not partake in the wine tasting, a lovely alternative refreshment will be provided. 

    Happy Life

    This transformational retreat is designed to give you the most luscious experience during our extended weekend together, however, the impact will last far beyond the end of our time together. 

    We will have sessions that hold space for you to cast your vision to gain fresh perspectives and gain crystal-clear focus through intentional goal-mapping, which includes a five-year plan that sets the stage for creating your ideal lifestyle. 

    As you pen your dreams onto paper, witness the seeds of possibility taking root within your soul, ready to blossom into a reality beyond your wildest dreams!!

    FAQ's

    I am so busy already with work and/or family obligations.
    How will I find the time to attend this retreat?

    If you feel the pull of work obligations, remember that your most valuable asset is not your employer or your business. Your most valuable asset is your health and wellbeing. This retreat will help you enhance your life in so many ways that you may even increase your productivity, creativity, and innovation upon return. 

    You're so busy putting everyone else's needs first... your partner's, your children's, your boss's, etc., that you may not remember what it is like to prioritize your own well being and enjoyment. For that matter, maybe you never had an opportunity to really consider what would bring YOU joy. 

    If you are a mom, we get it, so are we! Every mother who has come to a retreat felt more expansive and free, by reconnecting to herself and having supportive women by her side. Some women have even stated that they felt more loving and compassionate towards their children when they returned home... ourselves included!

    I would like to attend with a friend or family member, can we share a room?

    Of course, as long as every woman is 18+ and has a valid passport. Please inform us of the guest you will share with. There is a $500 discount for sharing a room.

    I would like to attend, but don't know anyone else going. How do you make the retreat enjoyable for solo travelers?

    Great question. We have had many retreat participants join solo and leave gaining a new group of sister-friends! As long as you are open to meeting new women and leave judgement of self and others behind, you will find an abundance of love and support.  On one retreat, a woman realized that she was the youngest woman in the group and felt nervous about being able to relate to some of the other women. By the end of the retreat, she found a soul sister in a woman who was nearly twice her age and they bonded over shared struggles in motherhood. The women who join in our retreats may experience differences of the outer world, but learn to appreciate their own unique beauty and strength within as well as the connection they share with one another. We will have intentional practices to connect with one another and grow together!

      The Goddess of Light Retreat Mission

      We believe that every woman is a goddess, with a unique and powerful essence that deserves to be honored and celebrated.

      Our mission is to create a space where women can thrive and connect with their highest selves,
      surrounded by like-minded sisters who support and uplift each other.

      We believe that the key to a fulfilling life is to connect with our inner goddess, and to embrace our mind, body, and spirit in all its forms. Whether we are strong and assertive or gentle and nurturing, we honor the diverse expressions of womanhood and encourage each woman to discover and embrace her own unique power.

      We believe that self-care is essential to our well-being, and that taking time to nurture ourselves is not only a luxury but a necessity.

      At our retreats, we provide a sanctuary where women can escape the demands of daily life and focus on their own self-care journey. From nourishing meals to guided meditations and yoga practices, we offer a range of activities designed to promote relaxation, rejuvenation, and bliss.

      We believe that community is vital to our happiness and success, and that by coming together as women, we can support and inspire each other to reach our full potential. Our retreats provide a safe and supportive environment where women can connect deeply with one another, sharing their struggles and triumphs and offer each other guidance and encouragement.

      We believe that by empowering women to connect with their inner goddess, we can create a ripple effect of positive change in the world. When women are thriving and fulfilled, they have the power to inspire and uplift their families, communities, and beyond.

      Our vision is to create a world where all women can embrace their divine energy and live their lives to the fullest.

      Join us on this journey of self-discovery, sisterhood, and transformation. Come home to your inner goddess and let us support you on your path to thriving and connecting to your highest self!
