Past Retreats

This was my 13th pilgrimage and my 4th retreat to India.  This year we started at the Taj Mahal and went to the most Northern region of India, Leh Ladakh.  We experienced the sacredness of ancient monasteries, took a ride on the worlds highest motorable road, rode camels at sunset and explored the Nubra Valley.  We ended our retreat in Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga where we stayed in a luxury resort with amazing views of the Ganga river.  

This was my 1st retreat to Mexico.  Our eco- boutique retreat center was a 40 minute boat ride from Puerto Vallarta.  This was my first retreat after the pandemic and it was a beautiful gathering of women who came together to reconnect to e our adventurous spirit.  We enjoyed staying in the jungle but playing in the sea.  We had the most incredible meals and delicious drinks.  We snorkeled, paddled-boarded and enjoyed the cozy private beach that we had all to ourselves.  

This was my 2nd retreat to Bali and we stayed down south in my favorite area of Uluwatu.  We stayed in an amazing luxury retreat villa just steps away from the cliffside of Bingin beach.   We meditated with the rise of the Sun and practiced Himalayan Kundalini each day.  We made our way to the sacred water temple in Ubud and enjoyed shopping in the urban village of Seminyak.  We took the tram down the side of the cliffs to spent the day on Karma beach, ending the day with the most magical sunset ever! 

This was my 2nd retreat to India.  We started off our adventure by visited the magnificent Taj-Mahal.  We also visited the Red Fort and the peaceful Lotus Temple.  We then made our way to Rishikesh where we adventured for a few days before attending the Sattva Summit.  The Sattva Summit was an incredible experience where we dove into the sacred wisdom of the Yog-Vedantic practices.  We ended our 2 weeks together shopping in Old Delhi.  

This was my first retreat to India and I got to co-lead the retreat with my best friend so that was extra special for me.  We started the retreat in Varanasi which sits along the Ganga river.  We took boats out onto the Ganga at sunrise and sunset to witness the cremations occurring along the river.  We also visited Sarnath, the place where Buddha preached his first sermon after enlightenment.  We ended our retreat in Rishikesh attending the Sattva Summit. 

​

This was my 3rd retreat to Bali, and this time we arrived early and did a little pre-retreat exploring.  We started in Kuta and then took a fast motorboat to the Gili Islands.  The retreat was a few blocks away from the golden beaches of Seminyak.  We explored many different areas; enjoyed lunch in Ubud, shopping in Canggu, and an incredible sunset on the magical beach of Uluwatu.

This was my 3rd retreat to India and boy was it an adventure!  We started in Dharmshala where we got to see the Dali Llama in his home temple.  We stayed in a beautiful Himalayan resort right on the river and got to see the first dusting of snow on the Himalayan peaks.  We then made our way to Rishikesh where we attended the Sattva Summit and visited many temples and enjoyed shopping in Laxman Jhula.  We ended our retreat by visiting the aw-inspiring Taj Mahal.  

This Goddess retreat was my first mountain retreat held at a beautiful family cabin in the woods of Prescott.  We meditated with the rise of the sun, experienced Himalayan Kundalini Journey's each morning, and hiked and explored the area each afternoon.  We spent a lot of cozy time at the kitchen table working on visions boards and enjoying arts and crafts together.  We had some of the best meals I've ever had during a retreat prepared by a dear student and friend.  What a special time together!

This was my 1st retreat and 1st visit to Italy.  I planned the trip to coincide with my 40th birthday, and what a special birthday it was!  We stayed in an incredible Tuscan Villa high on the hillside of Lucca.  We meditated each morning in the family vineyard overlooking the Tuscan Valley and ended our days poolside watching the golden sunset.  It was truly a magical experience.  We hiked the Cinque Terras, rode bikes along the village pathway, and got to see an Italian opera. 

This was my first yoga retreat that I ever led!  I got to co-lead the retreat with my best friend which was extra special.  We hosted our retreat at Soulshine in Ubud, which is owned and ran by Michael Franti.  The energy of the retreat center was electrifying and the group of women who came on the retreat created an experience of a lifetime.  We visited the sacred water temple, enjoyed shopping and riding scooters, and enjoyed all the incredible amenities of our retreat center.
