Women's Retreats
Say HELL YES to yourself!
A women's retreat to replenish, connect, and thrive
Sayulita, Mexico
February 11-16, 2024
If you’re a woman who is too freakin’ busy and you’re ready to jump off the hectic treadmill, embrace your worthiness and get crystal clear on what’s most important, then join us for this powerful retreat where you’ll connect with amazing women, your wisest self and a fierce conviction to THRIVE.
Looking around the closing evening circle, you see the beauty and power of yourself reflected in the eyes of your new soul sisters. You feel the warmth of the sand between your toes as you connect to the earth. The sound of the crashing waves reminds you how grounded and powerful you’ve felt all week. You can’t remember the last time your body felt so relaxed and open to all of life’s possibilities.
Stepping into the center of the sacred circle of women surrounding you, you realize you can finally take a full breath. The stress has melted away.
You feel the love and support swirling around you and realize that you can always return to this glowing feeling. This magical time has been all you desired and a sense of overwhelming gratitude is brimming in your heart and eyes.
You reflect on the journey you co-created - the depth of sharing, the sweetness of your newfound connections and the fullness of having truly replenished your body and soul. You feel a deep knowing in your bones that the new ideas, skills and vision will help you create the life of your wildest dreams. Your commitment is fierce and you trust that this transformational experience is part of you now.
You have the most glorious feeling that you've come home to yourself...
Why should you say yes?
During this retreat, you’ll learn the root cause of your busyness and let that sh*t go so you can kick your overwhelm to the curb.
Daily yoga, naps in your hammock and rejuvenating dips in the pool will allow you to reset and recharge so you leave feeling grounded, present and inspired to integrate all of this yumminess at home.
The ocean air will infuse you with bliss!
Each glorious day will include powerful group coaching and experiential learning where you’ll learn tools to prioritize yourself so your name shows up at the top of the priority list. It’s finally time for YOU!
While being immersed in stunning nature we will show you how to embrace your Enoughness so you can finally feel worthy just for being you. How amazing is that?
You’ll experience guided visualizations, thought provoking journal prompts and intentional silence where you’ll hear the whispers of your inner truth and connect with your wisest self so you will be crystal clear on what’s a HELL YES in your life.
By the end of this retreat, you’ll gain deep conviction to create the life you desire and deserve!!
Sayulita, Mexico
Sayulita is “the crown jewel” of the Riviera Nayarit. It’s well known for its surfing/boho/yoga/chill vibe where people are friendly and laid back. Sayulita is so special, in fact, it's been named a pueblo magico by the government of Mexico, a designation reserved exclusively for the most enchanting towns throughout Mexico that provide visitors with a "magical experience", due to their culture, history, or natural beauty.
Nearby San Pancho – colorful, playful and fun – is like a bite-sized Sayulita. Browse the shops and enjoy the peaceful vibe and dine under the colorful flags.
Sunset is an important ritual in San Pancho. Locals and travelers alike pause their day to gather on the beach to watch the sun drop into the ocean. Their devotion to this spectacular event usually ends in joyous applause! We experienced this delightful ritual ourselves and it was truly heartwarming.
Ahhh - connecting to the rhythms of Nature feels so right.
About La Joya
La Joya is a brand new boutique hotel located 40 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta and is nestled between the vibrant green jungle, beautiful ocean, waterfalls, pristine beaches, ancient sanctuaries and quaint towns. Our ocean front property is awe inspiring and dreamy.
We personally scouted properties and chose La Joya just for YOU. It’s an upscale accommodation that is worthy of women who are ready to treat themselves and replenish.
Just imagine…
Arriving at this lush paradise, you’ll be warmly welcomed by Mexican hospitality. Feel the tension melt away as you take in the stunning ocean views, the tropical vegetation and the sound of the surf. Here there is no “To Do” list and you’ll have the space to simply BE. An immediate sense of calm and ease will fill your being.
Lounging by the salt pool and soaking up the warm Mexican sun will happen on the daily. You’ll delight in the short walk from your room to dip your toes in the ocean. In the early evening, you’ll sink into the salt water hot tub and bask in the rose gold light as the sun drops below the horizon.
You’ll be delighted with your bungalow which exudes elegant simplicity and comfort. You may want to take a siesta in your balcony hammock where you can also gaze at the ocean just a stone’s throw away. Your room is the perfect place to retreat and rejuvenate while you enjoy your time of rest, connection and growth.
Many things to look forward to:
-
Sipping a delicious green smoothie on the patio overlooking the sea

Journaling in the peaceful sanctuary of your room

I said “Hell YES to Me!” to a 5 day retreat of self-healing in Sayulita, Mexico and met 10 beautiful and inspiring women. They showed me that it’s ok to be vulnerable and speak my truth and let me listen to theirs.
I left feeling held, heard and excited for the future, armed with new tools to guide me.
I’m forever grateful to our fearless leaders Margaret and Page.

Retreat Leaders
WE ARE your hosts for this magical event and also long-time besties who are both known for being soulful, wise, fierce, fun and we love great hugs!
WE SUPPORT women to find their voice, power and clarity, to examine old patterns and create new value-based behaviors, to speak their truth and access their authentic inner wise woman - in sacred, safe, healing spaces together with other women.
WE BRING 25 years of commitment to our own self-awareness and growth. As experienced facilitators (Woman Within International) and certified CTI (Coaches Training Institute) coaches we passionately pass along what we've learned by guiding hundreds of women through their own journeys.
WE KNOW that when women gather with open hearts, curiosity, authenticity and intention, we can create lasting changes. Women create magic simply by showing up in their truth.
WE DESIGNED this transformational retreat for YOU as we’ve both been challenged by not Enoughness, inner critic BS, not putting ourselves first and the busyness trap. How amazing would it be to free yourself and commit to what you really want and crave?
WE BELIEVE in you having, being and creating a life that you truly love! Our commitment to transformation with humor and joy is what keeps us together and what sets us apart. This kind of connection is a rare gift from the Universe and we’re committed to sharing it with as many women as possible. Join us!
with love,
My deepest belief is that we are here to love and heal ourselves so we may help others to love and heal. At the tender age of 19, I attended my first transformational healing workshop. I knew I wanted to stop feeling depressed, hopeless and broken. With the support of intentional, loving, supportive wise women I began my journey to wholeness.
I’ve also struggled with my inner critics since my teenage years when I began telling myself I wasn’t good enough, smart enough, capable enough. Helping others transform their relationship with their inner critics has become my lifelong mission. Life is too damn short to not feel like enough!
As a busy mom of two teenagers, it’s very easy for me to put my needs dead last. I’m wired to do everything for others and never sit down or rest. I’ve learned over the years that doing my growth work, taking personal retreats and carving out time for self-care makes all the difference in how I show up as a mom, wife, business owner, leader and friend.
It’s my passion and mission to help women reclaim their power, their whole heart and their Enoughness.
About Margaret
My life has been an unfolding journey since my very first workshop (Woman Within) at age 25. A constant unfolding process. My passion and gift is holding space for people to be seen and heard – it’s absolutely what I am here to do!
For over 20 years I have been facilitating amazing transformational programs for several non-profit organizations. Now is my time to partner with Margaret and pour all of my life, skills and passion into a program of our own design. Woot!
I have been a woman who struggles with feeling enough – and it has kept me so freaking busy I can barely stand it. I often joked that my To Do List has its own To Do list which is cheeky and also truly exhausting. Perhaps I was trying to earn my inheritance, or prove my worth or I inherited a Puritan work ethic that constantly kicked my ass.
I knew that this was a pattern that only I could break - it was up to me. And it has been a process of evaluation, self love, choice and balancing priorities. What I know is that I am Enough and my worth comes from who I am rather than what I do. This has set me free. My deepest desire is for you to find and unlock your own truth so you can Thrive.
About Page
Judy
I was initially taken aback by the cost and I’m so glad I made this investment in myself. I was really blown away with the quality of every aspect of this experience. The food, lodging, retreat site, yoga, adventures and leadership made it worth every penny. I had some important A-ha's while having a wonderful time AND pampering myself. Highly Recommend! I can't wait to go back again.
Karla
This was the most important thing I have done for myself, and I will always be thankful for the time I spent with this amazing group of women. The morning yoga, the yummy meals, and the guidance provided by Margaret and Page were all wonderful. I came back feeling lighter, hopeful, accepted, seen, and heard.
I can't wait to experience it all over again next year.
Dani
Margaret and Page have provided such a safe space for women who were strangers to feel comfortable and vulnerable with new people. Their intuition and insights were so valuable to me and the whole group. I feel more empowered than I even knew I could be!
I have purpose, clarity and I’m ready to embrace the life that I want and deserve.
