The Story
In June 2024, I launched my first international retreat in Sayulita, Mexico , a dream years in the making. The response was immediate and affirming, and soon after, I began offering intimate, locally-based retreats to meet the growing desire for this kind of intentional space.
It began with a single-day gathering close to home, followed by a full weekend retreat in the mountains of Beaver Mines, and another rural day experience soon after. Each retreat has been a reflection of what I value most: presence, connection, and the quiet power of community.
In May 2025, I finally brought the Sayulita retreat to life. Held in a jungle sanctuary on the Pacific coast, it was everything I had envisioned a deeply immersive, heart-opening experience that grounded my commitment to this work even more fully.
My retreats are created to help you slow down and come back to yourself. They are not just getaways, they are spaces for healing, movement, stillness, laughter, and reconnection.
ALIGN & EMPOWER is the next evolution. This retreat was crafted with intention and heart, designed to support your joy, your strength, and your sacred remembering. From nourishing meals and embodied practices to sacred ceremony and quiet reflection, you’ll be held every step of the way.
I can’t wait to welcome you.
With love,
Lori
