Imagine a region where red rock desert landscapes meet centuries-old adobe architecture, where sacred traditions blend with contemporary art, and where mountain air invites rest, reflection, and renewal.

Welcome to Santa Fe, a soulful high-desert destination that continues to draw travelers from around the world seeking culture, creativity, and calm. Cherish welcomes guests to this iconic Southwestern city with our expertise in hosting intentional group journeys and our trusted local partnerships with women and family-owned businesses.

Retreat Details

It’s time for executive women leaders to take the R&R they truly need. Rooted Radiance is a 4-day restorative professional retreat for women who are done dimming their light and are ready to reconnect with themselves, speak with confidence, and lead with clarity. 

This long weekend brings together an intentionally small and powerful group of executive women to build community and support. Each day blends yoga and reflection with powerful sessions on values, identity, personal presence, and authentic communication so you can move from self-doubt to self-trust, commanding any room you walk into.

Explore Santa Fe on curated group excursions and also during free time, or nourish yourself with quiet solo time to rest or take in a treatment at a local spa. You’ll leave rested, grounded, and clear; equipped with a set of personal values, a stronger professional identity, and communication tools to share your message with certainty and confidence without second-guessing or apology.

Your voice has the power to change your life. And yet, many women miss opportunities because they don’t speak up.

Karen Laos is a keynote speaker, executive advisor and TEDx coach, who transforms how executive women communicate in business. Fondly called The Confidence Cultivator, she has empowered professionals at NASA, Google, Facebook, Netflix, and Sephora.

Her mission: to silence self-doubt in 10 million women by giving them communication tools that drive tangible results in the boardroom and beyond, using her trademarked method, The Confidence Cocktail™. Karen's clients consistently report significant outcomes—securing promotions, winning negotiations, and attracting ideal clients.

Karen's unique approach to confidence cultivation began at age six when she successfully negotiated her first flea market purchase. Now, she’s a three-time bestselling author and podcast host in the top 3% globally (Ignite Your Confidence). Karen's books: Trust Your Own Voice: Growing Your Influence Through Confident Communication, Invisible No More: Stepping Into the Spotlight, and Unshakeable.

During the entire month of her 50th birthday, Karen fulfilled her lifelong dream of living in Manhattan.

You already contain everything you need to succeed; it’s time to uncover your inherent skills.
