There are two things that can kill you in the desert- drowning and dehydration. Life can be the same as the desert....sometimes you're drowning in everything from work to kids, the pressure to do and be it all and sometimes you're dehydrated and need more than what you're receiving.
This is the retreat to fill up your cup.
Immerse yourself in the mystical charm of Joshua Tree with our "Desert Goddess Retreat," a unique fusion of yoga, gastronomy, adventure, and sisterhood. This retreat signifies much more than relaxed holidays; it's a sacred journey of self-discovery and empowering feminine connection.
The retreat embodies a sense of community and interconnection, providing ample opportunities for you to engage and connect with other like-minded women. Deep, meaningful conversations around bonfires and under the starlit desert skies, coupled with laughter and shared wisdom, create a strong goddess circle promoting mutual growth, respect and understanding.
You don't have to be a serious yogi or have ever even owned a yoga mat to attend this retreat. We will feel the earthly connection and nourishment through mindful movement, channeling the strength and beauty of the goddess within.
You'll discover the grandeur of Joshua Tree on our guided hikes, as you traverse through its stark, yet fascinatingly beautiful terrain. Designed to connect you with nature, these hikes are a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
