About your trip

5 days and 4 nights on Miracle Hill at Azure Palm Hot Springs Resort and Day Spa Oasis in Desert Hot Springs, CA. 


Daily asana, meditation, and immersive sound experiences unfold in an atmosphere of quiet luxury— woven seamlessly with deep rest, hydrotherapy, and elemental renewal.

Slip into mineral-rich waters. Purify in salt.
Awaken the senses with ice.

A curated ritual of elementsearth, water, air, and fire— set against the serene beauty of the desert and held by the stillness of the surrounding mountains.

Here, time softens.
The body unwinds.
The mind grows spacious.

Bathe in the nectar of life, as hummingbirds pass through like gentle reminders
of sweetness, presence, and the quiet richness of being.

All the miracles.
All the rest.

This is a return to connection
to self, to one another, and to the subtle field that unites all things.


An invitation to explore inner landscapes, refine awareness, and rest deeply in what is.

And woven throughout it all— ample, unhurried time to indulge in stillness, to restore, to wander,
and to fully receive the gift of simply being.

Meet Your Retreat Guides!

Stephanie and Sara first recognized one another in 2014—not as strangers, but as souls remembering across time—when their paths converged in the temple of practice at Three Trees Yoga Teacher Training. What began as study revealed itself as something far older. A remembrance. A reunion. A quiet knowing that the work they were devoted to was shared.

Since that moment, their paths have braided like sacred threads—through devotion and discipline, through ritual and reverence, through laughter that dissolves illusion and the kind of inquiry that opens portals. Initiated together into the Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki lineage, they have walked the spiral path side by side—students and teachers, mirrors and catalysts—refining their service in devotion to something greater than themselves.

Stephanie, founder of Ananda Industries, walks as a keeper of bhakti—a priestess of presence, devotion, and embodied joy. As an ERYT 200, RYT 500, YACEP yoga teacher, Sound Practitioner, Reiki Practitioner, and retreat weaver, she creates sanctuaries where the sacred is not separate from the sensual, where pleasure becomes prayer, and where rest is reclaimed as a radical act of liberation. Her work is a softening into truth—where ancient yogic philosophy is infused with the medicine of sound, and the nervous system is gently guided back into harmony, safety, and sweetness.

Sara, founder of Sonic Sorceress, moves as an alchemist of frequency—a weaver of sound, ritual, and the unseen ethers. As an ERYT 500, YACEP yoga teacher, Alchemical Sound Practitioner, Reiki practitioner, and ceremonial architect, she crafts immersive portals that recalibrate the energetic body and open gateways of transformation. With roots in music production, and large-scale event alchemy, her work bridges worlds—where vibration becomes language, rhythm becomes remembrance, and sound becomes a living intelligence that speaks directly to the soul.

Together, they are architects of sacred space—co-creating trauma-aware temples of practice where all of you is welcome. These are not retreats as escape, but as return.

Return to the body as sanctuary.
Return to the heart as oracle.
Return to community as medicine.

Within their containers, grief is given space to breathe, rage is honored as holy fire, joy is cultivated as a birthright, and softness is reclaimed as strength. Their retreats are living altars—woven with yoga, sound ceremony, Reiki held at the hearthstone, ritual technologies, energetic protection, vagal toning, hydrotherapy, and the slow, sacred re-patterning of safety in the presence of others.

You are invited into
Mojave Magic Retreat: Sparkle Edition
a pilgrimage of remembrance.

A threshold crossing.
A soft unraveling.
A return to the ancient rhythm that has always lived within you.

Here, you are held by the desert—vast and witnessing, elemental and wise.
Here, you are invited to lay your burdens down into the mineral-rich memory of the earth… to let the salt take what you no longer need to carry.

To be seen.
To be softened.
To be restored.

To remember that you were never meant to walk this path alone.

Come sit in the circle.
Come sing with the stones.
Come be witnessed by firelight and starlight alike.

Come be met—exactly as you are—
in the sacred unfolding of your becoming.

What to Expect:

Fly into the cute international airport in Palm Springs. 


Walk off your plane to the open air setting as you instantly feel the stress begin to melt away. 

The green, lush and beautiful Azure Palm Hot Springs Resort and Day Spa Oasis will greet you with an expansive lobby that opens into a courtyard complete with fire pits and overlooking the olympic sized mineral pool and manicured palms, paths and desert oasis. 


Begin your retreat by soaking in the healing mineral water on Miracle Hill. 

Wander the grounds and explore the reflexology walk, saunas, salt room and ice room.


All practices are beginner friendly, modifiable and optional to attend.

**All classes must be attended as an RYT to be issued a certificate due to YA rules.**


Each day you will awaken refreshed and surrounded by palm trees, friends and peace. 

Optional add on spa experiences will have you melting while the daily practices of meditation, yoga and ritual will open, revive and relax body, mind and spirit. Personally tailored to include as much rejuvenation as possible in 5 days. 

This resort is something unique and special. JUST LIKE YOU. 


Join us as we embark on a journey into our hearts so that we may better know our body and spirit as we rejuvenate, relax and restore in the Magic of the Mojave and the mineral waters therein.

We are appreciative AND understanding while still running businesses. 

Both Ananda Industries and Full Spectrum Retreats are neurodivergent womxn owned. 

We believe that we heal ourselves to heal the world and we believe that EVERYONE deserves access to these practices. As such we each offer multiple events yearly that are donation based or for 501c3 organizations often with a focus on LGBTQ2SIA+ charities. We say this not for kudos but to convey that we are doing what we can to bring healing to ALL PEOPLE while working within a capitalist and patriarchal system. 


This resort is 17+ and a spa environment. Shhhhhh vibes around the pool and soaking tubs and on the grounds.

Gentle Yoga: Restorative, Yin & Strength

Our retreat offers a nourishing blend of gentle yoga, restorative postures, and yin-inspired stillness to invite deep relaxation, balance, and renewal. Through mindful movement, we will soften tension, release energetic blockages, and create space for the body to unwind at its own pace. 


Restorative yoga will guide you into fully supported postures, allowing the nervous system to shift into a state of rest and healing. 


Yin yoga will take us deeper, with longer-held poses that encourage flexibility and the potential release of stored emotions held within our fascia. 


We will also explore more gentle standing Hatha postures that support balance, stability, and strength, helping to cultivate both resilience and ease in body and mind and accessible flow and stability/mobility work.


Each session is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the present moment with intention and grace.

Classes may shift as the group dynamic arrives and surfaces. Steph and Sara listen to the energy of the group and adapt as needed.

Sound Healing

Sound Healing deeply immersive, full body, listening experience that uses sound to invite therapeutic & restorative effects to the mind & body.


Sound Healing is a therapeutic practice that uses sound waves to improve physical, emotional, and mental health. The practice involves using various instruments, such as tuning forks, gongs, singing bowls, and even the human voice, to create sound vibrations. These vibrations are believed to affect the body's energy fields, often referred to as the "aura" or "biofield," as well as the nervous system, which can lead to healing and relaxation.  


Sound healing has its roots in ancient cultures, including Tibetan, Native American, and Aboriginal traditions, where it was used for meditation, spiritual rituals, and healing practices. In modern times, sound healing is often integrated into holistic and alternative medicine, yoga, meditation, and wellness retreats. 


Scientific Benefits of Sound Healing  


While sound healing has long been a part of traditional practices, modern science is beginning to explore and validate some of its benefits. Here are some scientifically supported benefits:  


1. *Reduction in Stress and Anxiety:*    

- *Cortisol Reduction:* Studies have shown that certain types of music and sound therapy can lower cortisol levels, the body's primary stress hormone. This leads to a reduction in stress and anxiety.    

- *Autonomic Nervous System Regulation:* Sound healing can influence the autonomic nervous system, promoting relaxation by shifting from the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state.  


2. *Pain Relief:*    

- *Frequency-Specific Microcurrent Therapy:* Some studies have shown that sound therapy, particularly frequency-specific microcurrent therapy, can help reduce pain by stimulating cellular repair and reducing inflammation.    

- *Analgesic Effect:* Sound vibrations can stimulate the brain's production of endorphins, natural painkillers that can help reduce chronic pain and discomfort.  


3. *Enhanced Mood and Emotional Health:*    

- *Music Therapy:* Research indicates that sound therapy, especially music therapy, can help improve mood and emotional well-being by releasing dopamine, the brain's "feel-good" neurotransmitter.    

- *Depression and Anxiety Treatment:* Clinical studies have shown that sound therapy can be an effective complementary treatment for depression and anxiety, helping to alleviate symptoms and improve overall quality of life.  


4. *Improved Sleep:*    

- *Theta and Delta Brainwaves:* Certain sound frequencies, such as those in the theta (4-7 Hz) and delta (0.5-4 Hz) ranges, are associated with deep relaxation and sleep. Sound healing practices like binaural beats can help induce these brainwave states, improving sleep quality.    

- *Insomnia Reduction:* Regular exposure to calming sound frequencies has been shown to help reduce insomnia and improve sleep patterns.  


5. *Cognitive and Mental Clarity:*    

- *Increased Focus and Concentration:* Sound therapy can help improve cognitive function by increasing alpha brainwave activity, which is associated with a state of relaxed alertness.    

- *Memory Enhancement:* Some studies suggest that sound therapy can enhance memory and learning by promoting neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections.  


6. *Physical Healing and Immune System Support:*    

- *Vibrational Healing:* Sound waves can penetrate the body at a cellular level, potentially aiding in the repair and regeneration of tissues. This is sometimes referred to as "vibrational medicine."    

- *Immune System Boost:* Sound therapy has been shown to reduce stress and promote relaxation, which in turn can boost the immune system and enhance the body's natural healing processes. 


Sound healing offers a wide range of benefits, both scientifically and anecdotally supported. While more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms, the growing body of evidence suggests that sound therapy can be a powerful tool for promoting physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Whether used as a standalone therapy or in conjunction with other treatments, sound healing has the potential to improve quality of life for many individuals.

Yoga Nidra "Yogic Sleep"

Yoga Nidra invites you into profound, effortless restoration, a guided journey into the threshold between waking and sleep.

Here, the body releases into complete relaxation while the mind drifts into spacious awareness,
allowing deep healing and integration to unfold naturally.

Often called “yogic sleep,” this practice nourishes the nervous system, restores energetic balance, and opens a subtle doorway into inner clarity and peace. A guided meditation and awareness practice that is rooted in Sankalpa practices, essentially a deep intention setting.

It is an experience of being held, beyond doing, beyond striving, in a field of deep, replenishing stillness.

Meditation & Mindfulness

In our time together, we will explore the power of presence through meditation and mindfulness practices designed to bring clarity, balance, and inner peace. 


Whether you are new to meditation or deepening an existing practice, you will be guided through breath awareness, body scans, and visualization techniques to help quiet the mind and awaken a sense of deep connection. 


Mindfulness will be woven throughout our retreat experience, encouraging you to slow down, tune in, and fully embrace each moment with openness and appreciation. 

These practices will support you in cultivating a grounded, centered state—both during our retreat and beyond.

DAY 2 TUESDAY

DAY 2 TUESDAY image

January 19 — The Slow Glow

Alchemy in the in-between.
Old layers loosen, stories surface, and transformation begins its sacred work. Sound and stillness tend the inner fire, while water holds the process of release and renewal.

Morning Class at 9 AM. Come dressed in attire that invites movement, and bring your journal, as we embrace the flow of energy, your sparkle and the magnificence of YOU. This morning's class will be a sacred blend of active and passive practices taught by Stephanie, as we dance with the lunar and solar energies within us, awakening our inner radiance.


Free Time for Sacred Self-Care
After our class, you will have the day to honor your own rhythm and desires. Whether you choose to soak in the waters, bask in the sauna, lounge in the sun or shade, or simply surrender to the peace around you, this time is yours to fully be.


Community Dinner
At 5 PM, we will gather once more in the cafe to nourish our bodies and hearts with a delicious and wholesome meal. From morning class to evening dinner, the day is yours to design, creating space for deep reflection, connection, and renewal.


Yogic Sleep & Sound
After dinner, we have a truly special treat for you. Yoga Nidra is a return to the inner temple—a practice of deep, devotional rest where the body is cradled and the spirit gently awakens. As you are guided into a state between worlds,
the layers of holding begin to melt, and the waters within you grow still and clear.

In this sacred pause, you reconnect with your essence—soft, whole, and unhurried— remembering the quiet wisdom of the Goddess within.

This is rest as ritual.
Stillness as medicine.

Group Float & Soak

After the gentle rest, head back to your room for a costume change. We'll come together to float & soak & sauna under the waxing moon. The stars here remind us of our magnificence and we cannot wait to share this sacred time with you.

Day 3 WEDSNESDAY

Day 3 WEDSNESDAY image

January 20 — Embers of Becoming

Be the Star

8:30 AM Class

As morning light spills across the desert, we gather in the quiet glow of becoming. The Moon rests in Taurus, grounding us in the body—steady, sensual, and deeply present—while the Sun stands at the threshold of Aquarius, stirring the first currents of awakening and change.

Between earth and electricity, you are invited to remember your radiance.

This practice is a slow, intentional ignition. We begin close to the ground, awakening the body through fluid, nourishing movement—breath-led, spacious, and attuned. Strength rises from softness. Stability from deep listening.

Taurus teaches us to feel—to savor sensation, to root into the physical form as a sacred vessel of expression. And as Aquarian energy begins to hum at the edges, there is an invitation to gently expand beyond old patterns… to move in ways that feel liberating, intuitive, and true.

Music threads through the practice like starlight, guiding you inward, while the echo of water in the body invites ease, flow, and quiet release.

This is not about reaching—
it is about revealing.

Not about becoming something new,
but remembering what has always been luminous within you.

Come soften.
Come rise.

Optional excursion to Joshua Tree or Palm Desert for Thai Massage, a Float or some shopping. Carpool or the ability to drive your own vehicle is required for excursions.


Sacred Free Time
The day is yours to design. You are free to lounge, soak, laugh, read, head to JTree or Palm Desert—sacred moments of reflection and play to deepen your connection with your inner goddess. Allow yourself to be held in this space of grace, letting the world fade away and embracing the present moment fully.


Community Dinner
At 5 PM, we will gather once more for a nourishing dinner at Azure to break bread as a group.

Evening Restoration

From 7:30 - 9 PM, we will embark on an evening of Restorative Yoga. Allow yourself to float and soar in this divine experience, as Steph and Sara guide you through a gentle, transformative journey with the yoga of naps—held in the arms of stillness, warmth & love. With an ocean drum aura wash to close the practice and shanti chimes to gently wake you up feeling lighter and more grounded and ready for hydro therapy.

Evening Soak & Star Gazing

Drift back to your room to change into your suit to join the group for a soak in the olympic sized mineral pool under the light of the stars and the approaching full moon thursday/friday. We'll hopefully have views of constellations and the Milky Way as we float and soak.

Day 4 THURSDAY

January 21 — Luminous Radiance (Full Moon)

Soak It All In
The heart shines.
Under the Full Moon’s glow, all that has been softened and revealed comes into light. This is a day of expression, reflection, and embodied brilliance—where your essence is witnessed in its fullness.


Morning Class and Movement
We come together at 8:30 AM, with a class designed to open and align. A special cacao circle moves us into our hearts. Our practice will blend dance and free form flow, inviting the body to release and the mind to be present. Whether you choose to start your day with a soak in the healing waters or rise slowly with the sun, the morning is yours to create. Trust in the rhythm of your own spirit as you move, breathe, and flow in alignment with the energy of the divine.


Sacred Free Time
After class, you will have the entire day to explore in your own unique way. Soak in the waters once more, reflect in your journal, rest in the shade (or fingers crossed SUN), or take in the beauty of nature that surrounds you. This is a time for integration—allow the experiences of the retreat to settle into your being and honor the quiet space of stillness and presence. You may also wish to schedule one final spa session to deepen your self-care as you prepare to carry this energy into the world beyond.


Community Dinner
At 5 PM, we will gather once more for a nourishing dinner at Azure , sharing food, laughter, and connection as we celebrate the bonds we’ve created.

Evening Immersion: Halo Salt Ritual & Full Moon Soak

7:15–8:00 PM & 8:05–8:50 PM (two intimate circles)
Followed by a communal mineral soak beneath the Full Moon

On the final night of our gathering, we cross a luminous threshold—held beneath the radiance of the Full Moon in Leo, as the Sun moves through Aquarius. A cosmic axis of heart and vision, self and collective, asks us to soften into both our sovereignty and our belonging.

We begin in the warmth of the heated halo salt sanctuary, where the air itself becomes medicine. Mineral-rich, softly glowing, and deeply purifying, this space invites your body to exhale what it has been carrying. Breath deepens. Skin tingles. The subtle body opens.

Here, the salt holds you—drawing out what is ready to be released, clearing the energetic pathways, and restoring a quiet clarity within. The Leo Moon illuminates the heart, inviting expression, truth, and gentle courage, while Aquarius whispers of liberation—of shedding old skins and stepping into a more authentic rhythm of being.

You are not asked to do.
Only to receive.
To be bathed in warmth, in light, in unseen restoration.

After, we gather as one body beneath the night sky, entering the mineral waters together. The Full Moon reflects across the surface, a mirror of all that has been witnessed, felt, and transformed.

This final immersion is a remembering—
of your radiance,
your tenderness,
your belonging to both earth and cosmos.

Come soak in the glow of all that you are becoming.


Day 5 FRIDAY

Day 5 FRIDAY  image

January 22 — Integration: The Lasting Glow

A return, forever changed.
We gather the gold. The nervous system settles into its new rhythm, and the glow becomes something you carry—steady, grounded, and quietly radiant as you step back into the world.


Final Class & Closing Circle
Our last gathering will be from 8 AM to 9:30 AM, a gentle, heartfelt class to honor and integrate all that we’ve experienced. Together, we’ll offer gratitude for our time here, reflect on the transformations we’ve embraced, and carry this energy forward into our lives. This is a time to release any lingering intentions and celebrate the journey of becoming the fullest version of YOU.

Happy full wolf moon.


Check-out & Farewell
Check-out is at 11 AM, but the retreat doesn’t have to end just yet. If your flight departs later in the day, you can remain at the resort and continue soaking in the beauty of this sacred space and Miracle Hill Waters after check. Lockers are available for purchase and the locker room is free to use. Whether you spend your remaining hours in peaceful solitude or sharing a quiet moment with your newfound sisters, know that you carry the divine essence of this retreat with you always. There are also multiple local hikes and options to commune with nature before you head back home.


Until We Meet Again
As we part ways, know that this is not a goodbye—it is simply a pause, a moment until we meet again. May the peace, love, and wisdom of this time continue to guide and inspire you as you walk your unique path. With deep gratitude, we send you off with hearts full of connection, knowing our spirits will always be intertwined.
