Welcome to Joshua Tree, where wide-open skies, ancient boulders and the stillness of the Mojave Desert invite you to slow down, listen deeply and return to your wild nature.
Join Nikki and Kate for an intimate women’s retreat filled with Tantric Hatha Yoga, Meditation, Sound Healing, Voice Activation, Somatic Movement, Adventure, Rest and Deep Connection.
Unlike our past Rewild retreats at larger resorts, this experience will take place entirely on a private luxury property. No other retreats. No outside guests. No strangers passing through.
Just us.
Think elevated sleepover vibes: living together beneath one roof, sharing meals around the same table, staying up talking beneath the stars and having the space to truly get to know one another.
This is your invitation to take off the performative mask, and put on a hydrating facial sheet mask.
Authenticity is the vibe.
Our desert home, Gaia Villa, is nestled on 3.5 peaceful acres in the Mojave Desert, just 15 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park. The property features six bedrooms, a private indoor yoga studio, an outdoor yoga pavilion, a saltwater pool with a grotto waterfall, an oversized hot tub, two cold plunges, a walking labyrinth, expansive patios, a natural boulder fire pit and a rooftop deck overlooking the desert.
And we’ll have our own private chef with us throughout the retreat, preparing fresh, nourishing meals so you can let yourself be fully catered to.
No meal planning. No dishes. No taking care of everyone else.
This time, you get to receive.
Your mornings will begin with intentional movement and meditation practices led by Nikki. Throughout the retreat, Nikki and Kate will guide thoughtfully curated experiences that may include sound baths, dance, chanting, energy work, journaling, yin yoga, yoga nidra, walking meditation and meaningful connection with your soul sisters.
Your retreat also includes a special experience at a boutique horse ranch in California’s high desert. Each guest will choose between a sunset trail ride through the hills, ridges and open desert of Joshua Tree or a slower, more intimate Horse Hang at the ranch. During the Horse Hang, you’ll spend quality time with the horses while learning the basics of grooming, leading, feeding and caring for them.
Whether you choose to ride or remain grounded at the ranch, this experience is an invitation to slow down, become present and connect with the quiet rhythm of desert life. Horses have a beautiful way of bringing us out of our heads and back into our bodies, asking us to meet them with trust, awareness and authenticity.
We’ll also gather for a creative photoshoot with the horses, capturing a little of the beauty, freedom and wild cowgirl spirit of this unforgettable experience.
We’ll venture into Joshua Tree National Park to hike among its otherworldly rock formations and sacred desert landscape. We’ll move, explore, stargaze, eat beautiful food, rest by the pool, soak in the hot tub and gather around the fire.
With the new moon beginning toward the end of our stay, the night sky will be especially dark, allowing the stars above the desert to shine even more brilliantly.
There will be time for transformation, and there will be time for absolutely nothing.
Go on and wander outside in your robe.
Float in the pool.
Laugh until your belly hurts.
Have honest conversations.
Take a nap, read a book or receive a massage.
Sometimes all you need is to sit beneath the desert sky and remember how small your worries are and how vast your life can be.
“Rewilding means returning to a more wild or natural state. It is the process of undoing domestication and remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.”
This retreat is an invitation to become an Unrushed Woman. A woman that is fully expressed and comfortable in her skin. An opportunity to quiet the outside noise and come back into relationship with your body, your intuition, Mother Nature and the women beside you.
Welcome home, wild women.

During your retreat, you’ll have the option to add a private one-on-one somatic yoga and meditation session with Nikki.
Your session will begin with a gentle conversation about what you’re moving through and what you need most in that moment. From there, Nikki will guide you through a personalized restorative practice using the body as a gateway to healing.
Through gentle movement, meditation and breath, you’ll be invited to soften out of the thinking mind and reconnect with the wisdom of your body. Your experience may include consent-based hands-on adjustments, essential oils, Zenthai Shiatsu bodywork, energy work and loving space for whatever wants to arise.
You’ll end with a long, nourishing savasana that includes an Ayurvedic oil massage for the neck and head.
This is not a traditional massage or an intense yoga practice. It is your own private restorative experience, created to help you softly land back into your body, your breath, your energy and, ultimately, your wild woman spirit.
Come ready to receive, soften and melt.
