Feminary founder, Joanne Frederick, is a human by birth and a therapist by training. She teaches meditation and yoga through a trauma-informed lens. While on a SHE RECOVERS® retreat with a group of fabulous women in Mexico in November 2022, she set an intention to create The Feminary®: a community for women recovering and practicing the art and science of mythical feminine connection. She is thrilled beyond words and deeply grateful for the opportunity to co-host these retreats with the co-founder of SHE RECOVERS®, Dawn Nickel.

I had the most wonderful time on this retreat hosted by Joanne. The villa is gorgeous and roomy, and came with a staff that was caring and hard working. There was just the right amount of downtime and scheduled activities to allow for group gatherings, and solo time. I Everything was well executed, with even the weather cooperating with us. I 100% plan on returning again....to spend 7 glorious days with like minded women...Why the heck wouldn't I?!?!?

I had an amazing time on my first Feminary retreat—it exceeded all of my expectations. The villa was stunning, the connections I made with other women were so nurturing for my soul and spirit, and the food was absolutely out of this world. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve already signed up for my next Feminary retreat!

Loved it!!! The leadership was professional, the attendees were lovable and fun, the food was deliciously healthy, the massages were superb, the location on the water is beautiful.
I plan on going back for my third experience next year.
