A self-love retreat for slowing down, receiving fully, and reconnecting with the person you spend your whole life with: you.

Over Valentine’s week, we’re returning to the colorful surf town of Sayulita, Mexico for the fourth time as a community to create space to be deeply cared for, move in ways that feel good, connect meaningfully, and remember how worthy you already are of a life that feels beautiful.

The Love Within Retreat is a five-night invitation to slow down, receive deeply, and experience what it feels like to be fully cared for. An Embodiment of Self-Love + Worthiness.

Imagine five days where every detail is thoughtfully taken care of so that you can nourish the most tender corners of your heart. 

You wake up to the sound of the Pacific, sip fresh coffee with your journal overlooking the ocean, and move your body beneath the warm morning sun.

Your meals are lovingly prepared.
Your days are beautifully planned.
Your body gets to move in ways that feel good.
Your nervous system has space to soften.
Your conversations move beyond the surface.
And the voice inside your head begins to sound more like someone who truly loves you.

Spend your afternoons surfing warm waves, wandering through town, relaxing beside the infinity pool, or laughing with new friends over tacos.

Come back to yourself through Kundalini Yoga, sound healing, yoga nidra, reflective workshops, somatic movement, intentional breath, functional strength, embodied release, connecting with like minded people + all the unplanned moments in between.

Be surrounded by people who are also ready to slow down, open up, and choose themselves. You don’t need to plan a thing. You just have to say yes. We’ll take care of the rest.

✔️ Daily Kundalini yoga, meditation and breathwork with Greta to help you reconnect to your heart with compassion

✔️ Somatic movement with Emily to release what your body has been carrying and build a more trusting relationship with yourself

✔️ Sound healing and yoga nidra with Rosie to support deep rest, nervous system regulation & let go of deep subconscious blockages

✔️ Reflective workshops with Greta designed to cultivate self-compassion, shift your inner dialogue, and reconnect you with what makes you feel alive

✔️ A stunning private villa overlooking the Pacific, with an infinity pool, spacious gathering areas, and plenty of beautiful corners to rest, journal, connect, or simply take in the view

✔️ Nourishing, chef-prepared meals made with fresh local ingredients

✔️ Spacious time to swim, nap, read, journal, explore town, book a massage, or simply be

✔️ Connected conversations and community with open-hearted humans who are ready for something deeper… & explore!

✔️ Playful adventures through Sayulita’s beaches, jungle, food, culture, and colorful streets

✔️ The rare experience of being fully supported without having to organize, decide, or care for anyone else

You’ll leave feeling rested in your body, gentler with yourself, more connected to what you need, and inspired by the life waiting for you at home.

A 5-night, all-genders retreat in the vibrant beach town of Sayulita, Mexico designed to help you reconnect with the most important relationship you'll ever have… The relationship with yourself.

So many of us spend our lives pouring into everyone else while quietly abandoning ourselves. We become our own biggest critic, constantly striving, overthinking and wondering why we never quite feel like enough.

Maybe you've spent years trying to love yourself more, but no matter how much personal development you've done, you still find yourself caught in old patterns of self-doubt, people pleasing, perfectionism or self-judgment.

If that's you, we want you to know you're not alone.

Love Within is an invitation to slow down, soften and finally give yourself the love, compassion and acceptance you've been searching for.

Throughout the week, we'll explore what it truly means to honor yourself, not just through positive thinking, but through deep healing, self-awareness and intentional practice.

Together we'll use Kundalini Yoga, meditation, breathwork, somatic movement, journaling, transformational workshops, shadow work, meaningful ceremony and subconscious reprogramming to gently release the beliefs and patterns that have kept you disconnected from yourself.

You'll learn how to quiet your inner critic, meet your shadow with compassion and build a relationship with yourself that feels safe, loving and deeply supportive. Because when you truly love yourself, you stop chasing your worth. You trust yourself more deeply. You create healthier relationships. You make decisions from self-respect instead of fear. You begin living from your highest self instead of your survival self.

And while the inner work is profound, there will also be plenty of space simply to enjoy being alive. Imagine slow mornings overlooking the ocean, nourishing meals shared around the table, colorful streets filled with art and music, barefoot sunset walks on the beach, afternoons spent surfing or relaxing by the pool and meaningful conversations that remind you you're never as alone as you think you are.

You’ll experience a perfect balance of guided experiences and free time, allowing you to dive deep into self-exploration while also unwinding by the ocean, wandering colorful streets, or even trying a surf lesson.

Come as you are, and leave feeling lighter, freer, and more connected than ever before.

Sayulita, Mexico, is a bohemian paradise known for its vibrant energy, stunning beaches, and laid-back surf culture. Often called the “Bali of Mexico,” Sayulita is a wellness and spiritual hotspot—offering the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and transformation. Not to mention it is our favorite location we've ever hosted a retreat & we are beyond thrilled to go back to our tropical home away from home for the fourth time! There is no where in the world quite like Sayulita & we cannot wait to share it with you. 

Our retreat villa is a gorgeous luxury villa just minutes from the beach , tucked away perched on top of hill with expansive ocean front views while still close to the heart of Sayulita’s colorful streets, artisan markets, and vibrant restaurants. This dreamy location allows you to immerse yourself in Mexico’s rich culture and breathtaking natural beauty.

✨Wake up to ocean breezes and the sound of waves in a beautifully designed space

✨Enjoy luxurious accommodations with air-conditioning, comfortable linens, and en-suite bathrooms

Whether you’re craving complete privacy, a shared experience with a friend, or a budget-friendly option, we have a variety of room choices to fit your needs.

🌟 Private rooms are very limited—reserve yours ASAP if you want your own space! 

This retreat is for the soul seekers, the adventurers, the ones ready to press pause on the noise of daily life and truly reconnect with themselves.

You’re craving more than just a vacation— you’re looking for a transformative experience. You want to release heavy energy, shed outdated beliefs, and step into a version of yourself that feels lighter, freer, and more aligned.

You’re open-minded, big-hearted, and curious, drawn to personal growth, spirituality, and deep conversations that spark new perspectives. You’re eager to explore, connect with like-minded souls, and immerse yourself in an experience that nourishes your mind, body, and spirit.

This retreat is for you if you’re longing to:
✔️ Step away from your responsibilities and let someone else take care of the details

✔️ Rest without feeling like you need to earn it

✔️ Shift a harsh or critical inner dialogue into one that feels more empathetic and supportive

✔️ Reconnect with your body through movement that feels intuitive, energizing, and good

✔️ Build a more loving relationship with who you are right now—not only who you’re becoming

✔️ Meet open-hearted people who value personal growth, community, and honest conversation

✔️ Feel playful, adventurous, and inspired again

✔️ Experience the magic of Sayulita through surfing, food, nature, culture, and connection

✔️ Return home with practices that help you continue choosing yourself in everyday life

This experience is open to all genders, backgrounds, and levels of experience. You don’t need to practice yoga regularly, consider yourself spiritual, or even arrive feeling completely confident. Simply come with an open heart, a kind spirit, and a willingness to meet yourself where you are.

The relationship you have with yourself becomes the foundation for everything else. Again and again, people in our community have asked us for a retreat centered around self-love.

The kind that's rooted in love, compassion, and self-trust, so that life starts to feel different. You make decisions with more confidence. You stop looking outside yourself for proof that you’re enough. You become someone you can truly rely on.

After hosting retreats around the world, one theme keeps coming up again and again: People want to learn how to truly love themselves.

Not just through affirmations or positive thinking, but in a deeper, embodied way that changes how they speak to themselves, care for themselves, and move through life.

That’s the intention behind The Love Within. Together, we’ll create space for every part of you to be welcome— the confident parts, the messy parts, the joyful parts, and the parts you may have been judging, hiding, or trying to fix.

We’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and inner dialogue shaping the way you see yourself, and practice meeting them with more curiosity and compassion. Through reflection, movement, nervous system work, and meaningful connection, you’ll begin strengthening your self-trust and learning how to become your own safe place.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and more connected to who you are. More able to speak to yourself kindly, trust what you need, and return to yourself with love when life feels hard.

Because when you truly have your own back, everything changes.

Now living nomadically, she sees the world as her classroom… learning through new cultures, local traditions, shared meals, unexpected adventures, and witnessing the many different ways people choose to live.

She brings warmth and intention to the little details that help people feel safe, supported, and able to fully exhale—which is why everyone lovingly calls her the “retreat mom.”

Rosie’s love for travel, surfing, food, culture, and human connection inspires the playful, adventurous spirit of every Radiance Retreat. She believes the most meaningful trips don’t help you escape your life, instead they remind you how good it feels to be fully alive within it.

KUNDALINI YOGA & BREATHWORK

Greta will guide you through Kundalini yoga, meditation, mantra, and breathwork designed to shift your energy, quiet the noise, and reconnect you with your inner wisdom.

These practices invite you to move beyond the patterns, beliefs, and inner stories that keep you feeling disconnected from yourself.

You’ll build energy, strengthen self-trust, and create space for a more loving, expansive relationship with who you are and the life you’re creating. No Kundalini experience is needed.

SOUND HEALING

Rosie’s crystalline sound baths create space for your body and mind to soften.

As the vibrations of the bowls move through the space, you’ll be invited to lie back, receive, and release the need to do anything at all.

Sound healing can support deep relaxation, presence, emotional integration, and a nervous system that finally feels safe enough to exhale.

EMPOWERED MOVEMENT

Empowered Movement is a creative, energizing interval-based class designed to leave you feeling lighter in your mind, body, and spirit.

Set to a dynamic playlist, the experience combines functional strength, cardio, yoga and Pilates-inspired movement, somatic release, and intentional breathing.

Rather than asking you to keep up or perform, Emily will guide you inward so you can notice how you feel and choose the pace that supports you that day.

You can expect to feel challenged, encouraged, and more connected to the strength already within you. All levels are welcome.

JOURNALING & SELF-REFLECTION

Throughout the retreat, you’ll be guided through thoughtful journaling prompts and reflective practices designed to help you hear your own voice more clearly.

We’ll explore the way you speak to yourself, the care you allow yourself to receive, the expectations you’ve been carrying, and what it might feel like to move through life with more tenderness, trust, and gratitude.

COMMUNITY CONNECTION

Some of the most meaningful retreat moments happen when someone shares something you thought only you were experiencing.

Through connection circles, family-style meals, shared adventures, and conversations that naturally move beyond the surface, you’ll have space to be seen, supported, and celebrated exactly as you are.

TRANSFORMATIONAL WORKSHOPS

Our guided workshops will take self-love beyond an idea and help you explore how it shows up in your daily life.

Together, we’ll look at your inner dialogue, limiting beliefs, boundaries, needs, desires, and the ways you can create a more supportive relationship with yourself.

You’ll leave with practical tools to continue choosing compassion, care, and self-trust long after the retreat ends.

STRETCH & SOMATIC RELEASE

This gentle morning class invites you to open your body, release what has been held, and begin the day feeling present and at ease.

Through slow stretching, intuitive movement, somatic release, and mindful breathwork, you’ll create space in your body while building a more compassionate relationship with it.

A soft but powerful way to meet yourself at the beginning of a new day.

REST, PLAY & INTEGRATION

The practices don’t only happen on the yoga mat. They happen while you’re floating in the pool, trying something new, eating tacos in the sunshine, dancing without overthinking it, learning to surf with our amazing local instructors, or laughing with someone who was a stranger a few days earlier.

There will be plenty of space to rest, explore, journal, swim, nap, book a massage, wander through Sayulita, or simply enjoy having nowhere else to be.

Self-love isn’t only about the inner work… it’s also allowing yourself to actually enjoy your beautiful life.

After traveling the world and experiencing countless retreats, we felt a deep pull to create something different— something truly transformative. We wanted to bring together all the practices that have changed our lives into one powerful, soul-nourishing experience— and share it with you.

This retreat was born from the belief that true transformation happens when you step away from the noise, immerse yourself in nature, and give yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and just be.

We’ve woven together the most powerful elements for deep healing and expansion:
✨ Kundalini Yoga and Empowered Movement classes  to reconnect with your body, awaken your energy and release what you've been carrying.

✨ Meditation, breathwork and sound healing to calm your nervous system and create space for clarity, peace and self-compassion.

✨ Transformational workshops, shadow work and journaling to help you understand yourself more deeply, quiet your inner critic and rewrite the stories that no longer serve you.

✨ Time in nature to slow down, reflect and reconnect with what truly matters.

✨ Nourishing meals, meaningful conversations and a supportive community that reminds you you're never meant to do life alone.

This retreat is  about coming home to yourself. Our greatest hope is that you leave Sayulita with more than beautiful memories. We hope you leave with a softer heart, quieter mind, deeper trust in yourself, and a relationship with yourself that feels rooted in love, compassion and acceptance.
