LUSH & UNTAMED:
A REWILDING RETREAT
December 7-12, 2025 | El Salvador | Pacific Ocean
Come home to yourself. Come home to your body. Come home to the wild, untamed essence that has always been yours.
Join us for six days of deep embodiment, connection, and sensual aliveness in a breathtaking retreat center on the Pacific coast of El Salvador—where the waves will serenade us, the ocean breeze will awaken us, and the land will hold us as we remember who we are.
This is not just a retreat—it’s a homecoming.
Through somatic movement, yoga, sound ceremony, sensual embodiment, poetry, writing, and deep nervous system work (Polyvagal Theory + Boundary Work + Attachment Styles), we will explore the landscapes of our bodies, our emotions, and our relationships.
We will move, laugh, write, feel, and expand—supported by nature, nourishing food, and a sisterhood of like-hearted women.
Who is this for?
This retreat is for women with a regular embodiment practice who are ready to go deeper into their feminine expression, nervous system healing, and authentic self-connection.
What’s Included:
✔️ Airport & Hotel Transfers: Transportation from the airport to the retreat center and back.
✔️ Luxury Accommodations: Choose from single, double, or triple occupancy rooms (first come, first serve—details below).
✔️ Organic, Nourishing Meals: Fresh, clean, and locally sourced meals designed to support your body and energy.
✔️ Curated Retreat Experience: A transformational blend of embodiment practices, somatic movement, yoga, writing, sensual movement, sound ceremony and deep nervous system healing.
✔️ Connection with Nature: Breathtaking ocean views, lush landscapes, and space to truly unwind and be present.
What’s Not Included:
❌ Airfare (However, with just a little over a 3-hour direct flight from Houston, Texas, travel is easy and accessible!)
This is more than a retreat—it’s an experience of embodiment, rewilding, and deep feminine liberation.
Spaces are limited. Are you ready?
