A Space to Embrace and Empower Yourself
Our retreats provide more than a tranquil setting—they create a sacred container for you to safely explore the untapped reservoirs of strength and courage within you. In the company of like-minded women, you’ll be uplifted, supported, and celebrated for the woman you already are and the woman you’re becoming.
Guidance from Marilyn
Through her wisdom and compassionate guidance, Marilyn will help you awaken parts of yourself you may have forgotten: the creative thinker, the dreamer, the warrior, and the nurturer. Her techniques inspire you to not only see your strengths but to use them to elevate your life and the lives of others.
Joining Marilyn This Year
We are honored to have Dawn Michaela join us again this year. She has graced the retreats with her Goddess energy and heart-felt desire to move each soul into alignment with their mind-body-soul connection with freeing music, techniques, and methods.
Dawn Michaela is a lifelong dancer, women's circle weaver, and ecstatic dance DJ whose work centers on using dance and song as powerful paths for healing, expression, reclaiming the body as a sacred vessel, and moving into deeper conscious connection with Divine Source. During the retreat, Dawn will lead a daily dance practice designed to activate the body-mind-soul connection, release stored emotion, explore your inner world, and open you up to receive more deeply. She will also be teaching some beautiful ceremony songs during the evening drum circle.
Jen Siquerios, The Gut Esthetician, will share: Radiant Reset. A guided self-touch facial ritual designed to help you soften stress from the jaw, temples, scalp, and neck—so your nervous system can exhale, and your skin can follow. We’ll move slowly, intentionally, and with consent-led touch to release tension, support circulation/lymph flow, and reconnect you to yourself. Leave feeling quieter inside… and visibly softer outside.
Hi, I’m Jennifer or Jen, an integrative esthetician and certified Functional Medicine Health Coach. My work is rooted in the belief that healthy, glowing skin is a reflection of what’s happening inside the body—and that healing the skin starts from within.
I take a whole-person approach to skincare, blending science, intuition, and hands-on techniques that support the nervous system, lymphatic flow, and gut health. I’m certified in Connective Tissue Massage, Buccal Massage, Facial Fascia, Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and Facial Reflexology. Each of these therapies helps me tune into the body and support the skin in a way that goes beyond surface-level results.
To me, skincare is not just about products (although healthy products aid in results) or protocols—it’s about connection. Everything in the body is linked, and when we treat the skin through the lens of deeper systems like the GI tract or the nervous system, the results aren’t just visible—they’re lasting.
I’m here to create space for you to slow down, reconnect, and support your skin’s natural healing ability. Because when we care for the body as a whole, the skin responds in beautiful, powerful ways
Desiree Lefever is a Pure Soul and Amazing Healer who is Certified in Breathwork and Reiki. She draws on her ancient wisdom of healing and energy work to help her clients. We are so excited to have her join us at this year's retreat as she leads us through a freeing, clearing, and enriching breathwork session. From Desiree- "When I was young, my parents hosted a Reiki circle in our home. I didn’t really understand what Reiki was or why all these people had gathered, other than my father’s explanation that he could heal people by placing his hands on them. For a child who interacted with ghosts, this seemed reasonable. At the end of their gathering, as all the adults stood in a circle holding hands, they invited my sisters and me to join them. I will never forget the incredible sensation of feeling the energy as it flowed through my body as I held their hands, waking something within me, and my love of energy work began.I have been blessed to be trained by several teachers and mentors over the years as I have lived my life, gathering a multitude of lessons and experiences along the way. And the energy keeps calling me back. After many years in corporate sales, 12 years ago, I decided to step away from that world and became a massage therapist and Reiki practitioner, specializing in Mayan abdominal massage. Since then, I have deepened my energy work, trained my intuitive healing skills with amazing teachers like Marilyn Lawrence and Zoey Greco, and have recently become certified in trauma-informed somatic breathwork. The power and beautiful transformation that I have seen in my clients as I blend all these skills together (with a little magic) to serve them has blown me away, and I am excited to continue to learn and grow as a practitioner, guiding people toward their most soul-aligned lives and raising the frequency of our world and beyond. When I’m not working, you can find me in my garden, playing with my two incredible children, buying too many books, and exploring the world."
