Reignite Retreat

February 6-11, 2026 | El Pescadero, Baja Mexico

You’ve spent years crushing it in your career, showing up for your family, checking all the boxes… but when was the last time you did something just for you? Something that wasn’t about proving, achieving, or handling all the things?

Ready to reignite your adventurous spirit? Join us in Baja Mexico for a chance to adventure, dream, explore, and reset with other like-minded women just like you.

Remember when adventure and movement were just part of who you were?

You’ve always loved being active, but somewhere along the way, life got in the way.

You’re not alone. Many women find themselves caught in the busyness of life and neglecting their own passions for getting outdoors, reconnecting with themselves and finding that restorative place in nature.

If the thought of stepping away from your responsibilities—even for a few days—feels a little selfish, this retreat is exactly what you need.

✨ You’ve been busy taking care of everything and everyone else, and now you’re ready to carve out space for yourself.
✨ You miss the feeling of freedom and adventure, but you’re not sure where to start.
✨ You want to move your body, breathe fresh air, and feel strong, confident, and energized again.
✨ You love the idea of a women’s retreat but wonder if you’re “ready” for something like this. (You are!)
✨ You crave an adventure with like-minded women, where you can move out of your comfort zone, work on your personal growth, and invest in your own health and well-being.
✨ You want a break from the daily routine, to reset and refocus on your goals.

If this resonates, our retreats are designed to be a judgment-free, supportive space where you can rediscover your joy for movement, nature, and community. 🌿

Read what past retreat participants have to say!

“Truly disconnecting - stayed away from social media, did not think of work and had a very supportive husband who was ok with just a couple of short calls. It gave me space to be more present to learn, meet new friends and truly enjoy myself.” - Bethany

“Overall, I loved this retreat. It was well organized, the location was amazing, and the food was delicious and healthy—meal after meal. The retreat center’s communal dining room, pool, hot tub and yoga studio were great places to hang out. I enjoyed meeting other women who are smart, goal-oriented, and navigating their way through the challenges of mid-life.” - Deb, past retreat participant

Sure, you could book an adventure tour or plan a solo getaway—but this retreat offers something deeper. Are you ready for a reset? Are you ready to reignite your love for adventure and the outdoors? Are you ready to spend 6 days simply enjoying present and being YOU??

Most vacations leave you feeling like you need another vacation just to recover…

Most vacations are a whirlwind—fun but packed with schedules, logistics, and the kind of exhaustion that makes you feel like you need another vacation to recover.

The Reignite Retreat is different. It’s not just a getaway—it’s a reset, a recharge, and a reignition of what lights you up.

🔥 Mind-Body Reconnection – Move, breathe, explore, and nourish yourself with intention—this is wellness that goes beyond the surface.
🔥 Adventure + Reflection – Hike, swim, or surf and take time to pause, reflect, and realign with what’s next for you.
🔥 Support & Sisterhood – Experience the magic of a group of like-minded, adventurous women who lift each other up.
🔥 Space for What’s Next – Whether you’re navigating an empty nest, a career pivot, or simply craving more you time, this retreat helps you step forward with clarity and confidence.
🔥 All-Inclusive Ease – No planning, no stress—just show up, let go, and reignite your passion for life.

This isn’t just time away—it’s time to come back to yourself. 🔥💃🌊

Why This Retreat is More Than Just a Vacation…

Most vacations leave you feeling like you need another vacation just to recover. They’re fun but often packed with schedules, logistics, and surface-level experiences. This retreat, on the other hand, is designed to restore and revitalize you from the inside out.

Here’s what makes the Reset Retreat different:

🔥 Ditch the Pressure, Embrace the Play – Let go of perfectionism, expectations, and that constant need to do more. This is your time.

🌊 Move, Breathe & Reconnect – Daily yoga, hiking, ocean swims, and an optional surf or mountain bike session to get you back into your body.

💛 Find Clarity for What’s Next – Whether you're an empty nester, shifting careers, or just craving something more, this retreat helps you reconnect with what truly lights you up.

🌟 Zero Planning Required – Just book your flight, pack your bags, and show up. We’ve got the rest covered—meals, movement, adventures, and all the magic in between.

Experience the magic and beautify of the Baja!

Baja California Sur is pure magic. Imagine waking up to the sound of waves crashing on the shore, stepping outside to feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, and breathing in the fresh ocean air. The landscape is a breathtaking blend of golden beaches, rugged desert cliffs, and lush palm-filled oases, creating the perfect balance of adventure and serenity.

Sunsets here are nothing short of spectacular—the sky ignites in fiery oranges, soft pinks, and deep purples, reflecting off the Pacific as you sip a fresh juice mocktail or a glass of wine. From the infinity pool, you might spot humpback whales breaching in the distance, a reminder of just how wild and special this place is.

The tranquility of Baja is unmatched. Whether you’re hiking through cactus-lined trails with sweeping ocean views, dipping into a refreshing cold plunge, or simply listening to the rhythm of the waves, every moment invites you to slow down, reconnect, and breathe deeply. It’s a place where time stretches, worries fade, and you can fully immerse yourself in nature, movement, and the joy of simply being.
