Sacred Soul: Return
Come home to yourself.
Four nights in the red rocks. No hustle. No striving. Just you, your soul, and the stillness.

Reserve My SpotYou've been doing the work for a long time.
The therapy. The journaling. The growth. The retreats.
And somewhere in all of it⌠you forgot to actually rest.
Not a vacation where you're still half-managing your life from your phone.
Real rest. The kind where your nervous system finally exhales.
Where you stop performing â even for yourself.
But hereâs what we havenât told you yet:
the rest isnât the destination. Itâs the doorway.
Because underneath the exhaustion â underneath every pattern youâve worked and every wound youâve tended â there is something in you that was never touched by any of it.
A part of you that remembers why you came.
This year, thatâs where weâre going.
Not more doing. Not even more healing.
Remembering.
Some Places Heal You Just by Being There
Sedona is one of them.
Red rock canyons that have called pilgrims and seekers for centuries.
Wide desert sky, thick with stars once the sun goes down.
Trails winding through ancient stone into panoramic views.
Quiet mornings and cool high-desert air.
Nourishing meals, freshly prepared daily.
Space to breathe, to walk, to simply be.
This land was designed to slow you down.
Every retreat weâve led before this one has been about finding what was hidden.
This one is about remembering what was never lost.
You are not a broken woman reassembling herself.
You are an intact soul who forgot where she lives.
So over four nights, we walk you home â in order.
- Back to your body.
- Back to the girl you were.
- Back to your soul⌠and the plan it made before you ever arrived.
What if your wounds werenât evidence against you â but the curriculum you came for?
What if your heart has kept a record, untouched and unbroken, of who you are and what you came here to do?
It has. The mystics have always known about it.
And this week, youâll sit with yours.
This Retreat Is for You IfâŚ
- You're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix.
- You've done a lot of inner work â and you're ready to integrate it, not add more.
- You want to slow down, drop into your body, and hear what your soul has been trying to say.
- You crave sacred connection with people who actually get it.
- You want to come home to yourself â not a more productive version of yourself.
- Something in you is whispering go â and you're finally listening.
What Moves Through the Week
This isn't a day-by-day. There's no schedule to preview, no itinerary to anticipate. What we can tell you is what runs through it:
Rest
Real rest, not managed-from-your-phone rest. Space for your nervous system to actually exhale.
Teaching
Soul-level conversation and guidance from Nadia and Melissa, drawn from decades in this work.
Ceremony
Sacred ritual held with intention, honoring the land and the moment.
Connection
People who get it, without you having to explain yourself first.
Exploring
Time to move through the land itself, at your own pace.
A Meal Out
One evening, off-site, just for the joy of it. Good food, good company, no agenda.
A Surprise
One special addition we're not telling you about yet. You'll know it when it happens.
Remembering
A teaching current that runs beneath the whole week â your soulâs plan, and the record your heart has kept of it. We wonât say more than that here. Youâll understand when youâre sitting in it.
Healing
The current running underneath all of it, start to finish.
Everything is held. Nothing is forced. You'll find out how it unfolds by being there.

I went into the Sacred Soul Retreat feeling unworthy and fearful but left feeling reconnected to myself, peaceful, loved, and inspired to live from a place of authenticity and purpose. I cried, laughed and formed life-long friendships. Nadia and Melissa held space with such wisdom and love through soul-nourishing meditations and spiritual teaching that provide resources to continue my healing journey!Barb
The culmination of the retreat brought everything into focus in a way that astonished me and the feelings and experiences were truly life changing. Every woman in that experience with me I now consider a Soul Sister! Melissa and Nadia bring their teachings together in a way that makes them the perfect pairing, I love them both!KathyReserve My Spot

FAQs
Who is this retreat for?
Women who have already done some inner work and feel ready to go deeper â and who are also craving real rest. If you've been running on empty and your soul is calling for a reset, this is for you.
Is this retreat only for women?
It's a women-centered space, held with tenderness and deep care. We also warmly welcome anyone who feels called to this work and honors that energy. If that's you, reach out and let's talk.
What is included?
Four nights in Sedona, all retreat programming, ceremony, three nourishing meals daily, pre-retreat preparation guidance, and post-retreat integration support. All-inclusive except transportation.
What does Top Bunk/King Share mean?
It's our reduced-rate option for women who want to be here and are comfortable with a less private setup. You can take a top bunk in a shared room, or share a king bed with another woman. If you're sharing the king, you can tell us who you'd like to share with, or we'll help you find a match before you decide. The retreat itself is identical for everyone. The only difference is how much space you have to yourself at night.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. A $555 deposit holds your space, and the balance can be paid in full or split into 3, 4, or 6 monthly payments, with everything paid by April 15, 2027. Plans include a small fee that grows with the length of the plan. Paying in full avoids it.
How do I get there?
Every participant is responsible for their own travel to and from the retreat. The retreat is in Sedona, and the address is released after registration. Many participants coordinate travel with each other through the pre-retreat chats and connections.
What if I'm coming alone?
Most people do. The group is intentionally small and intimate â connections form fast. Many say the connection they find is the most unexpected gift of the whole week.
What happens after I secure my spot?
You'll receive a welcome email with all retreat details, preparation info, and next steps.
What if I'm not sure I'm ready?
If you're feeling the pull â trust it. Your mind may still be debating, but something deeper already knows.
