Retreats
A 7-day women’s retreat for the woman who’s ready to be soft and wild – in the same body, at the same time.
MARCH 3 – 10, 2027
PUERTO ESCONDIDO, MEXICO
14 WOMEN
Wild
Softness
Priority pricing – our way of honouring the women who answer early. Available through July 31, 2026 - standard pricing applies after.
You haven’t been numb.
You’ve been holding it all together. Wild Softness is what happens when you finally put it down.
You’ve done the workshops. Read the books. Held it together for everyone else.
You crave depth. Real, not performed.
You’re ready to feel your own feet on the ground again.
THE FOUNDATION OF THE WEEK
·Land · Listen · Live
The week moves through three phases – Land, Listen, Live – honouring you as a whole: body, mind, energy, soul. We begin by landing in the body, where sensation opens the door inward. The body becomes language. We listen to what it says. And that listening shapes how you walk back into your life.
The four elements move through each phase as felt experience, not metaphor – qualities the body already knows. Earth steadies. Water softens. Fire transforms. Air liberates. You move through them. They move through you.
Land
Earth · Days 1–3
Arrival into body, place, and circle. Slow yoga, grounding, ceremony, and real rest. By the end of Day 3, your nervous system stops running. You feel your feet.
Listen
Water & Fire · Days 4–5
The middle. Where the noise quiets, and what’s underneath rises. Breathwork, temazcal, sound, fire. Held, witnessed, never rushed.
Live
Air & Fire · Days 6–7
Integration and embodiment. Not “what did I learn” but “how do I walk now?” Celebration, commitment, the door home – and a thread back to each other.
WHAT THE WEEK HOLDS
Designed for your wholeness.
Every offering earns its place. Every activation is paired with a downshift. Nothing is decoration.
Cacao Ceremony
Open-hearted gathering on the threshold. The opening that sets the week.
Daily Yoga
Restorative to dynamic to integrative. The body’s progression, not a generic flow.
Sound Bath
Deep nervous system reset, woven into the week’s quietest day.
International Women’s Day Celebration
March 8 falls inside our week. We don’t tack it on. We build a day of celebration around it.
Breathwork
One held, deep session. Placed when your system is ready – not before.
Fire Ceremony
The midweek crossing. What you came to lay down meets the flame.
Ecstatic Dance
Embodied joy, no choreography. Your body, finally moving how it wants to.
Optional Ice Plunge
Always opt-in, never peer-pressured. Your edge is yours.
Temazcal
On-site sacred sweat. A rite of release, held with care.
Moon Ceremony
Aligned with the actual sky on retreat dates. We work with the lunar cycle, not against it.
Ocean Excursion
One full day on the Pacific. Sea, sky, story – the wide-open middle.
Spaciousness
Real free time, every day. Emptiness is part of the design – not what’s missing from it.
WHERE YOU’LL STAY
A villa wrapped in jungle and salt air.
Barbarenas is a boutique sanctuary tucked into the hills of Puerto Escondido – the kind of place where the architecture, the light, and the silence do half the work for you.
Hand-built rooms, an open-air pool, a temazcal on the property, and a five-minute walk to one of Mexico’s most alive stretches of Pacific coast.
7 nights, all-inclusive
On-site temazcal
Open-air pool & lounge
Walk to the beach
Private & shared rooms
Locally sourced meals

WHO’S HOLDING THIS
Two women
fully met.
A coach and a therapist. Both yoga teachers, met in India. Both have done their own work, so they can hold yours.
Bianca
Affirmative Healing Founder · Registered Psychotherapist ·Yoga Teacher
Registered Psychotherapist, Yoga Teacher, Breathwork Practitioner, and founder of Affirmative Healing. She supports women through life transitions, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and emotional healing by blending evidence-based psychotherapy with holistic and embodied practices.
Drawing from somatic, emotion-focused, and EMDR-informed approaches, Bianca’s work honours the connection between mind, body, and nervous system healing. Trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in India, she weaves movement, breathwork, meditation, and yogic philosophy into her offerings to help women reconnect with themselves and cultivate lasting well-being.
Julie
LiT Founder · Coach · Yoga Teacher
Founder of Live In Truth, Certified Holistic Wellness & Lifestyle Coach, Mind-Body Practitioner, and Yoga Teacher. She is the creator of The Embodied Truth Method — a yoga-led, integrative coaching approach designed for women who have spent years carrying everything: leading at work, holding the family together, and showing up for everyone else.
Her work honours a sustainable and integrative approach to wellbeing — body-led, mind-integrated, energy-aware, research-backed, and lifestyle-anchored. Through coaching, yoga, nervous system support, and embodied practices, Julie helps overwhelmed, high-functioning, disconnected women rebuild their relationship with themselves and return to presence, freedom, clarity, and aliveness that naturally transmits into the outer world they create.
Fourteen seats. One opening.
Priority list members are the first to book, and the only ones who receive a priority rate.
Before You Ask.
A few real questions.
-
Yes. All levels are warmly welcome, and no previous yoga experience is required. Every practice and session offers variations and guidance for different levels and abilities, always with your comfort and safety in mind. While all activities are thoughtfully designed to support your experience, participation is always an invitation, never a requirement.
-
Yes. This is for women who are arriving honestly, not performing readiness. The container is trauma-informed and titrated - you’ll be met where you are. No prior retreat experience required.
-
Yes. All dietary requirements, allergies, and food preferences will be treated with care and attention to ensure you feel supported, safe, and nourished throughout your stay.
-
English. Practices, ceremonies, and circles are in English. Local staff at Barbarenas speak Spanish and English.
-
No flights are not included. You’ll fly into Puerto Escondido International (PXM). Once you book, you’ll receive arrival and ground transport guidance - we coordinate the airport pickup window for you.
-
It's expected - this work goes deep, and we hold space for that. Julie is a coach and yoga teacher. Bianca is a registered psychotherapist and yoga teacher, and her clinical background informs how she holds the room, reads what's happening in a group, and supports someone moving through something hard.
That said, this retreat isn't therapy and Bianca isn't acting as your therapist here - her role is facilitator, not clinician. If something comes up that needs ongoing support, we'll help you find the right next step, and we ask that you come into the week with your own support system (therapist, doctor, or trusted practitioner) already in place, so you have somewhere to land afterward too.
-
This retreat is women-only. If you’d like to come with a friend or partner, the shared room option is built for two or three guests - message us when you join the priority list or are ready to book.
-
$750 secures your seat, or you can pay in full. Payment plans are available: a second payment of 50% of your remaining balance is due September 15, 2026, with the final 50% due November 15, 2026.
Please note: the pricing shown on this page is our standard rate. Priority list members receive a discounted rate, shared directly with them — along with full payment terms — once they join the list.
-
Yes. The priority list closes July 31, 2026. Join before then to lock in the discounted rate. As of August 1, 2026, standard pricing is in effect for all new bookings.
-
Pack for lightness, comfort, and soul. Bring what nourishes your body and allows you to move, explore, rest, celebrate, and fully be yourself. Flowing clothing, swimwear, layers for the evenings, and comfortable movement wear are recommended. Leaving a little extra space in your luggage is always a good idea too – Puerto Escondido is full of beautiful local stores and handcrafted pieces you may wish to bring home with you.
-
We've got you covered — once you book, we'll coordinate your airport transfer from PXM directly to Barbarenas, so you don't need to arrange anything yourself.
-
Fresh, locally sourced meals will be prepared daily by our private chef, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner included, alongside nourishing snacks and beverages available throughout the day. Lunches and dinners will be primarily plant-based, with eggs available at breakfast. A mainly plant-based menu is intentionally chosen to support digestion, energy, nervous system regulation, and overall wellbeing throughout the retreat experience while keeping the body feeling light, grounded, and nourished.
