Soak + Release + Transform + Renew
Winter Solstice & New Moon Journey
December 16–22, 2025
Who This Journey Is For
This journey is for the tired. For the woman in the in-between, the one who has trouble resting after years of carrying. For the woman in transition, midlife emergence, standing on the threshold between what was and what will be.
It is for those who sense the old self shedding and know the new must be courted with intention. This is for women who long for ritual, for companionable silence, for the hush of desert nights, and for the fierce clarity of returning light.

Investment in Renewal
Joining this journey is an investment in yourself, your rest, your clarity, and your return to light. It is a commitment to step away from the demands of everyday life and allow yourself to be nourished by ritual, community, and the healing waters of New Mexico’s sacred landscapes.
This offering is designed not only as a retreat, but as a turning point, a chance to release what has been carried too long and to welcome what is waiting to emerge.
$6,500 - Single Occupancy
Enjoy your own private room for solitude, reflection, and rest.
$5,000 per person - Double Occupancy
Share your journey with a companion while still receiving the full retreat experience.
$3,500 per person - New Mexico Residents (no airfare included)
A special rate for local women who wish to join without the need for flights.
Space is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of this gathering. Early reservation is encouraged to ensure your place in the circle. Each woman’s presence is an essential part of the collective journey, and the container is held small so that every voice, silence, and story has room to breathe. If you feel the call, trust the timing, reserve early to honor your place in this season of renewal.
