This is Where Shift Gets Good
Your Days, Your Way
Mornings: Grounded & Connected Start with intentional movement, yoga, or breathwork, followed by a nourishing breakfast together. This is where community begins.
Midday: Learn, Laugh & Go Deep Guided workshops and panels (like our No-BS Hormone Panel) that give you the knowledge and tools you've been craving. Real talk. Real experts. Real answers.
Afternoons: Yours to Design Lounge by one of three pools. Steam. Nap. Book a massage or join the group for surf lessons or a Todos Santos shopping trip. Or find a quiet nook and simply... be. There's no agenda except rest and whatever your body needs.
Evenings: Gather & Savor Chef X brings locally sourced ingredients to life in meals meant to be lingered over. Add a cocktail (or two, it's all included), share stories, and let the ocean soundtrack carry you into the night
You’ve said yes to the retreat now here’s a glimpse of what’s waiting…movement, meaning, and a little magic.
From hormone wisdom and pelvic vitality to pleasure reimagined and meditative beach creation, this retreat is designed to help you reconnect with your body, rewrite your story, and feel really, truly good again.

Tidal Release: Guided Sand Meditation
Using large rakes at low tide, we'll create a collective meditation in sand, a living artwork that represents what we're releasing and what we're calling in. You don't need to be an artist. You need to be present. Guided by Sharon BelKnap, each woman will add her intention to the sand, a shared landscape emerges. Then, we witness the ocean reclaim it all, a powerful reminder that letting go creates space for what's next. This is impermanence made beautiful.
Ask the Pros: Hormones, Pelvic Health & Everything In Between
Our menopause-focused MD, pelvic floor Physical Therapist, and Dermatologist are here to answer the questions Google can't. HRT demystified. Pelvic floor truth bombs. Skin changes, hair loss, vaginal dryness, sex that doesn't hurt, all the things we're told to whisper about? We're saying them out loud. This isn't a lecture; it's a live Q&A where your questions drive the conversation. Walk away with expert guidance, curated product samples (vaginal health, skincare, intimacy essentials), and the confidence to advocate for the care you deserve.
PAUSE: Reclaiming Your Next Chapter
Whether you're leading boardrooms or redefining what leadership means in your own life, this moment asks: Who am I becoming?
For some, the pause arrives at the peak, navigating industries not built for us, managing brain fog in critical meetings, proving ourselves as the only one or the oldest in the room. For others, it comes when the roles we've held no longer fit, when someone else's success script stops feeling like ours.
Either way, something's shifting. And you get to decide what's next.
Through the PAUSE framework (Prepare, Ask, Unfold, Shift, Embody), we examine who you were, who you're becoming, and what needs to dissolve to make space for what's calling you forward. You're not losing yourself, you're reorganizing. The old structures are making room for something sharper, truer, more aligned with your authority and values.
This isn't about fitting an existing model. It's about building your own. Leadership, identity, success: redefined by you, on your terms.
The work continues on the beach during our Tidal Release ceremony, where intention becomes art and the ocean carries away what you've chosen to release.
Pleasure Principles
When was the last time you asked yourself: What actually brings me pleasure? Not what you're supposed to want. Not what makes you a good partner, parent, or professional. What lights you up?
Led by our pleasure coach, this workshop helps you reconnect with the full spectrum of pleasure, from the simple (a solo morning walk, saying no without guilt) to the sensual. If you've spent decades tending to everyone else's needs, pleasure can feel like an indulgence. It's not. It's essential. And reclaiming it is an act of self-care and agency.
Using her signature Triangle of Pleasure framework, Coach Tosh Patterson guides you through identifying what brings you joy, where you've abandoned it, and how to create intentional space for it again. Because here's the truth: if you can't access everyday pleasure, tapping into sexual pleasure and embodiment becomes that much harder.
