LIVING WITH INTENTION

February 20th - 23rd, 2025

Restorative Retreat for Purpose-Full Driven Women

Are you ready to tune in and listen to the wisdom within?

We all need to find time to reset and restore our minds and bodies, especially for those who are leaders in their field, business owners & entrepreneurs, or anyone who is passionate about sharing their talents and gifts to build a better community.

Those big hearts of “giving all you got” can overshadow our own needs, and can lead to:

  • lotus-4776450_640

    Feeling empty

  • lotus-4776450_640

    Overwhelm

  • lotus-4776450_640

    Burn-out

  • lotus-4776450_640

    Directionless

  • lotus-4776450_640

    And the list is endless…

Retreat Details

BioDynamic Breathwork (BBTRS®) with April Wyett

April provides a sanctuary of support to help you find a resource, and a place of safety, and assist you to connect to the felt sense through self-awareness within and around your body. Through the  BioDynamic Breathwork (BBTRS®) experience, you will receive gentle guidance to utilize the breath with movement, touch, release, and soothing sounds ending with a meditation & integration of energy with Reiki. This is a holistic approach for an embodiment of breath practice to witness your ability to ease tensions and self-regulate.

The BBTRS® breathing style can help to target specific emotional and/or physical issues and tap into areas that feel “blocked” or disconnected from the rest of the body. Through the series of sessions, an awareness is fostered by building Emotional Intelligence, as you learn to alleviate tensions and discord within the mind & body while receiving support in exploring your personal growth.

Reiki Experience with April Wyett

During our time together April will offer a Restorative Meditation with Reiki.

Reiki is a Japanese technique that promotes well-being and is very gentle and helps to support mental, physical, and emotional wellness and healing.

During the 45-minute meditation, you will receive support in relieving stress, tension, and anxiety to restore your foundation of health, energy, and vitality. The session will start with a short, guided meditation as you relax to soothing music, allowing yourself to be supported by Reiki energy.

No experience is required, just an open mind and heart to explore!

Intuition Development Workshop - Victoria Shaw

Intuition is our spiritual GPS that keeps us aligned with the realization of our deepest joys, purpose, and true abundant nature.  Everyone is intuitive, we just need to learn to tune in.  During this 90-minute experience, you will learn how to deepen your connection with your inner wisdom. Through lecture, discussion, and hands-on exercises you will discover how your intuition is already working for you.  You will learn the difference between intuition, fear, imagination, and wishful thinking. And you will deepen your trust in yourself and your inner knowing.  

Gallery Style Intuitive Reading with Victoria Shaw

Enjoy gallery-style Intuitive reading with Dr. Victoria Shaw. During this experience, Dr. Shaw will facilitate communication between your Higher Self and spirit guides to receive answers to your life’s most burning questions. Whether you are grappling with an important decision, striving for a healthier lifestyle, or wanting to gain a better understanding of your inner self and your soul’s path, intuitive insights can assist you in reaching your goals.

  • Gain insight into your life’s purpose.
  • View your current struggles or challenges from the soul’s lens.
  • Gather tips to develop your own intuition and mediumship abilities.
  • Discover details about your personal spirit guides and the unique ways you can connect with them more closely.

*There are no comprehensive readings or guarantees that everyone will receive a personal reading.

Sound Healing ~ Noriko Whitfield

Sound healing is produced by the unique sounds and frequency with the intention for healing, as it harmonizes the body on both cellular and energetic levels balancing any area needing support. Immersed in the soft soothing tones, most people say their experiences are like a massage, but on a deeper level and very relaxing. The frequencies can also provide relief of aches and tensions within the body, allowing you to let go, relax, and receive, bringing you back to your natural state of being.

Gentle Outdoor Yoga ~ Amanda Joy Coleman (Saturday Only)

Awaken your body, breath, and intuitive wisdom in a soothing outdoor morning yoga session at Cactus Blossom Retreat.

Led by Reiki master and yoga teacher Amanda Joy, this gentle yoga session will nurture your spirit and invite your soul to blossom.

Surrounded by the beauty of nature and open skies, we will move through mindful postures, breathing, and reiki-infused relaxation, allowing nature’s healing energy to restore your inner harmony.

Suitable for all levels, this class will offer a peaceful space to unwind, reset, and embrace the present moment. Breathe. Stretch. Blossom.

Mindful Art ~ Abby Williams (Friday Only)

Experience the transformative power of Mindful Art with Abby Williams, founder of Social Change Butterfly, at the Purpose-Full Driven Women retreat. Through this unique form of meditation, you'll explore emotions, manifest dreams, and reconnect with your authentic self while creating beauty with watercolors, shells, crystals, and beads. Create personal treasures on canvas, keepsake boxes, and art journals in this soul-nourishing session.

Mindfulness Hike ~ Victoria (Sunday Only

Take a soul-nourishing journey into the exclusive Cactus Blossom grounds, where Dr. Victoria Shaw will be your expert guide. Nestled in the Escondido mountainside, this hidden sanctuary invites you to meander through dramatic rock formations and flowering desert gardens rarely open to visitors. Let the pristine wilderness awaken your senses as you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with both nature and yourself in this enchanting private retreat.

Pleasing the Palate ~ Chef Paco Gonzalez

Drawing from the sun-drenched kitchens of southern Spain, Chef Paco's culinary journey began with the cherished traditions of his mother's cooking. After pivoting from a degree in Environmental Science, his relentless passion led him to master his craft in some of the world's most celebrated Michelin-starred restaurants across three continents.
