Heading 3

March 8 - 20, 2026

This retreat is a pilgrimage of the heart — a soul-awakening journey into the depths of divine love that lives within you - a curated experience into your deepest reservoirs where your true self is awakened and your soul’s highest purpose begins to unfold.
 

Over thirteen unforgettable days, we will rise together in the frequency of love. Through curated sacred ceremonies, ancient teachings, temple visits, ancestral healing, sacred music, and a luxurious 7-day Ayurvedic detox, you will nourish your heart, awaken your spirit, and return to wholeness.​ Guided by the powerful forces of Shakti and Shiva, the sacred feminine and masculine energies within each of us, this journey invites you to return home to your truest essence.

I’ve spent my entire life as a seeker.
A woman longing to feel something beyond the ordinary 3D — to touch the unseen, to live in direct communion with the sacred. This yearning became my compass, leading me deep into the mysteries of expanded consciousness. I became an excavator of the soul.

Now, together with my co-journeyer — my daughter and beloved mirror on the path — I invite you to join us on this once-in-a-lifetime journey to India:
To remember who you are beneath the ego, the patterns, the wounds.
To dissolve the barriers that have kept love at a distance.
To reclaim the light, power, and presence that have always been yours.

India has been a place of profound teaching, spiritual respite, and deep nourishment on my own journey of coming home to my soul — and I am honored to invite you into this sacred land to experience its gifts for yourself.

Sound Artist

Songstress

Born with a deep sensitivity to energy and emotion, my path has always been one of remembering. From a young age, I experienced music as a bridge between worlds — a way to commune with spirit, process emotion, and transmute energy.
 

As a sound healer, singer-songwriter, and ceremonial guide, my goal is to synthesize vibration and soul, creating sonic landscapes that open the heart, clear stagnant energy, and activate remembrance. Music is my prayer and portal. Through sound, I alchemize personal pain into collective healing — guiding others into deeper self-love voice reclamation, and energetic sovereignty. My music has touched women around the globe, inspiring them to love themselves more deeply, reclaim their voices, and embody their power.

Taj Mahal

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
Rumi
