Details

What if you started 2027 not by pushing harder, but by coming home to yourself? Most of us rush back into the grind in January, abandoning our intentions before the month is barely underway. Journey of the Heart was designed for the woman who wants something different. Not more doing, but more being. A genuine reset in your body, heart, and spirit. This six-day women's retreat gathers a small, intimate circle of women for an experience that goes far beyond a typical wellness getaway. Your days unfold with intention. Mornings begin with embodiment practices, gentle yoga, guided meditation, EFT tapping, energy healing, and pranayama, designed to quiet the mental chatter and open you to what's ready to shift. Late mornings bring transformational workshops in the jungle that aren't PowerPoint presentations. These are experiences. Rituals. Invitations to shed old stories and step into new ones. Afternoons are yours, because transformation needs space, and integration needs rest. Float in the ocean. Swim in private cenotes. Receive a spa treatment. Journal on your terrace. Or simply do nothing, and feel good about it. You'll be guided by five extraordinary women: * Asha Frost is an Anishinaabe Medicine Woman, healer, and bestselling author who guides us back to the medicine within. * Robyn Moreno is an award-winning storyteller, Emmy-nominated TV host, and author whose work centers reclamation and rootedness. * Jamia Wilson is an award-winning feminist activist, author, speaker, publisher, and a leading force in women's rights for over a decade. * Sarah Anne Wilkinson and Sarah Kelly Reid are the co-founders of Art of Self Worth, embodiment guides, somatic coaches, and the heart behind over a decade of transformational retreat experiences across the globe. Community begins before you arrive: An optional pre-retreat book club starts three months before we gather in Mexico. Each month moving through the books of our three featured facilitators and guided by the Sarahs. It's an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the teachers, begin forming bonds with your fellow participants, and arrive fully ready to receive. Recordings will be available, and this is optional! This retreat is for you if... You've been holding it together for everyone else and forgot what it feels like to be held yourself. You crave women who will witness your mess, your magic, and everything in between, without judgment. You're ready to start the year not with a resolution, but with a remembering. The women who come aren't the ones who have it all figured out. They're the ones brave enough to admit they don't.

Jill, USA

“This retreat was INCREDIBLE. From the moment I signed up I felt cared for, from the preparation for traveling, the accommodations, and the itinerary. Traveling with Sarah and Sarah is an experience not to be missed, I will be booking with them again.”

Nadine, USA

“I’ve done retreats since I was 16...and by far, this retreat has been the best in every possible way. The love from the Sarahs — they are so dedicated and selfless. What they’ve done is amazing. They’ve brought these women together into this absolutely gorgeous place. Empowering these women and myself. It’s been the best vacation I’ve ever had.”

Evelyn, USA

“This retreat was beyond my expectations. I think it really provided a space for me to just relax and just ask myself those inner questions that are sometimes difficult to bring up or work through. And I feel like the combination of having two loving people facilitate that and then also having a beautiful space to just kind of hold you was really great. I really enjoyed my time here.”
