Details

Set against the stark, magnificent expanse of Joshua Tree, this weekend is designed around tangible, somatic tools that shift your physiology out of high-alert and back into total balance. By mid-November, as the year begins to wind down and the daily rush intensifies, taking a dedicated pause gives your body the exact space it needs to integrate, reset, and build resilience for what’s ahead. Through somatic breathwork, deep physical release, grounded nature immersion, and unique equine connection, you will: ​- Regulate your nervous system and drop out of chronic fight-or-flight. - Release stored physical tension and mental clutter held deep within the body. - Rebuild your capacity for presence, grounding, and sharp mental clarity. - Restore your energy so you return to your life fully charged, not drained.

Testimonials

info

"Attending the Joshua Tree retreat facilitated by Ana was everything I needed and more. She cultivates such a restful, grounding experience in the desert—a gentle flow of ease, deep physical rest, connection, and space to journey into your own inner clarity. This was my second time attending, and it was so deeply restorative. I’m already looking forward to the next one."

Maria, USA

"The manifesting sessions were incredibly eye-opening. I had never experienced that level of clarity before — it shifted the way I approach my intentions. Being in the desert, away from the noise of everyday life, helped me slow down and connect with myself in a whole new way."

Chloe, USA

"I had one of the best weekends simply by saying yes to myself and attending this retreat hosted by the incredibly talented Ana Lilia. You felt loved and held from the moment you arrived. The itinerary was unforgettable—from breathwork on the boulders to fire ceremonies and stargazing under the desert sky. Our bodies and minds were nourished in every way, and the community of women was incredible."

Marcy, USA

"Stargazing under the Joshua Tree sky was pure magic. Surrounded by nature and stillness, I felt a deep sense of wonder, peace, and possibility open up in me. This retreat created such a safe, intentional space that I felt ready to finally release old trauma and reconnect with hope. I left feeling lighter, more inspired, and deeply seen."
