For women ready to step boldly into their next chapter with clarity, confidence, and soul-aligned courage.

Soul Compass Retreats

Are you being called to slow down and reconnect to what matters most?

You’ve been on your personal and spiritual growth journey for decades.
You’ve built a life full of wisdom and you’ve already pivoted multiple times to learn from your life lessons and use your gifts to help others.

And yet… something inside is telling you that you are still playing small.
“There’s more.”

You’re standing at a threshold moment. You feel change is calling but haven’t yet seen the full picture. It almost feels like you’ve come to a crossroads and the signs are unclear where to go next.
You know you’re ready for deeper alignment, and you crave:

🌀Clarity on your true soul calling. You’ve been living a version of it but there’s something much bigger on the horizon. You can almost see the the possibilities swirling — now you want to ground them in one clear direction.

🦋Courage to choose differently, even if it means disrupting the familiar. Even if it means letting go of roles, relationships, or rhythms that no longer serve.

🏝️Sacred space to reconnect with yourself — away from the distractions and demands of daily life.  You long to be immersed in nature’s wisdom…to walk barefoot on the sand, breathe deeply under the jungle canopy, and to be in an environment with creative , soul-aligned women who see the magic within the muck.

🕊️Permission to leap. Your soul knows you’re ready, even if your mind says “not yet.” The time is now, you can’t keep postponing who you are meant to be.  

The women who come to Soul Compass retreats leave with clarity, courage, and life-changing direction.

Because they said yes despite the fear.

This is full embodiment of coming home to Self. You will engage with the elements of water, earth, air and fire in the exotic location of Sayulita, Mexico, known as Pueblo Magico.

The Soul Compass Retreats in Sayulita, Mexico

Water:

The magic of the water of the warm clear Pacific ocean for washing away and releasing the old and integrating the new energy. Our beach villa is a 2 min walk to the white sand beach

Earth:

The white sand of the beach to ground your creativity with clarity, rooting your action for growth.  Every morning you can walk the empty beach for miles.

Air:

The hot lush Mexican jungle to integrate your years of growth, knowledge and wisdom from your life lessons, and the ocean breeze to embrace the stillness away from the chaos and muck of your day to day life.

Fire:

The clear night sky on the beach with no light or negative energy pollution allowing you to see your new vision with clarity. The stars sparkle back at you, reminding you of the vastness of the universe.  The beach fire will be a ceremony to celebrate your courage as you to step into your new life.

The Results

A before-and-after transformation that begins the moment you say YES to your soul.

Before the retreat, you may feel uncertain, stuck, or overwhelmed with options.

Afterward, you’ll feel:

🧭 Clear & Purposeful

Reconnected to your inner compass, with clarity about your soul gifts and next right steps.

🔥 Courageous & Aligned
Ready to make bold, soul-led moves that feel true — not just expected.

🌺 Energized & Connected
Nourished, alive, and held by a circle of women who deeply see and celebrate you.

We created these retreats because we know what it’s like to stand at a threshold — to feel something bigger calling you forward but not know how to move.

The Soul Compass Retreat is a sanctuary. A sacred pause. A place to remember what’s true, return to yourself, and step into the next chapter with clarity and courage.
