The Beauty Way: A Sacred Retreat for Embodied Living
Nestled in the heart of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert at the award-winning CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa, The Beauty Way is a transformative three-day retreat for women seeking alignment, nourishment, and embodied connection. Rooted in the energy of a new beginning, this intimate experience invites you to step into the year ahead with intention and possibility. Through sacred sisterhood, healing practices, joyful movement, and the serene power of the desert, you are invited to arrive as you are and leave more fully yourself.
The Beauty Way is a path of possibility, presence, and dreaming a beautiful life into reality. This retreat honors each woman’s unique path, creating a space where judgment is replaced by deep presence and competition gives way to community.
Guided by experienced facilitators Shannie Smith and Erin Yari, The Beauty Way welcomes you exactly as you are, whether you’re spiritually seasoned or simply curious. With rituals of embodiment and practices of presence, we will sit in sacred sisterhood and dream a beautiful life into reality, together.
