What would shift if you saw everything - your body, your story, your relationships, your becoming - through the lens of love?

Not the love that requires perfection. Not the love that comes with conditions. But the deep, unwavering love that sees you whole.

That is the invitation of this retreat.

For the fifth year, Sacred Woman Collective journeys into the high desert for a weekend of healing, awakening, and sisterhood. Set against the ancient beauty of Morongo Valley - where the sky stretches endlessly and the land holds centuries of wisdom - we gather to slow down, turn inward, and remember who we are beneath the noise.

This year, we are so thrilled to welcome a new special guest cohost: Lavinia Errico, co-founder of Equinox Fitness Clubs and the visionary founder of JoyLift.

WHAT AWAITS YOU

Nestled within a serene 5-acre ranch bordering hundreds of acres of untouched California preserve, Morongo Valley Ranch is more than a venue - it is a living sanctuary. Home to rescued horses, mini donkeys, chickens, dogs, and cats, this land holds a tender, healing energy that you feel the moment you arrive.

WHAT AWAITS YOU

✦ JoyLift Movement - Lavinia Errico's signature methodology that ignites your life force and awakens the body. You'll move, sweat, and laugh your way back into yourself, leaving feeling vibrantly, unapologetically alive.

✦ Releasing Tension & Stress from the Body - Gentle, guided practices designed to help you physically let go of what you've been carrying. Many women are surprised by what moves through them when the body finally feels safe enough to release.

✦ Guided Horse Healing Meditation - In the presence of the ranch's magnificent horses, something shifts that is difficult to put into words. These animals meet you exactly where you are - no performance, no pretense, and guide you back to stillness.

✦ Sacred Circles - The heartbeat of Sacred Woman Collective. A space to speak honestly, be witnessed without judgment, and remember that you are not alone in what you carry.

✦ Sound Healing - Vibrational sound moves through the nervous system in ways that conversation alone cannot reach. You will leave this experience quieter inside, and that quiet is where clarity lives.

✦ Transformative Breathwork - Your breath is one of the most powerful tools you have for release, healing, and expansion. This guided practice will take you somewhere within yourself that you may not have visited in a long time.

✦ Nourishing Meals - Lovingly prepared and enjoyed together in nature. Food as medicine, as pleasure, as a reason to slow down and savor being here.

✦ Gifts & More — Curated with intention, chosen just for you.

THE SPACE

Morongo Valley Ranch is a serene 5-acre wellness sanctuary nestled against hundreds of acres of untouched California high desert preserve. Since 2021, this land has welcomed women's retreats, sacred circles, and healing ceremonies - holding space for growth, grief, joy, and everything in between. The ranch's rescued animals - horses, mini donkeys, and more, are not just beloved residents; they are active participants in the healing work that happens here.

To step onto this land is to exhale.

This retreat is for you if:  You are craving a deep reset - You long to feel at home in your body again - You are ready to release what no longer serves you - You want to be in the company of women who are doing the real work - You are ready to see your life through a new lens - the most powerful one there is.

You will leave this weekend different than you arrived. Not because something was added to you, but because you finally saw yourself clearly. Through the lens of love, the noise falls away, the weight lifts, and what remains is the truest version of you — grounded, open, and alive.
