Phoenix Rises: Women in Transition
Retreat
June 12-June 19, 2026
Immerse yourself in our unforgettable transformational & fun retreat
This retreat is a deeply personal journey,
and I want to make sure it’s the perfect fit for you.
Schedule a quick call to ask questions, explore if it’s aligned
with where you are in life, and see if you’re ready for this next chapter.
Have you ever wished…
-
You could pause the world long enough to hear your own heartbeat — to remember who you are beneath all the roles, responsibilities, and “should be's”?
-
That you could draw strength from the wisdom of generations before you — feeling their resilience guide you as you move through your own season of transition?
-
That you could walk through sacred spaces — salt mines, healing waters, mountain trails — and release the old stories that no longer serve you, making space for new beginnings?
-
You’d asked your grandparents about the stories they carried — so you could understand where you come from, reclaim your roots, and feel the strength of generations flowing through you?
-
That you could be held in a circle of women who understand your transformation — supporting one another as each reclaims her voice, her courage, and her next chapter?
-
That you could see your reflection — not just in the mirror, but in the calm waters of your own becoming — and know exactly who you are meant to be now?
-
That you could give yourself one sacred week to slow down, reconnect, and rise — grounded in wisdom, healed by nature, and renewed by purpose?
Who comes on our retreats?
The women who join our retreats are in a beautiful season of rediscovery. They are successful, heart-led women, experienced seekers of self — most in their 40s to 60s — who have spent years caring for others, building careers, or achieving milestones, and now feel the quiet whisper that it’s their time. Many arrive at a crossroads: navigating career changes, empty nests, divorce, or simply the desire to reconnect with their purpose. They come seeking more than rest — they come seeking renewal.
They are curious, courageous, and ready to explore what’s next with intention. Many have already done deep inner work and now feel called to go further — to deepen their self-discovery, emotional growth, and empowerment. They crave genuine connection, soulful conversations, laughter, and moments that reignite their spirit.
Some are drawn by heritage or a longing to understand their roots, others by the promise of travel that transforms rather than just transports. Each woman arrives ready to travel with purpose — to experience the world and herself in a new way. They are wise, generous, and grounded — women who know that investing in their wellbeing is both powerful and practical.
*Consult your tax advisor for individual eligibility and documentation requirements.
⬅️This is what I hope we cultivate on this retreat: authentic, deep, and wholehearted connections.

Your Journey of the Awakening to a New Beginning
-
Day 1: The Beginning of the Journey
Krakow – We reflect on the key transitions in our lives — personal or professional shifts, loss, or rediscovery.
Through a Tea Ceremony of Reflection, we anchor in gratitude and set intentions for what’s to come.
"It’s time to step forward and create a new path."
- Day 2: Protection and Empowerment
Through a Sacred Salt Cleansing Ceremony, we explore salt’s ancient role as protector — freeing ourselves from old patterns. Sacred Salt Cleansing Ceremony. "Protect your energy, and embrace the transformation ahead."
-
Day 3: Healing Waters
Thermal Spa in Zakopane – Soothe body and spirit in healing waters.
The Optional Body Image Workshop helps release judgment and restore connection to self.
(optional: Bonus Workshop on Body Image for those who desire it
"Rejuvenate, heal, and refresh your mind and body for the next phase."
-
Day 4: Vision of the Future
Morskie Oko Hike + Oracle Reading – Align your heart and mind with the vision of your next chapter.
We explore intuitive guidance and create a personal map for the future.
"See the future clearly and start manifesting your next chapter."
-
Day 5: Reclaiming Play and Joy
Gubałówka Adventure Day – Rediscover the lightness of being through laughter and connection.
We close the day with a Fire Release Ceremony, letting go of what no longer serves.
"Rediscover joy, play, and the freedom to live fully in the moment."
-
Day 6: The Hero’s Journey
Rafting the Dunajec River – Symbolic of moving through life’s currents, this guided rafting trip represents courage, surrender, and trust.
We close with a Water Manifestation Ritual to call in your dreams.
"The journey ahead is yours to create—take the leap into the unknown."
-
Day 7: Embracing the Transformation
Free Day in Zakopane + Closing Circle – A day to wander, reflect, journal, and celebrate how far you’ve come.
"Embrace your transformation—step into the life you’ve envisioned."
The fears you don't face become your limits.
The limiting beliefs you don't eradicate hold you hostage.
The low self-worth & low self-image you have drive your self-sabotaging behaviors.
Now is your time to shatter them.
Break free from limitations & obstacles that are holding you hostage & keeping you stuck.

Poland native, hosting you in my favorite place
I've been a therapist for over 25 years.
That's over 60,000 hours of sitting face-to-face
with people like you, people like me.
All walks of life, all sorts of experiences, all sorts of stories ...
same commonly repeating themes ...
repeating heavy hurts on their hearts that prevented them
from living to their fullest potential.
I’ve walked this path myself—navigating growth,
transitions, and transformation—so I truly understand what it takes.
I know the roadblocks, but more importantly,
I know the shortcuts to help you get there with more clarity, ease, and fulfillment.
Let’s make this journey one of empowerment, not just healing.
