A women's retreat on the Baja coast · April 15–18, 2027

The Embodied Woman

For the woman everyone leans on.
Three days by the sea to set it all down, and finally be held.

The invitation

You've gotten so good at holding everyone.
When were you last held?

You're the one people call.
The capable one. The steady one.
The one who knows what everyone needs before they ask.

You've rehearsed the hard conversation in the shower.
You've said yes before you meant it.
You've become so dependable that no one notices when you're running on empty, and sometimes, neither do you.

And you've done the work. The books, the healing, the circles.
You know your patterns by heart.

What's missing isn't another insight.
It's a place soft enough, and safe enough, that your body finally believes it can stop holding.

Picture this...
You wake to the sound of waves, with nowhere to be.
Breakfast is already made.
Your phone is somewhere at the bottom of your bag.
Around you are women who don't need anything from you.
And slowly, your body remembers it's allowed to soften.

That's what these three days are.

Women gathered in a circle on soft blankets, listening and laughing together

What we'll weave together

Less doing. More feeling.

one

Coming home to your body

Out of your head and into the softness, strength and pleasure you've been too busy to feel.

two

Yin yoga

Long, slow holds that ask nothing of you except to stay. Let the floor hold your weight for once.

three

Sound bath

Crystal bowls, chimes and gong wash over you while you lie still and let your whole body unwind.

four

Tea ceremony

Cha dao, the way of tea. Quiet, simple, unhurried. One cup at a time, you arrive back in yourself.

five

Heart-opening ceremony

A sacred evening held with deep care, to soften what you've kept guarded and feel what's true.

six

Cacao & movement

Morning cacao, when your body can actually use it. Then music, and dancing like no one's grading you.

seven

Breathwork

Guided breath that reaches what words can't.

eight

Sisterhood

Ten women. No one to impress, no one to manage. Being seen as you are, and seeing them back.

nine

The ocean

Sunrise on the sand, salt on your skin, sunset walks along the boardwalk. The sea sets the pace, not your calendar.

The setting

A home by the sea,
just for us.

We'll stay together in a beautiful home inside a private, secure coastal neighborhood, with a private beach steps away and a boardwalk that follows the shoreline.

Wake up to waves. Take your cacao to the sand. Spend the afternoon however your body asks. The place itself is part of the work.

The rhythm of our days

Three days. Three nights.

Thursday

Arrive

A private ride from San Diego to the coast, where the house is ready and waiting. Dinner by the sea, then an opening circle to arrive in your body and set your intention.

Friday

Open

A morning tea ceremony to drop into stillness. A workshop on setting down what you've been carrying, then time to rest. In the evening, the heart-opening ceremony, closing with a sound bath.

Saturday

Soften

Integration day. Cacao and movement in the morning, then yin yoga, breathwork, and long, unhurried hours on the beach and in the ocean.

Sunday

Return

A slow breakfast and a closing circle, then we leave at 8:30 am for San Diego airport. Please book flights departing at 12 pm or later.

After the retreat

Not a getaway.
A way of living.

These three days aren't time away from your life.
They're practice for it.

You'll learn to feel your yes and your no in your body, and to trust it.
To notice the moment you're about to hold everything, and choose to set it down.
To say what you want and need, out loud, and let yourself receive it.
To treat your pleasure as something you're allowed, not something you earn.
And to let other women hold you, instead of always being the one who holds.

So the woman who wakes up to the ocean is the same woman who answers the email on Tuesday, holds the boundary on Wednesday, and lets herself rest on Sunday.

You don't just visit yourself here.
You learn to live there.

Your guide

Obsidian Whyte

At eighteen, I chose my own name as a promise to keep finding my way back to who I really am. I've been keeping that promise ever since, and for the last eleven years I've helped others keep theirs.

My work began with women. Through my first business, House of the Goddess, I supported women in their wellness, in finding their purpose and actually living it. I taught women to host their own circles and to build soul-led businesses of their own.

From there I built Temple of the Heart, a ceremonial community in Las Vegas that I held for three years and that welcomed over a hundred people. Today I guide women, men and couples through work that starts in the body rather than the head, and I make my home here on the Baja coast.

The Embodied Woman brings me back to where it all began: a circle of women, by the sea.

In ceremony, nothing is rushed and nothing is performed. You don't have to be anyone other than who you are.

I don't think you need more insight. I think you need a place beautiful and safe enough to stop holding, so your body can remember what it already knows.

For conscious women

Is this retreat for me?

This retreat is for you if…

  • You love yourself and long for deeper intimacy, with your body, your desires, and other women. Sacred bonds that feel wild, alive, and aligned.
  • You know your power, yet sometimes hold back, soften your truth, or lose touch with it around others. You’re ready for your authentic voice to feel fuller, freer, and rooted in your body.
  • You want to be more honest with yourself about what you need and desire and feel clear and confident asking for it, including your pleasure.
  • You crave more fire, play, and sensuality. More moments when you feel awake in your body and vibrant in your life.
  • You’re conscious, connected, and devoted to your growth, yet sense there are deeper dimensions of your sacred feminine waiting to be felt and expressed.
  • Your life is full and meaningful, but there isn’t always room to listen to your deepest desires. You want space to hear what’s calling you.
  • You’re tired of feeling like there’s always something to prove, achieve, fix, or heal. You long to soften, exhale, and simply be.
  • You’re ready to bring more of yourself into your everyday life with embodied practices that support your fullest expression long after the retreat ends.
  • You want a beautiful, playful weekend of laughter, meaningful connection, and sisterhood with memories and relationships you can carry home.

If you felt a yes in your body,
let this retreat be an invitation home to yourself.

Questions

Good to know

Who is this for?

Women who are used to holding it all, and who are ready to be held for a while. No experience with embodiment or ceremony needed.

I've already done a lot of inner work. Will this be more of the same?

Probably not. Most women who come have done the books and the retreats. This isn't about learning more about yourself. It's about feeling it, in your body, among women who aren't asking you to hold anything.

Do I need to be going through something hard to come?

No. You don't have to be falling apart to deserve three days of being cared for.

How do I get there?

Fly into San Diego International Airport (SAN) on Thursday. Our private transportation leaves at 2 pm from Tender Greens in Liberty Station, about 10 minutes from the airport. Come early and have lunch there if you'd like; it's a lovely way to meet a few of the women before we drive down together.

On Sunday, we leave the house at 8:30 am and bring you back to the airport. Please book a return flight departing at 12 pm or later.

What to bring: a photo ID is enough to enter Mexico, but to come back into the US by land, please bring your passport or passport card. A regular driver's license can mean extra screening at the border for everyone in the car.

Will we talk before I reserve?

Yes. Every woman has a personal conversation with me before she reserves her place. It's how I make sure this circle is right for you, and that you're right for it. Apply, book your call, and if it's a yes for both of us, I'll send your deposit link right there on the call.

What if my plans change?

Your $500 deposit is non-refundable, but it never goes to waste: it becomes credit toward any retreat within 12 months. If you cancel 60 or more days before we gather, your balance is refunded. Within 60 days, your balance also becomes credit toward a future retreat within 12 months. You're always welcome to pass your place to another woman instead. If I ever need to cancel, you'll receive a full refund.
