"This is one of the best things I have ever done."
- Julie
Imagine stepping through a portal where your senses are activated...
where you feel deeply connected to your surroundings - humans and nature.
Where you feel safe to soften in your deep feminine,
free to explore who you are and who you are becoming.
Your body fed with healthy, nourishing food,
& knowing that you are fully taken care of.
..
This is the Portals Retreat.
A 7-day intentionally curated women's retreat, designed to help you activate your power within.
A place where you can come as you are,
and feel the world's weight fall away.
Enter a space where your mind, body, and spirit can soften, flourish and rest.
and leave with renewed energy, wisdom,
and trust in your sacred path
.
Step through the PORTAL
and hear your soul's true calling.

Stepping into the mystery…
Is not always easy
Or accepted
Or even better understood
But the call of the soul
Of a deep knowing
The reminder of a tender flame
Inside of your heart
Can ignite
With one breath
Bringing you home
To your life’s true purpose
Whole and free
Step through the portal
Take that leap
Remember who you truly are
