Sage & Radiance: A Women’s Retreat of Remembering
There comes a season in every woman’s life when the invitation changes.
For years you built. You achieved, nurtured, organized, carried, and held it all together. You showed up for your family, your career, and your community, often before you showed up for yourself. You got so good at taking care of everyone else that receiving care started to feel unfamiliar, maybe even uncomfortable.
Then one quiet morning, a whisper arrives:
There has to be more than checking the boxes and making it through another day.
If that whisper found you, this retreat was written for you.
Sage & Radiance is a full week by the Pacific Ocean. It is for women who are done shrinking and ready to soften. It is built on one simple truth:
The second half of life isn’t about becoming younger. It’s about becoming more yourself.
Picture Your Arrival
Your driver winds you through the jungle-covered hills above Sayulita. The air changes. It’s warmer and softer, and it smells like salt and flowers. Then Haramara appears, perched above the sea with its own private beach.
Someone hands you a cool, fresh drink. A staff member who is warm and attentive greets you, and you feel your shoulders drop for the first time in months. You haven’t done anything yet. You have simply arrived.
You settle into your casita, an eco-luxury space that feels like a quiet embrace. You step outside and walk to the open-air dining room, where the infinity saltwater pool seems to melt into the horizon. The ocean stretches out in every direction. No one needs anything from you right now.
Imagine Your Days
You wake to birdsong and the slow, steady sound of the waves.
You move your body in yoga with the sea in front of you. The practice is nourishing and gentle. It meets you exactly where you are and honors every season your body has been through. Nothing here is a performance.
Breakfast is fresh, organic, and local. The food is made with care for every dietary need, and you feel it nourishing you from the inside out. Snacks, coffee, tea, and fresh juices are always there. A full bar serves tasty cocktails and smoothies when the mood strikes.
Afternoons belong to you. Sink into a hammock. Nap without guilt. Walk barefoot on warm sand. Read a book you’ve been “saving for later.” Or sit with your journal and finally hear your own thoughts again.
In the evenings, you gather with women who understand. You receive healing through sound, meditation, breath, and energy practices, guided by Mark and Lana. You’ll laugh until your cheeks hurt. You’ll cry if your heart needs to, and no one will flinch. You’ll rest in the kind of sisterhood you may not have known you were missing.

What You May Leave With
You won’t leave “fixed,” because you were never broken. You may leave with:
- A lighter heart and a quieter mind
- The permission you’ve been waiting for to rest, receive, and take up space
- Practices of breath, movement, and stillness that you can carry home
- Friendships with women who see you
- A clear, calm sense of who you are becoming
- The deep, steady knowing that this season of your life is a gift, not a decline
You won’t be older. You’ll be radiant. You’ll be wise, rooted, and at home in your own skin.

- You crave real connection, not small talk
- You’ve outgrown a version of your life and want to honor what’s next
