Transformational Retreats
Experience a life-changing journey designed for queer women and gender expansive individuals to align, awaken, and ascend together.
1:1 Soul Support
Personalized therapeutic sessions to help you gently explore what’s rising—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally—so you can feel held and supported throughout your journey.
Healing Body Rituals
Daily practices to bring you home to your body: embodiment, breathwork, grounding yoga with a certified instructor, along with more exhilarating or creative offerings. This retreat has variety.
Wake up to ocean air, nourish your body with delicious meals, and sink into our peaceful beachside villa - the perfect place to let go and land softly.
Eat. Rest. Repeat.


Who Our Retreats are For
Queer connection. Embodied flow. Real support.
Heat & Honey is for queer, sapphic, and gender-expansive folks over 27 who want more than just a beach vacation. This is for those who value depth and fun, community and independence, structure and spontaneity.
Whether you're coming solo (most do!) or with a friend or partner, you'll be surrounded by people who share your values, curiosity, and desire for meaningful connection. Think: beachside yoga, ATV adventures, sunset boat rides, group laughs, local culture and time to recharge your nervous system.
This experience was created by facilitators with over a decade of experience producing transformative events. It includes one-on-one support from a licensed therapist to help you feel grounded and supported throughout the week. We’ll also be offering unique workshops centered around sapphic sensuality, embodiment, and personal expression.
If you're looking for a retreat that’s thoughtfully designed, queer-centered, and rooted in real connection, not spiritual performance, you’ll feel right at home here.
