Return to Radiance Retreats are an exclusive offering for women who are ready to step out of the demands of daily life and return to their natural state of radiance, vitality, and inner alignment.

This is a curated experience for those who feel called to slow down, recalibrate, and reconnect with themselves on a deeper level within an environment of beauty, ease, and intentional care.

Set against the backdrop of sun, sand, and ocean, this retreat is designed as a full restoration of your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to support your return to balance, presence, and embodied truth.

Movement practices are intentionally designed to awaken life force energy and bring you back into your body with softness and strength, with Pilates being the core foundation of our workouts.

Your days unfold in a natural rhythm of spaciousness and experience. Slow, unhurried mornings for journaling, integration, and gentle embodiment practices flow into afternoons of curated excursions, ocean immersion, and time to rest in the sun. There is always permission to move at your own pace — whether that is expansion or deep rest.

Evenings are a blend of connection and aliveness. You’ll take part in intimate gatherings, shared laughter, music, movement, and moments of joy that bring you back into your sensual experience of life.

Throughout the retreat, you will be guided through transformational workshops designed to support deep inner clearing, emotional recalibration, and reconnection to your authentic self.

Return to Radiance is not an escape from life, but a return. A refined, restorative experience that brings you back into harmony with your body, your truth, and the quiet luxury of being fully alive.

Return to Radiance is held in Sayulita, Mexico. A beautiful and vibrant surf town with lots to experience and explore.

We’ll be staying in a private villa with pool with an ocean view in the north end, just a short walk into town and the beach. It has space for 6 in shared rooms with twin beds, and 2 private rooms with king beds. Exact location will be shared with retreat participants after booking.

Villas are subject to change dependent on availability or to reflect group occupancy.

We keep our retreats intimate with 6 women as we want to foster genuine and close relationships and friendships being nurtured for the time that we’re together. This is the perfect number to also navigate the town as a group with ease.

We find that this is size also supports personal support and one-on-one connections with Vanessa so that you can feel held through your journey. 

No, we’ll be doing 2 beginner lessons on our retreats where everyone will be learning from zero. We have expert instructors that will help you catch your first waves with confidence and have so much fun doing it. We’ll create a safe environment for you to practice and execute the basics, as well as guide more experienced surfers how to take their skills to the next level.
