Elemental Goddess Retreat

This is more than a yoga retreat.

Your hosts will greet you on arrival at the beautiful and exclusive island resort of Xinalani Mexico.

Through yoga sessions and self-development workshops you will question and transform your internal workings.

Our guides for this Magick are Goddess archetypes or EARTH, AIR, FIRE & WATER.

You will become the alchemist of our own being and arise transformed and empowered and confident in your own desires and direction for your next steps in life.

Where super-women go for “time out”…

You work hard all day, being everything to everyone. You put your whole self into every project, every interaction, and every moment. At the end of the day you’re exhausted, collapsing on the couch, feeling like you just. can’t. even. This surviving b.s. is really getting to you. You want to thrive but you’re not even sure where to begin.

Meet your hosts…

Shasha Crow, a Spirit Rebel from the UK and Christa Bitner, a Rogue Nutritionist from the US, who met in the jungle of Belize. Between hammock time, river adventures, and a dip in the goddess pool, a deep friendship was born!

Shasha is a healer, yoga teacher, and intuitive guide who helps questioning souls find their spiritual home within so they can navigate life’s ups and downs with clarity and purpose. (Her spunky, wise spirit will inspire you to  unleash your inner goddess.)

Christa is The Food Therapist. She helps busy, ambitious women reclaim their energy and confidence so they have time for the things that matter most in their personal and professional lives. (She’s also really good at vacation, so you’re going to want her there!)

Both of these women have personal experience with the pattern of striving for perfection – followed by self-sabotage, leading to burnout. They have actively worked to regain their own energy and confidence through food, lifestyle, and spiritual practice, and both have personally experienced the power of retreat in creating lasting transformation.

Together, they share a mission to empower other women in doing the same. You can expect to be held in a kind, loving space infused with wisdom, laughter, and heartfelt connection. (Bring it on, gremlins!)

Is this you?

• You know what you “should” be doing but when a big project or deadline comes up, the kids are going in all directions, or your partner didn’t do the dishes (again) you say *eff-it* to healthy food, exercise, or self-care.
• Your expectations of yourself, in all areas of life, are higher than Mt. Everest, so no matter what, you can’t seem to meet them.
• You beat yourself up for getting cozy with your good friends, Ben & Jerry, binge-watching Grace & Frankie on Netflix, or eating popcorn for dinner.
• You find yourself saying, “I deserve this because I work so hard” but when you step on the scale or see the credit card bill you deflate faster than a carnival balloon.
• You just want everything to stop. The pressure of doing this, being that, and never getting anywhere has you pulling your hair out. Please, would somebody stop this ride? Where’s the exit?
• The idea of going away has you creating your movie-binge list for the plane (after all, where else do you have an excuse to ignore all of humanity and indulge)!

Imagine…

• Feeling calm, confident, and (dare I say) beautiful in your skin
• Having time and energy for what’s important in your life – romance, adventure, writing that novel, or watching your kid’s soccer games
• Possessing a deep sense of trust and connection with yourself so you can navigate life’s challenges
• Knowing you have a sacred space inside you so you can always access that “retreat” space

This is for you if…

• You’re busy being everything to everyone and your own self-care has been on the back burner
• You’re so exhausted at the end of the day you don’t have time or energy to connect with your partner or children
• You’re a busy, ambitious woman who aims for perfection and has reached or is heading for burnout
• You’re doing “all of the things” and yet you still hate what you see in the mirror
• You want to finally be free of that critical voice in your head so you can feel beautiful, sexy, and confident
• You want to tap into that part of yourself that knows how to laugh, play, and dance in the moon so you can enjoy your life again
• You have a feeling that life has to be more than “adult-ing” and you want to create a life you don’t need a vacation from
• You know slowing down and taking care of yourself is crucial to long-term health, yet you feel overwhelmingly guilty doing it
• Even if you were to set aside time for yourself, you would have NO IDEA what to do with that time; the thought of being idle launches you into a panic
• You’ve been feeling alone in your struggles and want to find support within a circle of sacred sisterhood

OK I’m in! Take me to Mexico!

We’re going on a journey…

Using the chakras as a guiding framework, each day will include yoga, connection to the natural elements, food relationship & self-care workshops, ritual and ceremony, delicious and nourishing meals, as well as plenty of free time to relax and integrate.

We will come together in a supportive circle of sacred sisterhood for transformation, healing, and rejuvenation. Using your food relationship as a portal for insight, we’ll examine food patterns, beliefs, and associations. Then we’ll look to see how that’s playing out in other areas of your life (after all, how you do one thing is how you do everything). We’ll illuminate where you’re stuck and why, then practice tools for healing and moving forward so you can live the live you know you’re meant to live!

Our destination…

• Walk away knowing why you sabotage and what to do about it
• Feel confident in your ability to nourish yourself in body, mind, and spirit
• Inspiration for creating your own food and spirit rituals at home
• A personal plan for maintaining your sanity once you’re back in the “real world”
• A clearer mind and a fuller heart so you can make decisions confidently and easily
• The ability to listen to your own intuition and your own body instead of conforming to what “they” say
• A strong sense of oneness with the collective sisterhood and how support can be found within it
• A sense of regeneration physically, emotionally and spiritually
• A readiness for what lies ahead
• A deeper understanding of working with the energies within and around you
