Retreat Summary
What if what’s been waiting in midlife isn’t more healing – but more expression?
Brilliance is a 4-day retreat for women in midlife who are ready to move beyond self-management and into self-trust, joy, and embodied radiance. Set in the same nourishing landscape of Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Brilliance is an invitation to gather with other women at this life stage and remember what comes alive when we are deeply seen and reflected by our peers.
WHAT IS BRILLIANCE
This retreat is not about fixing or reinventing ourselves. It is about inhabiting what remains once we stop orienting around expectation and obligation. Together, we create a field of connection, witnessing, and shared presence – a pod of sisters who name one another’s brilliance and make room for it to be lived.
Brilliance is a transition into the next chapter not through effort, but through belonging, affirmation, and collective remembering.

Itinerary
Four days of wellness, connection, and rejuvenation— carefully blended to restore your mind, body, and spirit.
DAY 1
| Day One: Arrival | Settle into sacred time. Breathe. Release. We begin with a welcome circle and intention-setting to anchor our time together. |
DAY 2
| Day Two: Shimmer | Just as the sacred lotus emerges from the mud, so do we begin to recognize our own beauty beginning to glisten in the sunlight of our own expression. Together we will define and embrace how the challenges of life have birthed our brilliance. |
DAY 3
| Day Three: Shine | Having emerged from the mud, today is about naming the conditions in which we thrive. In the safety of sisterhood, we will create structures, practices, and precepts in which we can truly shine. |
DAY 4
| Day Four: Radiate | As we complete our time together, we’ll take a moment of unbridled joy and gratitude for each other, ourselves, and all that life brings. We will return to our worlds, with a renewed sense of self and the confidence to radiate our souls’ wildest expression. |
