June 4-7, 2026
We know, you are totally that woman who is managing your world beautifully, you've probably been doing that for longer than you can remember. We see you.
You're capable, responsible, and deeply devoted to what you've built in your home , your community, with your health goals, and in your business life...and yet, you don’t often give yourself full permission to stop holding everything together.
You may be someone who:
-
Is reliable, competent, and often the one others lean on
-
Has learned to stay alert, organized, and “on” to keep it all going
-
Carries a high level of responsibility while quietly sidelining your own needs
It's okay! No shame, just awareness, and time to change it up. If the above has "that's me" written all over it, then this restorative and immersive retreat understands your life. This is for you.
The intention that guides the experience.
We open the retreat with a gentle intention exploration. Not about goals or fixing anything, but about pausing long enough to notice what’s actually true for you right now.
You’ll be invited to reflect on how you want to feel in your life, how you want to respond when things get full or loud, and how you want to move through your days and decisions with a little more ease. It’s less about striving, and more about remembering what matters to you beneath the momentum.
That intention quietly weaves its way through the entire retreat, grounding each experience in embodiment rather than effort, and offering a touchstone you can return to long after you’ve gone home.
The Location: Luxe Lounge in the Desert
Set in Paradise Valley, the home is surrounded by desert views and wide, open skies. Outdoor fire settings and cozy gathering areas invite relaxed evenings, while a playful pool offers space for rest, movement, and connection.
Inside, the open-concept layout includes comfortable living spaces, game rooms, and a spacious kitchen that flows onto balconies and gathering areas. Just 15 miles from Phoenix, the setting offers easy access while still feeling private, quiet, and tucked away from it all.
Step Into Permission to Pause
Set against the desert backdrop of Paradise Valley, this four-day experience is designed to help you step out of constant output and return to your own rhythm. Create space in your calendar for time that is intentionally yours.
Your retreat experience includes:

To return home with clarity, practical tools, and a renewed sense of ownership over prioritizing yourself.

retreat curator + host
Hello! I'm Holly. I support women in business + badass babes as a retreat curator, coordinator, magnetizer + healing conduit. I thrive by living in bold magic, with intention + being the ripple in this life.
I've been intentionally creating + holding space for women since 2001 through holistic bodywork, immersive retreats, and events/gatherings. For much of my practice and path (from 2001-2016) I was a holistic bodywork practitioner blending psycho-structural balancing and therapeutic massage with energy work. I studied at IPSB School of Integrative Psycho Structural Bodywork and Massage School of Santa Monica, completing 600+ hours of training. My time at IPSB included sessions in cellular recall therapy under the instruction of Joan Wulfsohn, a student of Carlos Castanada. Joan is one of my favorite teachers/guides to date, her work had a profound affect on my life by helping me access memories and trauma on a cellular level. In 2015 I completed my Ceremonies for Communities training + certification with Laura Vesta and in 2021 I became a First Degree Practicioner in the Usui Reiki Ryoho Tradition of Natural Healing, with attunements from Usui Reiki Master & Teacher, Karly Ridings. I'll be pursuing Level II and III training in 2023.
Once upon a time I dreamed up the Radical Sister Circle where I facilitated accelerated manifestation groups with women wanting to break through barriers to their next big thing. In 2020 I held my first retreat, Connect + Create in Oahu, and launched With Soul Retreats from that experience. I have a deep need to retreat as a way to recalibrate my soul and believe others benefit from this intentional time set aside as well. I've since held retreats in Todos Santos at Pachamama Mexico, and at various locations throughout Oregon.
Basically, I love to do anything + everything that helps women thrive, myself included! My intention is to create, gather, and connect in sacred spaces worldwide. I'll be your curator and conduit for Vida por Diseño and assure you that I have crafted an unforgettable experience for us all.
