Fall Retreat 2024
Reclaim the Goddess
Feminine Energy Retreat + Womb Initiation
Sept 19-23, 2024 in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico
Sister,
This is Reclaim The Goddess, a Women’s Retreat to awaken your Feminine and reconnect to your true nature as a woman.
The intention we are calling into the space is wholeness – the capacity to shine your brightest light, and also descend into your deepest shadows to find integration of your whole being. Integration when it comes not only to your light and shadow, but also your nature as human and spirit, your concept of good and bad, and your embodiment of feminine and masculine.
We also call in the intention of authenticity and vulnerability. In this space you have full permission to be exactly as you are. No need to fake anything, pretend that you’re something you’re not, or feel ashamed of experiences you’ve been through. When women come together with a common intention we open a healing Portal that goes beyond what we can imagine.
If you are called to join us, you’re in for a treat. Visualize a long weekend ceremony in sisterhood and community to celebrate the Fall Equinox and prepare for the Winter-time. We will be working directly with the elements, and the energy associated to the Feminine, specifically releasing the shadow and integrating the light.
Retreat to soften, surrender, and receive, knowing you are worthy of time and space devoted only to yourself. An opportunity to quiet the world around you, and listen to the voice within.
Receive the gift of being with other women who also came to ‘Unbecome’ and allow their most authentic version to emerge.
Receive the gift of living in ceremony for a whole weekend, and through it realize that you can bring this reality to your daily life.
Receive the gift of being in contact with nature, not only around you, but also allowing the Great Mother to activate a knowing deep within.
Why Retreat?
The Space
You will be nestled in a magical, high vibrational Retreat Center located between El Yunque National Rainforest and the turquoise ocean waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The grounds here are filled with lush vegetation, tropical fruit trees, and singing birds.
The space is the perfect balance between luxury and nature. Each bedroom has a nature spirit associated with it and is beautified with custom murals to bring the spirit alive. Most rooms are single occupancy, but if you are coming with a friend, let us know to locate you in a bigger room together.
Room selection is first come first serve.
If you’re local, the space is only 30 minutes from the Metro Area. If you are flying-in it’s about 30 minutes from the airport, and you can choose between carpool (which will be coordinated by us), or renting a car. Exact location will be provided upon booking.

“I am so thankful for you holding space for us women to come together. I feel so lighthearted after this weekend and rejuvenated with all the wisdom from this retreat. I am beyond excited to implement these tools into my life. I appreciate your vibratious energy so much. I thank you for your guidance and the inspiration you give me and others to look within, to share, to express, to love one another. I knew going to the retreat was the right choice for me, I took in every moment and I fully immersed myself into this experience and I am so glad I did because I walked away with so much more than I went in with. I was able to be vulnerable and feel safe. You make us all feel beautiful in our own way and you helped me see that beauty in myself.”

“Growing up as a high achieving AfroLatina immigrant woman in the US, I learned that setting and chasing challenging goals and milestones was what success was. I didn’t know myself, but I knew what the world wanted from me: excellence. So I excelled. But at a certain point, something else was calling to me, and after a devastating breakup, it was finding my way to my feminine that healed me. I read books and practiced on my own, but it wasn’t until 2023 that I started discovering the power of healing in community. It was with that focus that I decided to join the Fall Into Your Power Retreat in November 2023. I came in with the expectation that I would learn even more about my feminine, but what I experienced was validation of how much I’d already embodied that within myself. The feminine rituals, storytelling, movement practices, and healing foods both challenged me and uplifted me even further. I left feeling content knowing that I was so on the right path, and that it was becoming time for me to shift from healing to healer, from learner to teacher. It was such a beautiful and magnetic experience, something I’d recommend to any woman struggling with feeling powerful in her feminine, both her lightness and her darkness. Thank you for helping me realize an experience I’d only read about.”

“I was able to unlock blockages and start to see myself for who I am meant to be rather than how I was showing up.”

“The experience was all very intentional and much needed medicine of how our ancestors used to gather to be in community and sacredness.”

It means that although you will have time for rest and renewal, you are mainly here to do the work, the inner work, the deep work, and perhaps what you continue avoiding back home. This is not a cookie-cutter retreat where we do Yoga in the morning, and then you’re on your own. On the contrary, every experience here has a teaching, the whole weekend is a Ceremony. Sound like you? Join us!

Because we attune to the Feminine within, each day might be slightly different. The intention is to start every day with a Morning Ritual including internal check-in, meditation, breathwork, and movement, continue to breakfast, followed by either an offsite experience or a workshop. The afternoons will be more fluid depending on the energy.
As some of these experiences include a full immersion in nature, the schedule is fluid and flexible, and will be modified as needed.
-
Please, plan to arrive between 2:00pm - 4:00pm on Thursday the 19th and depart between 4:00pm - 6:00pm on Sunday the 22nd.
If you’re from outside of Puerto Rico plan to fly in Wednesday or early Thursday (depending on where you’re coming from), and fly out Monday. Istara Nicole can help with hotel recommendations, and any other logistical detail.
-
All meals during the Retreat are included, starting with dinner on Thursday and ending with lunch on Sunday. On days when we are offsite, you will also receive a meal and snacks on-the-go. All meals provided during the weekend will be vegetarian. This is important for the work we are doing. Please feel free to bring extra snacks if that feels aligned with you.
-
No, this is your responsibility, but Istara Nicole will serve as the facilitator. Closer to the date of the retreat, a group chat will be created and carpool and/or another form of transportation will be coordinated.
-
You will receive a full list of items you need to bring to the retreat through email during the month of April. For ceremonies we will wear flowy skirts or dresses to honor the Feminine. Keep that in mind.
