The Higher Self Retreat

Sedona, Arizona | September 25–28, 2025

A 4-day all-inclusive retreat to embody the woman your soul came here to be.

Imagine this…

You arrive in Sedona, the air warm and laced with sacred stillness.
Red rocks rise around you like ancient guardians, holding space for the woman you’re becoming.
You breathe deeper than you have in months.

You're greeted with open arms and soul-deep smiles.
The energy feels familiar—like you’ve finally landed where you were always meant to be.

You drop your bags, your roles, your expectations… and sink into presence.
Bare feet on the earth.
Heart cracked open.
Laughter echoing across the canyon.

You move your body to the rhythm of your truth.
You cry. You release. You remember.
You sip warm cacao beneath the stars, sing with your sisters, and dance like no one's watching (but we all are—and we're cheering you on).
You feel held—in your fullness, in your softness, in your power.

Each breath, each moment, each ceremony calls you closer…
Closer to your higher self.
Closer to the woman you came here to be.

And when you leave, you're not the same.
You're clearer. Softer. Wilder.
Rooted in your knowing.
Radiant in your truth.
Alive in every sense of the word.

This is the energy the energy of the Higher Self Retreat…

Over these four days, you’ll be held in sacred space with a circle of powerful women who are walking this same path — ready to rise, release, and return to their truth.

This Retreat Is for you if…

You know you’re on the edge of something powerful…
You can feel the shift coming — you just needs space to breathe, to remember, to rise.

🌿 You’re a deep feeler — someone who feels life intensely and wants to stop apologizing for it. You’ve done healing work, but you’re ready for something more embodied, more real, more sacred.

🔥 You’re craving connection — not surface-level small talk, but real, heart-centered sisterhood. You want to be witnessed. You want to be met. You want to remember how powerful it is to be surrounded by women who see you.

🌀 You’re at a crossroads — maybe you're stepping into a new season, letting go of an old identity, or hearing the whisper that it’s time to finally become her—the version of you you’ve been visioning but haven’t fully stepped into yet.

💃 You’re ready to reconnect with your body — not to “fix” it, but to feel it. To soften into it. To move with it. To dance, to scream, to rest, to let it speak to you again.

🌙 You crave the sacred — ritual, ceremony, ancient practices that awaken something within. You want to unplug from the chaos of the outside world and drop into your inner world—your wisdom, your womb, your wild.

👑 You want more — not in a material way, but in a soul way. More ease. More joy. More aliveness. More you.

It’s for the woman who…

✨ Is ready to meet her higher self — and stay with her
✨ Wants to feel safe to cry, to laugh, to twerk, to roar
✨ Feels like she’s been holding everyone and is finally ready to be held
✨ Is done trying to “do” her healing alone
✨ Knows her next evolution requires community, ceremony, and surrender

If something in your body whispered yes while reading this…
She’s already waiting for you.

♡ TESTIMONIALS

  • “Attending Alyssa’s women’s retreat came at a pivotal time in my life, amidst one of the biggest shifts I’ve ever experienced. 

    During this retreat, I felt profoundly safe to share, to be held, to be seen, and supported in ways my soul deeply needed. 

    From the somatic embodiment practices to the connection workshops and sacred stillness, every moment was intentional and healing. 

    The nourishing sisterhood allowed me to soften, to receive, and to begin mending long-held sister wounds. 

    Alyssa held such a beautifully empowering space with grace and presence. 

    I’m deeply grateful to have been part of this sacred journey— and I absolutely

     cannot wait to attend another one of her retreats❤️‍🔥” -Stephanie Bard

  • “When I arrived at the Sedona Retreat, I was tired—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I had been pouring myself into everyone around me—serving, giving, helping—yet I felt depleted and alone in my journey. I didn’t realize how much I needed this space until I stepped into it.

    From the moment I arrived, I was embraced—literally and emotionally. I was greeted with warm hugs, heartfelt smiles, and intentional gifts—a bracelet, an eye mask, a beautiful notebook and pen, and even a rose. These weren’t just things; they were symbols of the love and care woven into every moment of the retreat.

    Throughout the weekend, I felt truly seen and heard. I was surrounded by women who welcomed me exactly as I was. The retreat created space to pause, reflect, and just be. From meditations and sound baths to deep journaling and soulful conversations, every experience invited me to ask myself, “Am I OK? What do I really need?”

    For the first time in a long while, I was able to tune into my body and spirit. I began to feel emotions I had been running past on autopilot. I connected to the parts of me I had been neglecting—the parts that craved grounding, clarity, and joy.

    By the end of the retreat, something within me had shifted. I was able to release fear and welcome a sense of freedom I hadn’t felt in a while. I left with a renewed commitment to myself—inviting more play, fun, and deep joy into my everyday life.

    This retreat wasn’t just a getaway. It was a return to myself.” -Jazzael Taylor

  • “Attending the Sedona retreat was nothing short of transformative. From the moment I arrived at the most peaceful retreat house, I felt safe. With our first opener, I immediately knew how seen and deeply held I was. Alyssa, who hosted the space, created an environment that invited softness, vulnerability, and connection.

    Through somatic movement and breathwork, I experienced a true return to self—learning to regulate my nervous system while surrounded by like-minded women I’ll truly never forget.

    It was more than a retreat—it was a reclamation. A sacred space to reset and come back to the wild within. Healing became possible through sisterhood, stillness, and soul. I can honestly say I will never forget my time there and how it began my healing journey.

    Since the retreat, I’ve joined Alyssa’s Higher Self Club, and it’s something I genuinely look forward to each month!” -Lara Carothers

  • “This experience was truly beautiful — something deeply sacred and soul-nourishing. It was more than just a gathering; it was a return to self, held in the warm embrace of sisterhood. There was space to go inward, to meet parts of yourself that are tender, raw, and real. It was both confronting and breathtaking in the most transformative way. I felt completely safe to explore, to grow, and to simply be — fully present and seen. 10/10, wholeheartedly recommend. Alyssa holds space like no one else — a true, intuitive guide who leads with so much love and wisdom.” -Natasha Suely

May you arrive here not as who you think you should be,
but as the truth of who you are — raw, radiant, real.
May the sacred red earth beneath your feet remind you
that you are always held, always supported, always guided.

May your heart feel safe to soften.
May your body feel free to express.
May your soul feel seen — in all its depth, all its beauty, all its becoming.

I pray you laugh louder than you have in years.
That you cry without shame.
That you remember your body is not something to fix,
but a vessel of wisdom, pleasure, and power.

May you feel the warmth of sisterhood like a balm to old wounds.
May you recognize yourself in the eyes of another woman.
And may you finally exhale the breath you’ve been holding for far too long.

You are not broken. You are not behind.
You are exactly where you are meant to be.
And your higher self?
She’s not far away. She’s been here all along —
patiently waiting for you to remember.

May this retreat awaken what’s been dormant,
restore what’s been tired,
and ignite what’s been calling you forth.

You are magic. You are medicine.
You are the one you’ve been waiting for.

And so it is.

I love you

-Alyssa
