March 23-28, 2023 | Joshua Tree California

Waking up to the stillness of the desert, as the sun slowly rises in the sky, casting a pink and orange glow over the desert, you notice the silence. Without the noise of the everyday hustle-and-bustle you get to let your hair down and feel the cool breeze of the morning sunrise over the desert landscape while sipping your coffee and feeling gratitude for the peaceful experience.

While immersing yourself in open-minded and sophisticated conversation to expand your mind, you already sense a belonging amongst the other women as you are able to feel the bonding of heart and soul…

…it’s just what you needed to restore your enthusiasm for life.

You know that you are amongst your tribe: sharing meals, laughing, crying and connecting is exactly what you desired for a reset so that you can emerge as the more vibrant you.

Soaking in the rhythm of nature and the energy of Joshua Tree, you allow your senses to become overwhelmed by the sounds, smells and tastes of each experience.

As the sun begins to set, you take a deep breath and close your eyes, letting the tranquility of the desert wash over you. You savor the silence, feeling free from the noise of the everyday grind. You’re grateful for this opportunity to unplug and focus on yourself. The starry night sky fills with millions of twinkling stars close enough to touch and wrap yourself in. The view is a reminder for you to live more authentically, laugh more, and to just live in the moment.

Re-discover and remember your dreams and desires through an immersion of senses so that you can return home and begin implementing strategies to become more YOU.

Using the 5 senses, connect with other like-minded women and discuss your true desires while being guided to find your truth so that you will begin to shed the old you and emerge having a new outlook on life.

Learn to take back your voice by creating a space for your heart and soul to reconnect through guided self-discovery, self-care practices and nurturing your soul in nature so that you can live courageously and take off the mask you’ve been wearing once and for all.

Experience guided coaching, slowing down and reconnecting with nature to help you unravel your thirst for life so that you will have the motivation and courage to chase after your dreams.

Discover what gets your blood pumping and soul jumping with other like-minded women so that you can infuse more vibrancy and adventure into your everyday life.

Let your hair down and speak to your soul through journaling, hiking, nature, fire ceremony and sound healing so that your ‘wild side’ can have the stage and you feel more authentic in your own skin.

Gain a better understanding of how to connect with other women through cacao ceremony, meal sharing and compassion so that you remember your brilliance and beauty to connect on a deeper level with women in your ‘tribe’

This looks amazing...

The Venue

The mountains are waiting with open arms, so get lost in their embrace while exploring your creativity through journaling, hiking, and movement. The mighty mountains represent freedom and self-expression; perfect environments for releasing those old fears that hold us back on our journey towards happiness!

Joshua Tree is an energy vortex that entices you to find peace within your soul. While sitting amongst the picturesque landscape and breathing in the sacred energy, know that the magic of the desert will coax you into feelings of balance and rekindling of your sacred body.

While gathered around a fire pit under the desert night sky, explore your inner desires amongst the heavens while having an unhindered view of some world-class stargazing. As the sun rises over the desert, the warmth of the sun sets on your skin to create a sense of renewal and rebirth for a deeper connection to self.

Each room will have you feeling like you stepped into a luxurious getaway with views of where the land meets the sky.

With 3.5 acres of unblemished land, you will find peace of mind while sipping on coffee on the patio or allowing the cool breeze to tickle your senses in the open land. You will find your space and serenity amongst the sand and Joshua trees.

Enjoy a luxurious dip in the 7-person spa under the stars so you can relax and unwind before slipping into your bed for a restful night’s sleep.

With 4000 sf of indoor living space, you will be confident in knowing that you can escape from everyone when needed or gather around the rooftop patio or outdoor firepit to connect with others.

And when you are ready for restorative movement, find yourself in the indoor or outdoor yoga chalet to release some energy, connect with breath or go deeper into meditation and optional plant medicine

The Cuisine

With two spacious dining rooms and chef-prepared meals, you will have the chance to unwind and connect with the other guests while eating high-vibrational, healthy food. No hustle and bustle. No kids or spouse. Just you and delicious food to nurture your palette and soul.

Your Hosts

Hi, my name is Traci Hill and I provide the space for people to take back their health and build a more resilient life through a positive mindset, and overcoming emotional trauma and setbacks. I am no stranger to adversity and hard work. From my own professional and personal experience, I am able to help others live their best lives and equip them with tools to overcome hurdles while expressing authenticity.

When I was 25, I was struck with the devastating diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). But I was too determined to let this disease get the best of me so I fought back by ingesting as much knowledge and education as possible. With my Masters in Kinesiology, Holisitic Nutrition Certificate, and successfully understanding the key component to a balanced life – releasing trapped emotions and stress – I was able to free myself of any diagnosis. I began to live symptom free.

As I began using the Emotion Code, I started to see major shifts in not only my physical health but my emotional/mental health as well. I was able to view hardships in life in a different, more mature way. I wouldn’t shut down or internalize things as much. I started to express myself in difficult situations.

And then I went through a horrific divorce situation. I was put in jail for 24 hours by my now-ex-husband (classic narcissist symptoms) and separated from my 2 children. This put me at major risk of succumbing to my MS symptoms. I could have easily gone into victim mode. But I chose to fight using the knowledge I had already gained.

I found ways to create new thought patterns so that I would have my own physical and emotional sovereignty over myself. I chose not to be a ‘victim’ of my circumstances and rise above my situation.

By experimenting and soul searching, I created a new reality for myself and understand what it means to truly love oneself and the world around you, to live in vibrancy and let your authenticity shine as a beacon for others.

And now, over 10 years later, I am happier and healthier than I have ever been. I know what it means to truly love and respect myself. I choose, each day, each moment, how to feel. I know that I am the creator of my world. I know that I can be authentic and still be loved. I know that nature provides me with the answers. I have created a tribe of friends who are supportive, uplifting and beautiful souls. And I want the same for you!!

I want you to learn how to tap into that energetic connection and return back to your heart center, become the light you were meant to be, and rediscover your soul’s purpose and passion.

Hi! My name is Sarah Joyce and I have a mission to help people release stored trauma that has been held in the body. I’ve experienced personal heartache and trauma. After a divorce, my entire world shattered around me and I fell into a deep depression. I developed a coping mechanism early on in life on how to compartmentalize all feelings so that I wouldn’t have to cope with what I was feeling. After becoming a Chicago Firefighter, I had to step into masculine energy to manage my job and the people I worked with in the firehouse. I never wanted to look weak or show emotions. Shoving down feelings became the norm for many years.

I then entered into another toxic relationship and slowly became a shell of myself. I was broken and felt I had nowhere to turn. The only choice I had was to face my fears, my trauma and my feelings. It was immensely scary.

All of these emotions that were held inside my cells were also causing physical symptoms that doctors couldn’t explain. I tried all types of allopathic and natural remedies. But nothing seemed to keep the symptoms at bay.

The Universe gave me direction and by sheer luck I discovered movement therapy by Human Garage. It has helped me to feel self-compassion, express my wants over needs, express my emotions and, most importantly, to release the stuck emotions.

As I discover hidden layers of myself, I have learned to forgive myself and situations. I can now move through the exercises and know that my physical body can represent my internal compass of love and joy.

I am excited to share my journey and practice with you and help you release the stress and anxiety of your everyday life.
