The Experience
At this retreat experience, you'll be invited into an enchanted sanctuary where the forest becomes your temple, the waterfalls become your prayers, and every winding trail leads you closer to yourself. Nestled on acres of lush land in Silverton, Oregon, you'll spend your days wandering beneath towering evergreens, chasing hidden waterfalls, gathering wildflowers, and remembering the quiet joy of simply being alive. Here, Mother nature is not just the backdrop it is your greatest teacher, and reflection of whom you really are.
Surrounded by a circle of kindred women, you'll rediscover the beauty of sisterhood through shared laughter, soulful conversations, nourishing meals, and moments of sacred stillness beneath the trees. Together, you'll move through yoga, meditation, sound healing, creative endeavors, and ceremonial gatherings designed to awaken your intuition, soften your heart, and reconnect you with the magick that has always lived within you.
You'll soak in natural hot springs beneath open skies, dance barefoot through meadows, weave flower crowns, and embrace the playful spirit of the woodland fae as you frolic through moss covered forests and sparkling rivers. This is a retreat that celebrates wonder…the kind that reminds you to delight in the smallest moments, to wander without needing a destination, and to trust the rhythm of your own wild soul.
As the days unfold, you'll release what no longer belongs to you and make space for a deeper sense of presence, pure bliss, and freedom of the expectation chains. Through the healing embrace of Oregon's ancient forests, cascading waterfalls, and the unwavering support of sisterhood, you'll remember what it feels like to live in harmony with the earth, with your spirit, and with the woman you are becoming.
You will leave carrying more than memories, you'll leave with a heart softened by beauty, connections rooted in authenticity, and a renewed sense of wonder that follows you long after you've returned home. The forest will forever whisper your name, reminding you that there is magick in slowing down, healing together, giving yourself room to play, and allowing yourself to bloom exactly as nature intended.

Malexa
Facilitator
“Malexa is a passionate directional facilitator for the upcoming “Sisterhood by the Sea” retreat, where she’ll be supporting you through every step of your journey, ensuring your needs—big or small—are met with care and attention. With a heart for community and supporting women, she’s dedicated to creating a space where connections can thrive. When she’s not helping others discover their inner strength, Malexa can be found lost in a good book—especially if it’s a fantasy novel—hitting the slopes snowboarding in the mountains, or exploring new places around the world. A proud cat mom, she also loves singing and cherishes the bonds with her family and friends, who are at the core of her life. For Malexa, the magic of this retreat is in fostering an empowering sisterhood and creating unforgettable memories by the sea.”
