Sweet Spot Style Interiors Retreat
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
The #1 Travel Destination in the World, as Voted by Condé Nast Traveler
January 2 - 8, 2023
Sorry, this retreat is SOLD OUT!
Join me, and an intimate group of design lovers, on a visually stunning journey to San Miguel de Allende that will leave you rejuvenated and inspired!
The Sweet Spot Style Interiors Retreat is designed specifically for creative/entrepreneurial women whose business relates to design / home décor. San Miguel is an interior lover’s dream come true. Although known for its art and writing scene, San Miguel is quickly becoming an epicenter for design. This retreat is perfect if you are an interior designer, stylist, interiors blogger/influencer or you have an online or offline décor-related shop.
Meander through the cobblestone streets filled with lush courtyards beyond beautifully adorned doors, allow yourself to melt away watching the sunset on our private rooftop terrace and feel the energy pulsating through one of Mexico’s most charming towns.
You’ll have time to reflect, to bond with an intimate group of like-minded women, to get clear on your life/ business intentions and to make an action plan to focus on your next big thing. We’ll also spend time creating content while visiting some of the most exquisite and diverse spaces in San Miguel. You’ll learn some powerful strategies to help you gain visibility to attract your ideal client. Our days will include a balanced mix of scheduled Sweet Spot Style workshops, as well as plenty of time to process, rest, play and explore this culturally vibrant city.
Home Tours + Sourcing
For this retreat only, we will have the opportunity to go inside a variety of San Miguel’s most amazing homes. Get your cameras ready!
Beyond our home tours, we’ll also visit some of San Miguel’s best design stores, boutique hotels and restaurants for inspiration. For those of you who are looking to source high quality artisanal goods, we’ll visit a variety of makers- from high end designers to my favorite local textile and rug makers in the markets. We’ll also help you arrange shipping for those bigger items that won’t fit in your suitcase.
Content Creation
Get ready for some major content creation for your social media channels, blog or newsletter. This town is full of gorgeous design and we are gonna capture it together. With an audience of 33k on the gram, I've used IG as a tool to attract my ideal client and then capture my most intimate community on my email list where we talk life and business.
Get Featured
No matter your business, we all need visibility in this crowded market. In this workshop, we’ll pinpoint the best tools to leverage your expertise to get you in front of your ideal clients through digital marketing and PR. I’ll share my strategy on how to get featured on your fav podcasts and magazines in order to gain visibility and elevate your brand.
Desha was a great facilitator. She helped me through a process that allowed me to get my thoughts and desires in order. Being with this group of women felt so supportive and empowering. This week has given me focus and a clear action plan that I can’t wait to implement. In fact, I’ve already got my next interior style workshop planned out! I would definitely recommend this retreat. I’ve already signed up to come back next year!

As you continue walking downhill through the market you’ll reach the Mercado de Artesanias, a collection of stands displaying tin mirrors, hand-woven shawls, embroidered linens, hand-painted pottery & the latest folk-art trends. Look for the shop with oilcloth bags as you exit the market at Calle Loreto―inside you’ll find placemats, cosmetic cases, and more.
Not far from the Mercado is La Fabrica Aurora, one of San Miguel’s most unique destinations, a beautiful art & design center housed in a former textile factory from the turn-of-the century. Here you’ll find working artist studios, contemporary art galleries, ageless antiques, unique furniture, textiles, home goods, handmade jewelry/clothing, & gourmet restaurants. There are several cafes and endless photo opps.

This retreat helped me get really clear on what I needed to do and I have followed through with my stronger ‘why’ intact. I’ve put a lot of focus on mindset and action and feel more balanced in that way now than ever. I’m moving forward with more confidence, determination and momentum than I’ve had in a long time.
