Highlights
She DESIGNS Panel
She DESIGNS panel will feature three female small business owners who’ve navigated the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. This engaging session will feature candid conversations on the theme of resilience- a quality every female small business owner possesses and continually refines. Challenges are inevitable on the entrepreneurial journey, but what sets us apart is our ability to rise, adapt, and keep moving forward. Following the panel, there will be an open Q&A. Enjoy sips and snacks while you learn, connect, and get inspired by the stories and experiences of fellow women in business.
Home + Hotel Tours
One of the highlights of this retreat is our exclusive home and hotel tours, showcasing the best of San Miguel’s renowned design scene. Known as a global hot spot for interior and architectural inspiration, San Miguel offers stunning spaces that blend traditional Mexican craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. These tours celebrate the artistry and vision of local women designers and entrepreneurs, offering an up-close look at how they’ve brought their creative visions to life.
Soothing Down Time
This retreat also offers soothing downtime with a special emphasis on relaxation and rejuvenation. Immerse yourself in the healing Mayan waters of the hot springs, where you can unwind and feel restored. Additionally, enjoy serene moments under the stars in our private rooftop jacuzzi, creating the perfect blend of luxury and tranquility.
Supportive & Empowering
The SheDESIGNS mini retreat in Hudson was fantastic. It embodied the meaning of the podcast. At the end of the week, I felt enlightened, motivated, and relaxed. I also left with deep and meaningful connections with all of the other women. I look forward to seeing what and who are part of future retreats.

About San Miguel
San Miguel de Allende is a stunning colonial town in central Mexico that is rated by Conde Nast as the #1 travel destination in the world! Writers, artists and other creatives come here to be inspired by the culture, vibrant colors and spring-like weather.
San Miguel de Allende also holds a special place in the heart of the SheDESIGNS hosts, Desha Peacock and Christine Martin. It’s where it all began! Christine was living there when Desha visited to lead retreats, and the two hit it off over design, coffee, and life in Mexico. This magical town not only inspired their friendship but also became the birthplace of SheDESIGNS.
Retreat House
The retreat house. It’s an important container for the retreat experience. We chose this as our retreat house because of it’s intentional design, rooftop jacuzzi and prime location.
Exceeded Our Expectations
The SheDESIGNS retreat in Hudson, NY was exactly the mini escape I needed- full of beauty, creativity, connection & inspiration. From painting & candle making to exploring local shops and enjoying amazing food, every moment sparked something new. I left re-energized and, within a week, found myself stepping into a new studio workspace & forming a new business partnership.”

When women get together…
MAGIC HAPPENS.
Where it all began
Many years ago, Christine Martin and Desha Peacock, your retreat hosts, met in person in San Miguel de Allende where Christine lived at the time.
Over the years they collaborated on all kinds of creative projects and from that friendship the SheDESIGNS podcast was born.
We thought SMA would be the perfect location for our first week-long SheDESIGNS retreat.
What kind of magic will you create here?!?
Magical
My word for the weekend on the SheDESIGNS Retreat was magical. The theme was resilience and the feeling was worth, inspiration and self care. The setting was the perfect place to transform all of us, and to encourage us to do and feel and think in ways we don’t get to during the routine hustle and bustle of every day life. Message for all women: take risks, sign up for things, surround yourself with like-minded women, and never stop learning!
