SheDesigns Retreat

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

The #1 Travel Destination in the World, as Voted by Condé Nast Traveler

March 9-15, 2026

Hey!!! It’s Christine Martin and Desha Peacock, hosts of the SheDESIGNS Podcast, and we want to invite you to a beautifully curated experience in our favorite pueblo mágico.

This retreat is designed to inspire female small business owners to find their magic by connecting with others who live their lives by design.

Step away from the daily grind and embrace moments of pampering, stillness, and connection with yourself and others as you recharge and realign with what lights you up.

 

SMALL BIZ OWNERS HAVE A LOT TO THINK ABOUT. THIS IS YOUR TIME TO TAKE A BREAK, TO PAUSE, REFLECT AND grow your vision.

 

The SheDESIGNS SMA Retreat is an experience that:

  • Is curated to inspire you in and outside of your business.

  • Will help you reconnect with your fire from within and remind you of what lights you up.

  • Offers a pause from the daily grind through moments of pampering, being in nature, and stillness.

Highlights

She DESIGNS Panel

The 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 Tour

One of the highlights of this retreat is our exclusive home 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.

Creative Workshop

We all crave more time to get creative! In this hands-on workshop, we’ll learn something new while having fun together.

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. Enjoy serene moments in our private courtyard and gardens, the perfect place to reflect on your next big thing. And if you’re in to it, pamper yourself with an in-house massage.

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.

It’s also known for as a global hot spot for interior and architectural inspiration, featuring stunning spaces that blend traditional Mexican craftsmanship with modern aesthetics.

San Miguel also holds a special place for us (Christine & Desha). It’s where we met and hit it off over design, coffee, and life in Mexico. This magical town not only inspired our 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 traditional San Miguel aesthetic, lovely outdoor spaces 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, we met in person in San Miguel de Allende.

Over the years we 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!
