Supportive & Empowering
Retreat 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!

Meet your hosts
Desha met Em six years ago when Desha’s client invited her to a day-long women’s retreat. The air was filled with a smoky haze of Frankincense. In the dimly lit circle sat Em, ready to share her extensive knowledge on the healing power of plants.
The pair became fast friends traveling to Prague, Mexico and other spots dotted along the west and east coasts.
Many years ago the seed was planted to lead a magical retreat together, one full of self-discovery, dreams, beauty and creativity.
Having each led 9+ international retreats, they’ve decided it’s time to join forces.
Welcome to their first joint retreat.
It’s going to be EPIC.
The Retreat House
Lovely. Supportive. Friends.
I had so many ideas for pursuing a creative lifestyle but found I was moving around in circles and not working out where to focus my time and energy. Going to on retreat in such an inspiring and beautiful environment as San Miguel, with like minded women, was so liberating to say the least! I went home with an abundance of energy and clarification on my direction in moving forward and a new group of lovely supportive friends.

Exceeded Our Expectations
This retreat exceeded all of our expectations which were huge considering that last year was perfect! Going with the flow makes it work. We would definitely recommend this retreat to our biz buddies because we are leaving feeling revitalized, energized, clear, and totally inspired to take action. We are feeling the charge!

I am thankful
The Sweet Spot Style Retreat surpassed any and all expectations that I had. With Desha’s coaching+ workshops, I was able to get super clear & motivated about my business. She helped me solidify my brand message + create an organized plan for moving forward. In addition to learning a ton about social media, I could not think of a better environment to challenge myself. I’m so thankful to have been able to gain the clarity I was looking for, along with some wonderful new friendships.
