• "BOW retreat was so beautiful, so intentional, and so powerful! I loved how the facilitators loved on us during our time there. I felt so welcomed to just be me, no right or wrong way to be. Everyone just hyped everyone up and I felt so connected with myself and the women around me so quickly, it was beautiful. I can't wait for the next one!"

Are you ready?

Our first Retreat of 2024 will be in what used to be called the Oasis of Mara, now known as Joshua Tree, California. “Mara” means “the place of little springs and much grass.” This is where the native people used to meet to trade goods, sing songs, and share stories. Now, it is an extreme desert environment, totally changed from it’s original state. But, the magical energy remains, it’s a place you can truly feel the original people of the land. To add to how special this location is, it is the ONLY place in the world with Joshua trees, a unique version of a palm tree that you can only experience when near one. I swear, they speak. That being said, we’re going to this Retreat with the intention of connecting to the land, connecting to each other, and connecting our solar plexus chakra back to the divine. The theme is yellow. It’s Spring which means we’ll get to see the desert in full bloom and enjoy it’s uniqueness while we embrace our own. Dedicated to reclaiming our confidence, the sun will guide us by day and stars will teach us at night how to shine even through darkness. We can’t wait to share this experience with you!

*Flights not included in price - we’ll send suggestions as it gets closer. (Airport is Palm Springs.)

*Everything else is provided including food, travel back and forth to the airport, and a day trip to the National Park. Once you’re here, you won’t have to worry about a thing other than pouring into yourself.

*There are no solo beds at this Retreat. You will be sharing a Queen size with another woman. Please let us know when signing up if you plan on coming with a friend so we can room you together!

*Get ready to own your weirdness, we’ll be embracing this UFO hotspot with dancing around the fire, singing to the stars, and welcoming all the magic that wants to find us.

Are you excited for what’s next?!?!

Our 2nd Retreat of 2024 has been divinely planned for a while and we finally get to make it happen. Costa Rica continues to come up in our daily lives whether mentioned by others, in a reel, or some other magical way, which has led us to choose this space. This area of the country is known as a Blue Zone, which makes it that much more perfect for a relaxing 5 day get away to focus on your overall well being. We’ll be immersing ourselves in their way of life during this Retreat from enjoying Costa Rican food, to adventuring with horseback riding on the beach. This is an experience you don’t want to miss! Don’t worry about not getting your spot, because baby, our first international B.O.W Retreat will be able to hold space for 24 women! Happy 2024 ladies! We deserve the good life and this one of a kind villa will be the ideal place to settle our worthiness into our souls. With our focus being on our crown chakra for these 5 days, we’ll be tapping into our connection to source, embracing our innate connection to each other, and honing in on our connection to mother earth. Purple will be the theme color, putting added attention on our crown chakra as we embrace our divinity and give ourselves a bow.

*Flights not included in price - we’ll send suggestions as it gets closer. (Airport is Liberia, Costa Rica.)

*Everything else is provided including food, travel back and forth to the airport and all adventures. Once you’re here, you won’t have to worry about a thing other than allowing yourself to relax.

*There are solo bed options at this Retreat. These are on a first come first serve basis. Once the solo beds are full, the other option will be sharing a Queen with another guest, but feel free to invite a friend on this experience to get a room together!

*Get ready for the time of your life, embracing joy and filling up our cups at the perfect time of year for a recharge!

Sarah Boutwell

Sarah is a photographer of 18 years turned into professional speaker, woman empowerment advocate, writer and women’s event/retreat host. Once she started providing intentional photo sessions that start with a vulnerable 2-way interview, she knew her natural ability to get weirdly vulnerable was going to change her world and impact others. Overcoming her own struggles of childhood sexual trauma and an auto-immune disease that covers her skin in red dots, the self-proclaimed Vulnerability Queen now encourages women to own their story and their skin.

“We can’t get out of either, so we might as well embrace the f*ck out of who we are because there is no other way to self-love.”

She now embraces her “cheetah spots” and practices radical self-love daily. She will guide us through a Group B.O.W Session including a mediated discussion about our struggles and triumphs along with some group healing and connection exercises to help us embrace who we truly are. Experiencing deep conversations on this level is powerful and liberating as we discover we are never alone.

This will be followed by a Group Photo Session capturing the energy of this newfound sisterhood! Everyone will also have their turn at an individual photo shoot to bring out your innermost Goddess as well! If you’re nervous to get your picture taken, don’t be! The photoshoot is the celebratory part of the B.O.W process as we get to exude our confidence, our uniqueness, and our WHOLENESS as the divine beings we are.
