Join us for Ignite Her Creative Power, an exclusive retreat designed for women storytellers who are ready to spark inspiration, shift their mindset, and step into their most creative and empowered selves. Through a blend of immersive workshops and soul-nourishing experiences, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and renewed purpose to bring your creative projects to life.
THE SETTING
We leave the noise behind and step into the lush green heart of the Mexican jungle. The air feels softer here, rich with the scent of earth and rain. Sunlight filters through the canopy in golden streams, and the only soundtrack is the rustle of leaves and the call of distant birds.
Out here, creativity feels different, freer, wilder. The jungle’s calm slows your thoughts, making room for ideas that have been waiting patiently for you. Every winding path invites curiosity, every sunrise sparks a new perspective.
In this space, we disconnect from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with what matters most, our vision, our voice, ourselves. The jungle becomes our companion, grounding us in the present and guiding us toward what’s ready to be created.

✨ Sample Itinerary
Each day is designed to awaken a different element within you — Air, Fire, Water, and Earth — blending creativity, healing, and sisterhood. It’s a journey back to your voice, your power, and your flow.
🌬️ Day 1 – Air: Arrival & Inspiration
Arrive in paradise and exhale. Settle into your jungle oasis with a welcome drink by the pool. Spend the afternoon settling in or booking an optional massage or healing session (reiki, energy work, or intuitive readings). As the sun sets, gather for a Stories & Sound Healing Circle, where intention takes flight beneath the stars.
🔥 Day 2 – Fire: Release & Empower
Start the day with a Shamanic Blessing Ceremony and feel your energy rise. Through an empowering workshop and one-on-one sessions, you’ll clear space for what’s next. As night falls, we gather around the fire to release what no longer serves and claim our power
.
💧 Day 3 – Water: Flow & Create
Immerse yourself in the sacred cenote, crystal-clear waters where reflection meets rebirth. A Productivity & Mindset workshop helps bring your creative vision into focus. The day ends with a joyful Caribbean dance class to let your soul flow.
🌿 Day 4 – Earth: Integration & Renewal
We ground everything we’ve opened, released, and created. A Plant & Hug Ceremony anchors your intentions, sending you home inspired, centered, and connected.
✨ Activities may vary slightly to honor the group’s energy and flow. Every workshop and ceremony is optional — this is your space to breathe, create, and reconnect.

Sara Elizabeth is incredible on stage, and we so appreciated the smarts and passion she brought to the topic of diversity in film. I was flooded with positive responses from our audience after the program who couldn't stop raving about the conversation as one of the most inspirational experiences they've had. I too feel lucky to have been there!

We were thrilled to have Sara as a speaker for our quarterly Women’s Exchange luncheon and she did not disappoint! We look for speakers who are inspiring and willing to open up their life story to assist other women. She did just that and then some. Our attendees walked away encouraged to overcome obstacles and pursue their dreams.

Sara Elizabeth was a smash hit as our Keynote speaker. She is a warm, engaging speaker with considerable street cred who will inspire, who will elicit questions and responses and whom you will want to ask back. I promise.
