What Guests Are Saying:
This retreat was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. From the moment I arrived, I felt held—by the land, by the circle of women, and by the safe, nurturing space that our retreat leaders, Jenn and Sadie created. I left with a softened heart, a clear mind, and a renewed connection to my inner truth. The Azores were the perfect backdrop for transformation."
"What a beautiful, life-affirming experience. Every detail—from the breathtaking location to the soul-centered workshops—was designed to support deep inner healing. I laughed, I cried, I rested, I remembered who I am. I came home feeling more aligned, more whole, and more connected to my essence."
"It’s hard to put into words just how powerful this retreat was. I came in feeling lost and overwhelmed, and left with a new sense of clarity and peace. The sisterhood that formed over just a few days was incredible. I’ve never felt so seen, supported, and inspired. Thank you, Jenn and Sadie, for this gift."
"The Soul Alignment Retreat gave me space to slow down, to reflect, and to reclaim the parts of myself I had forgotten. The movement practices, breathwork, storytelling, and sound healing opened something in me that had been closed for years. I’m going home with new tools, new friendships, and a new sense of purpose."
"As someone who doesn’t often prioritize my own needs, this retreat was an act of radical self-love. Every day offered a new opportunity to reconnect with myself in a deeply compassionate way. The energy, the women, the setting—pure magic. I’m leaving with an open heart and a renewed sense of possibility."
