Explore the sacred natural with Back to the Body™
May 17 - 24, 2026 in the Southern California high desert
By Invitation Only, once you say yes to Mastery you will immerse yourself in the deepest of experiences with our team and the sisterhood that gathers. Open to only 8 women, each participant receives deeply personalized attention through daily three-hour sessions that rotate between expert practitioners. Layered into the experience are ritualized group journeys, designed to break through old scripts and experience being fully, sensually alive.
An intimate, high-level immersion for women who are ready to break open the boundaries of their pleasure, their truth, and their embodied knowing.
Join us at a gorgeous private location in the Southern California high desert. A place where magic whispers through the rugged desert landscape, intertwining with transformative possibility. Its iconic Joshua trees stand like sentinels, their twisted branches reaching towards a sky painted with hues of orange and pink during the sunset, or glittering with a tapestry of stars on clear desert nights. Amidst the sun-drenched and ancient rocks, there's a palpable sense of serenity and rejuvenation. The quietude of the desert encourages deep introspection and personal growth, while the vibrant bursts of life – blooming cacti, wildflowers after rainstorms, owls amidst the scene of surreal beauty – inspire a profound connection to nature and oneself. This sanctuary amidst nature's raw beauty offers a space for healing and renewal, and is known as a haven for artists, adventurers, and seekers of harmony. It's a place where you can recharge your spirits, nourish your bodies with wholesome cuisine, and forge meaningful connections with like-minded souls in a setting that feels timeless, mystical, and transformative.
