Soulful creative retreats
for open-hearted women
Where Women Gather
Magic Unfolds
Heart Work Retreats create space and time for women to feel more alive and free.
A place to build life-long friendships with kindred hearts & souls through creativity, shared adventure
and irresistible sisterhood.
A place where individuality and
belonging meld.
Come Back to Yourself
Imagine time away:
- basking in the company & wisdom of other women,
- feasting on farm to table meals,
- growing during journaling and sharing circles,
- empowering photography portrait sessions,
- nature walks, mindful movement, sound baths,
- playing with beautiful clothing,
- dancing beneath the stars,
- and forming deep soul connections.
Imagine space to hear your
own thoughts again.
You Are Worthy
So many women carry similar threads of quiet, emotional burdens. We are drowning in obligations and commitments and the weight of our brains and society whispering,
“How dare you create the life you want?”
We internalize this guilt, shame, and fear and they hold us back and keep us small so that we forget to look up and expand & transform.
“I hold space for everyone, and neglect what my soul needs…”
“If I could just have focused, creative time — and not feel guilty about it…”
“My wounded heart needs to hear that I am worthy…”
Countless women are struggling silently with the same inner dialog. Retreats are where we get to name these out loud, together — and start to heal them.
We hold space for each other and heal together.
Elements of a Heart Work Retreat
Connection
Foster deep connections through group sharing circles where you unburden yourself and receive the wisdom of the other women, forming a found family.
Beauty
Immerse yourself in landscapes that take your breath away, wear the fancy dresses you never get to wear and unleash a new side of yourself during your Wild Woman Portraits
Adventure
Explore beautiful corners of the earth, eat delicious feasts and share new experiences with other open-hearted women
Inner Work
The quiet, soul-deep work of coming home to yourself through mindfulness, movement, sound bowl healing and other sacred ceremonies.
Creativity
Explore your innate creativity without pressure or expectation. Hear your thoughts again through curated journaling prompts and experiment with a mix of painting, photography and flower crafting.
Meet Melody
I’ve spent the last decade living on the road, photographing love stories in some of the most beautiful places on earth — and somewhere along the way, I found a calling that is more true and meaningful than I ever could have hoped for: gathering women in those same wild places and watching them come alive and form deep connections.
What Others Have Experienced
“People remember how you make them feel and Melody makes them feel like they’re amazing. She invests in people and it shows. She’s great at finding what people are good at and inspiring them to do it. Everything is just much more beautiful. Melody is the special sauce that glues and connects – the root of relationships.”
— Alisz
