What To Expect

This is the Sacred Shit that
Changes Everything

Your Mythic & Legendary Rewrite

You’ll re-map your chart through its highest expression, experience a five-element energy expansion, and rewrite your life as a heroine’s journey. Craft the story of your greatest life IN REAL TIME.

The Besties You Haven't Met Yet

You will lock in your transformation surrounded by other badass women who get it. Because when you’re in a circle of women who are rising too, your transformation amplifies.

You’ll uncover the story you have been living – not in the old ways you’ve done a million times in journaling or therapy – but by unveiling the hidden subconscious codes identified in your personal chart.

Your Sacred Initiation

You don’t need prior experience with Human Design to enter this work. We’ll explore your unique design and the Initiation Codes you’re moving through and the midlife transits that reveal what’s no longer true – and guide you back into alignment with who you’re here to be now.

This is the moment you choose you.

Because this is our maiden voyage, you’re receiving a special, invite-only rate for this inaugural experience.

TRANSFORMATIONS

Women Who Claimed It

You May Be Wondering...

Ugh, a cruise. Isn’t that, like… obnoxious? +


Totally fair question. Because a cruise with screaming kids and forced fun with 2000 strangers? Absolutely not. This is the cruise for people who don’t like cruises, and that’s exactly why I chose Virgin Voyages – a cruise line built for adults who want luxury experiences and zero chaos.

Think:

  • Adults only (aka: no kids in the hot tub).
  • No cruise director shouting over a megaphone to drag you to line dancing. Just luxurious options you can say yes or no to
  • No buffets, no sad shrimp cocktail. We get legit restaurants with actual food you’d choose on land.
  • Environmentally sustainable, ethically built, and fully aligned with conscious, grown-ass humans.


Oh, and did I mention there’s a tattoo parlor onboard? And hammocks on your private balcony (handmade by a woman-owned company in Thailand)? And a spa that will absolutely erase the bullshit you came in carrying?


I used to be skeptical about cruises too... until I learned how to do it right. I’m happy to talk with you about it in a Decision Alignment Session so you can choose if it’s a fit for you.

Book a chat with me →

What if I get sea sick and barf? +


You are so not the only one wondering this.

Because the ship is so large and well-balanced, you rarely feel much movement at all. When you do, it’s more of a gentle sway, not the jerky or swervy kind of motion that usually triggers nausea. Most guests report that they forget they’re even at sea.

If you’re especially sensitive, you can book a room mid-ship on a lower deck, which tends to be the most stable part of the boat. We’ll walk you through room selection when it’s time to book. Some people pack motion-sickness wristbands or non-drowsy Dramamine just in case, and they do also offer sea sickness support on the boat, but chances are you’ll feel great the entire time.

Still nervous? Book a chat with me and we’ll talk through it together.

How many people will be there? +


We’re capping this retreat at around 30 women to keep the experience intimate, potent, and powerfully held. This is definitely not a convention, it’s a curated vortex for deep transformation and connection.

When should I plan to arrive and leave? +


Boarding typically begins around noon, and the cruise line closes check-in about 1.5 - 2 hours before departure – and they will leave without you, my friend. I recommend flying in the evening before Day 1 to allow for smooth sailing (literally), and to avoid any stress from unexpected travel delays.

On the final day, the ship docks early (usually around 7–8AM), and disembarkation happens in waves. You’ll be off the ship by mid-morning and can safely fly out that afternoon.

Full cruise booking instructions and timing details will be sent after registration, and we are happy to help you with arrangements.

What if I have food restrictions or accessibility needs? +


The cruise line can accommodate most dietary and accessibility needs, and we’ll gather that info from you after registration to make sure you’re fully supported. If you have specific concerns, feel free to reach out before booking.

Are accommodations included? +


The retreat tuition and your cruise booking are separate purchases.

Once you register for the retreat, you’ll receive a special link to book your cruise cabin directly through the cruise line (don’t worry – it’s easy, and we’ll guide you through it).

Your cruise will cost between $819 – $1500, depending on your room preference. All options are all-inclusive, which means your room, food, and standard beverages are covered – and you’ll get a credit towards some alcoholic or fancy drinks.

We’ve structured it this way to give you full flexibility and transparency, so you can choose the experience that fits your style and your budget.

Is there a payment plan? +


Yes! You can pay in full or split it into 3 monthly payments. Pay-in-full price is $2,222 (hello, angel numbers) or you can choose 3 monthly payments of $777.

What is the cancellation policy? +


Because of the intimate nature of this retreat and the limited spots, all sales are final and non-refundable. However, your spot can be transferred to another approved attendee if you can no longer come. Bottom line: trust your “yes,” and commit fully.

Note: We cannot guarantee refunds from any accommodations you book with the cruise line or airlines.

Will this be recorded or streamed for people who can’t attend? +


Nope, and that’s the whole point. This is sacred, in-person-only magic. If you’re feeling the pull, trust it. This container is for the women who show up.

How do I know this will be worth it for me? +


Have you ever known something so deeply that you wish you could just insert that truth into the hearts of everyone you know and love? That’s how passionately I feel about what becomes possible when you step into full alignment with who you were designed to be.

If I could wave a magic wand and have every woman on this planet understand one thing, it would be this:

Every single part of the life you want is tied to living your true self. Your relationships. Your career. Your health. Your money. The best of it all becomes magnetized to you when you know exactly who you are, and act accordingly.

And you will.

After this *actually* transformational, fun-as-fuck 5-day experience, you’ll walk away with that clarity, power, and alignment so you can BE the person you are deeply here to be. I'm so excited to support you on this heroine's journey of yours.

Still have questions or not sure this is for you?

That’s totally normal, and its exactly why I offer Decision Alignment Sessions. If you’re feeling the pull but need clarity, let’s talk it through together.

THE BEST ERA YOU
IS CALLING

You're already going through the change. Let's make it fucking count.

Initiate your midlife awakening

Refine your life to your truth
