The Retreat
Creative Goddess Retreat
Friday 18th – Tuesday 22nd of August 2023
Cartagena, Colombia
All inclusive*
*Travel insurance and Flights to and from Cartagena are not included.
Explore yourself through the lenses of the archetypes to bring more goddess energy to your content and business, while you have fun in the colonial old town of Cartagena – a jewel on Caribbean shores, with a group of women on similar journeys.
You’ll leave not only relaxed, refreshed and motivated after days of fun, pampering and exploration, but also with hundreds of photos and dozens of videos for marketing your business or even just for your own pleasure.
When we’ll meet:
Arrive anytime before 6pm on Friday the 18th. We’ll pick you up from the airport and take you to the Airbnb to get settled in! If you wish to arrive early – great! The city has plenty of options for culture, shopping, or lounging around. Our first meal together will be dinner that evening.
The retreat will finish after breakfast together on Tuesday the 22nd of August when we can take you to the airport if you wish.
Feel free to stay in Cartagena for longer!
Where we’ll stay:
A stunning airbnb in the old town, with internet, air-conditioning, a pool, and a private room and bathroom for each participant.
The retreat will finish after breakfast together on Tuesday the 22nd of August when we can take you to the airport if you wish.

What we’ll eat:
A fresh, healthy, buffet breakfast will be served at home every day, with delicious fruits, free range eggs, gluten free bread options and local delicacies.
The pantry and fridge at our Airbnb will be stocked with healthy drinks and snacks! (Please feel free to request your favs).
Lunches and dinners are also included, with up to two alcoholic beverages at dinner if you wish to indulge. We will either have fresh, organic food delivered to our house on home photoshoot days, or go out to eat in beautiful local restaurants where they have elegant modern takes on local classics as well as often live music.
Sunset will be an event for us every day! Whether we’re being photographed or enjoying a drink on the scenic muralla.
On our last night, we will go to Celele Restaurant https://celelerestaurante.com/ (this restaurant has been recognized by Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants)

What’s included, before the retreat:
This is not just a retreat, or a set of fun photoshoots, this is an opportunity for self exploration and self expression.
The four classic feminine archetypes offer us the chance to view ourselves through different lenses. We carry these blueprints inside of us, and they’re often expressed through the seasons, phases of life as well as the phases of the menstrual cycle. We can also choose to explore and express the archetypes to bring more of what we are craving and longing for into our lives and business.
For this reason, my desire for you is that you do a lot of thinking and self exploration before the retreat, so that when your photos are taken, they show the journey that you’ve chosen to embark on and your unique interpretation of these universal archetypes.
Participation in this retreat includes:
4 x 1:1 calls with me
We’ll explore your relationship to each of these archetypes, and how you want to embody and express them. I will provide you with a workbook with journaling questions for each one, and in our calls we can talk about where you might benefit from embodying her more in your life. We can also discuss what you plan on wearing for each of the photoshoots, so you come prepared and ready to relax.
1 group call
We’ll have a call to meet each other, set intentions and chat before we meet IRL!
What you receive after the retreat:
We will send you at least 100 edited photos you can use for content, printing or your website. We will also send you video footage in vertical format for use in short form content!
How to get to Cartagena:

You can also fly into Bogota (BOG) and get a local flight to Cartagena. We’ll pick you up from the airport (with a cute lil sign) and make sure you get back to the airport safely!
