Women's Transformational Retreat

Laguna Beach, CA | Jan 30th-Feb 02, 2026

Unwind, Reconnect & Recalibrate

A transformational 4-day retreat for women ready to rest, reconnect, and remember who they are.

When was the last time you felt rested, clear, and at peace?

As women, we’re often carrying so much — careers, families, responsibilities — that it becomes second nature to give our energy away until there’s nothing left for ourselves. In the busyness of it all, it’s easy to lose touch with the grounded, present version of you — the woman who feels clear, at peace, and deeply aligned.

The Recalibrate Retreat in Laguna Beach is your invitation to pause, exhale, and return to her. Over four days by the ocean, you’ll reset your nervous system, soften into restorative practices, and reconnect with the true essence of who you are.

Welcome to the Recalibrate Retreat

Tucked in the heart of Laguna Beach, California, just moments from the ocean, this four-day fall retreat is your invitation to pause before the busyness of the holidays. Designed as a sacred container of rest and renewal, the Recalibrate Retreat will support you in softening back into yourself — finding balance through restorative practices, soulful workshops, and nourishing rituals that realign your mind, body, and spirit.

📅 When: Jan 30th – Feb 2nd, 2026


✨ Optional VIP Power Down Prep Day: Jan 29, 2026

What Awaits You:

  • Elevated boutique accommodations steps away from the ocean and Laguna Village

  • A welcome gift on arrival + take-home practices to anchor your recalibration back in daily life

  • Morning movement + breathwork to reset your body and clear your head

  • Workshops with a self-compassion guest expert to offer you insights and real tools you can use when life gets messy

  • A one-of-a-kind hands on fragrance experience in Laguna Village — dinner, an ocean breeze, and your own custom scent to take home

  • Healthy, delicious meals, snacks, and refreshments provided throughout your stay

  • Evenings that invite real conversation, fireside connection, or simply time for yourself.

  • Unstructured time to relax, explore, or book a massage/Reiki session

  • A 2 month mastermind with biweekly calls to integrate your recalibration

This Retreat is For You If:

  • You’re the one who keeps it all together but underneath, you’re running on empty.

  • You’ve built the career, the family, the life and you want for something more.

  • You’re in a pivot season: empty nest, divorce, career reinvention, or just that inner nudge that is ready for “different”.

  • Your self-care is always last on the list.

  • You’re craving nervous system calm, not just another productivity system.

  • You want to feel at home in your own skin again, navigating from your center instead of from pressure.

  • You’re ready for real connection with women who get it, get you, and live life on purpose with purpose.

Your Coastal Haven in Laguna Beach

Tucked along Laguna’s stunning shoreline, our boutique retreat setting offers the perfect balance of relaxation and inspiration.

During your stay, you’ll also enjoy exclusive access to additional amenities just a short stroll away—including a beachfront pool, hot tub, and cozy oceanfront firepits—making it easy to soak up the magic of coastal California. With downtown Laguna only minutes from your door, you’ll have everything you need for a soul-nourishing retreat surrounded by beauty, community, and the calming rhythm of the sea.

VIP Power Down Prep Day

(Only 2 Spots Left)

I know how hard it is to shift gears. Most women arrive at a retreat still carrying the stress of travel, family, work, and the endless to-do list. The VIP Power Down Day was created so you do not spend the first 24 hours trying to catch your breath, but instead have the space to truly unwind and arrive.

This is not indulgence, it is intention — an extra night with a fully customized journey designed to reset your body, clear your mind, and ground your energy before the retreat begins.

What you’ll experience:     

•    Massage for deep release and relaxation (45 minutes) •    Private coaching and meditation session for clarity and alignment (45 minutes)     

•    Personalized yin yoga tailored to what your body needs most (30 minutes)     

•    Journaling and creativity sanctuary for reflection (self-guided)     •    Rooftop lunch and tea with space to pause and integrate     •    The Remedy Ritual: a sacred closing with foot soak, hand and arm massage, essential oils, and gentle Reiki (20 minutes)

By the time the retreat starts, you will not just be here, you will be ready. Grounded, centered, and fully recalibrated to receive everything this experience has to offer.

When a woman has sisterhood with other women, without comparison or competition, she gains the superpower to soar. —Christine Arylo

TESTIMONIALS

Client

Meaghan

I speak more kindly to myself—this changed my life.

Laura has become a touchstone for me, not just to a circle of support and love, but to myself. I have to be better to be there. I have to arrive ready to share truthfully, listen heart-fully, and having done my own work. I choose these retreats because the women in it are astonishing. I am honoured to share space with them.

Mia

It felt like I finally exhaled. I left with practices I use daily.” — Mia

Attending a retreat is like having your own library of resources that you can tap into whenever you need support. Every woman comes with so much to offer and so much to share. Every gathering gives you something else to wonder about or something else to apply to your life. Every intention creates a new set of possibilities and a new portal to shift through. 

Dawn

It’s like learning a new language of self-care—together.

Being at one of Laura's retreats is like learning another language; one where you now have the words to more accurately and lovingly express what you need, what you are feeling, and how you are going to care for and create more for yourself. Even better is that everyone in the room also speaks that language, so when you gather, you don’t have to explain anything, you just go straight into the heart of things. It’s magic.
