About this trip

   


THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. 

the light in me sees the light in you.


Welcome,

My name is Ramona and I am a self-portrait photographer, intuitive storyteller, solo-traveler, and a lightworker. Radiant Ramona is an extension of my craft; a sort of ethereal and mystic Afro-Latin being created to encourage creative women to heal and trust their inner guide. 


I have been intentionally curating my story, partnering with aligned brands, traveling to unbelievable places in this brown body -- and capturing it by myself. 


And now, we are ready to share more of what we do and how we do it with you. 


A retreat where we embrace lightwork as the art of igniting your inner radiance and extending it through photography. Just as a photograph captures the interplay of light and scene, our retreat, nestled in the California Coastal Redwoods, offers a journey of self-love and artistic expression. 


Moving freely, eating wholesome meals, sharing, learning, creating content, and captivating a moment with kindred spirits from around the world. Through daily healing and guided workshops, we'll master self and craft, realign with creative purpose, and connect with the space around us. 

Our Space

The Front Porch Inn


Located behind the Redwood curtain in the vibrant California coastal village of Arcata, we are offered boutique lodging and deep relaxation with a one of a kind Hidden Bath experience. 


A safe and uniquely aesthetic space to create in and around.
