About this trip
This January 11-16th, I am SO excited to host my annual winter retreat in the Sierra Madres of Cabo Corrientes Mexico at the magical retreat center Equilibrium Healing Resort and Spa.
This year I feel incredibly fortunate to be bringing guest presenter Malka Russell, an incredibly talented and super high vibe woman who I have admired from a distance after I fell in love with her music. Her song, Queendom, inspired the name of this retreat! In addition to being a musician, Malka is an Ecstatic Dance DJ and offers Ceremonial Sound Healings.
Together, Malka and I will facilitate practices meant to reconnect us to our inner essence of joy and wholeness. We each weave our passions and practices for connecting to our body, heart, and spirit in unique ways, and throughout this week we’ll be bringing all our favorite experiences, including yoga and breathwork, dance and song, sharing and journaling, sound healing ceremony and deep healing.
Equilibrium Healing Resort and Spa is a true oasis for rejuvenation. Nestled in the Sierra Madre Mountains, an hour south of Puerto Vallarta airport, Equilibrium is a truly unique place with its own microclimate. The experience surrounds you with countless tropical birds, orchids, butterflies, medicinal plants and more. A perfect space to heal and connect. The natural mineral warm and cold pools fed by a spring from the nearby mountain await you!
Treat yourself to a week of bliss in a true refuge, in the middle of a magical oasis supporting body-mind-spirit alignment.

Lily is the perfect name for this beautiful woman and everything she creates with love, tenderness, and so much heart. I have now experienced two of Lily's all women retreats -- the Queendom Retreat in January 2024 in Mexico and the Wild Heart Weekend in August 2024 in Colorado.
I had a sense, but really no idea -- though Lily has, of course -- the healing power of a gathering of women. Smart, beautiful, vulnerable women coming together in a perfect container, the venues of Lily's choosing -- Equillibrium in Cabo Corrientes, MX and Deer Hill in Mancos, CO -- that held us so sweetly, as we created space for and held one another. Truly. Hugging, touching, kissing, laughing and loving -- for three magical days.
The other presenters shared their gifts, too, starting with a blessing of the land, sweet song circles, embodied and expressive flow yoga, sacred breath and cacao ceremonies, spiritual eros, wild weed and textile dying with flowers workshops, crystal bowl sound baths, and the most incredible Deep Feast where we fed one another small bites of love.
Hannah's wonderful meals also left me feeling so nourished, with an awakened heart, and so grateful to know Lily and receive the gifts she shares -- with love, gentle grace and joy -- with all of us. I have a healer friend (synchronistically with a similar name Awakened Heart Project, no surprise!) who when she invites me to join her for workshops there is no other answer than, "YES!"
I do the same now with Lily. Say "YES" to yourself and to any of Lily's Awakened Heart offerings. All it takes is to arrive with a little bit of courage and an open heart and you'll leave with a renewed sense of possibility, new awakenings, a new incredibly supportive sisterhood, satiated and full of wonder, truly believing that all you need is within you!

In an atmosphere of peace, tranquility and gentleness, Lily's retreats are ultimately a path of self-love. Connecting with other beautiful women, celebrating and restoring the inner fire that is essential to our feminine spirit, Lily creates a sanctuary of wellness. She is thoughtful over every detail, taking participants on a journey that allows each to blossom and unfold naturally. While yoga asana brings us together, it is the laughter, friendship and spontaneous healing that makes this retreat special. Equilibrium is a place to Be, to nourish and recharge. Attending one of Lily's amazing retreats is a gift you give yourself.
