Retreat Overview

Join us for Dark Goddess Unleashed, a three-day immersive retreat designed exclusively for women ready to dive deep into the mysteries of the dark feminine. In the vibrant energy of San Diego’s sun-kissed shores, we’ll awaken the untamed power within—the fierce, sensual, and shadowy aspects of the divine feminine often suppressed in modern life. Drawing inspiration from feminine archetypes, this retreat is a sacred space to reclaim your wild essence, release old wounds, and emerge empowered, radiant, and unapologetically authentic.

Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to shadow work, this retreat offers a supportive sisterhood to explore themes of sacred rage, sensual sovereignty, and primal connection. Through a blend of ancient rituals, embodied practices, and creative expression, you’ll learn to harness the “dark” not as something to fear, but as a source of profound strength, creativity, and liberation. Expect to leave with renewed vitality, deeper self-love, and tools to integrate this energy into your daily life.

Accommodations feature eco-friendly rooms, nourishing plant-based meals, and plenty of time for reflection amid San Diego’s stunning natural beauty. All activities are facilitated by female spiritual guides, ensuring a safe, consensual, and transformative environment.

Daily Schedule and Activities

What to Bring and Expect

• Comfortable clothing for movement, yoga, and outdoor activities (layers for San Diego’s mild winter weather, averaging 60-70°F).

• Personal items like journals, crystals, or sacred objects for rituals.

• An open heart—activities may evoke strong emotions, but our facilitators provide emotional support and consent-based guidelines.
