You’re craving more than just a vacation— you’re looking for a transformative experience. You want to release heavy energy, shed outdated beliefs, and step into a version of yourself that feels lighter, freer, and more aligned.

Retreat Intention + Theme
Retreat
Intention + Theme
The relationship you have with yourself becomes the foundation for everything else. Again and again, people in our community have asked us for a retreat centered around self-love.
The kind that's rooted in love, compassion, and self-trust, so that life starts to feel different. You make decisions with more confidence. You stop looking outside yourself for proof that you’re enough. You become someone you can truly rely on.
After hosting retreats around the world, one theme keeps coming up again and again: People want to learn how to truly love themselves. Not just through affirmations or positive thinking, but in a deeper, embodied way that changes how they speak to themselves, care for themselves, and move through life.
That’s the intention behind The Love Within. Together, we’ll create space for every part of you to be welcome— the confident parts, the messy parts, the joyful parts, and the parts you may have been judging, hiding, or trying to fix.
We’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and inner dialogue shaping the way you see yourself, and practice meeting them with more curiosity and compassion. Through reflection, movement, nervous system work, and meaningful connection, you’ll begin strengthening your self-trust and learning how to become your own safe place.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and more connected to who you are. More able to speak to yourself kindly, trust what you need, and return to yourself with love when life feels hard. Because when you truly have your own back, everything changes.

Rosie Jermakian is a crystalline sound bowl practitioner, certified 200-hour Vinyasa yoga teacher, co-founder of Radiance Retreats, and lifelong student of the world.
After 12 years in corporate fashion, Rosie left her career to travel, teach, and build a life that felt more connected to curiosity, freedom, community, and meaningful experience. Now living nomadically, she sees the world as her classroom… learning through new cultures, local traditions, shared meals, unexpected adventures, and witnessing the many different ways people choose to live.
During a time that constantly asks us to do more, move faster, and measure our worth through productivity, Rosie is passionate about creating spaces where people can slow down, enjoy their lives, and let themselves be cared for. She has a natural gift for looking after the people who are usually busy looking after everyone else. She brings warmth and intention to the little details that help people feel safe, supported, and able to fully exhale, which is why everyone lovingly calls her the “retreat mom.”
Her practices blend sound healing, yoga nidra, mindfulness, grounding movement, reflective conversation, and community connection to help people return to themselves with more presence and ease.
Rosie’s love for travel, surfing, food, culture, and human connection inspires the playful, adventurous spirit of every Radiance Retreat. She believes the most meaningful trips don’t help you escape your life, instead they remind you how good it feels to be fully alive within it.

Greta Ertl
After traveling the world and experiencing countless retreats, we felt a deep pull to create something different— something truly transformative. We wanted to bring together all the practices that have changed our lives into one powerful, soul-nourishing experience and share it with you.
This retreat was born from the belief that true transformation happens when you step away from the noise, immerse yourself in nature, and give yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and just be.
We’ve woven together the most powerful elements for deep healing and expansion:
✨ Kundalini Yoga and Empowered Movement classes to reconnect with your body, awaken your energy and release what you've been carrying.
✨ Meditation, breathwork and sound healing to calm your nervous system and create space for clarity, peace and self-compassion.
✨ Transformational workshops, shadow work and journaling to help you understand yourself more deeply, quiet your inner critic and rewrite the stories that no longer serve you.
✨ Time in nature to slow down, reflect and reconnect with what truly matters.
✨ Nourishing meals, meaningful conversations and a supportive community that reminds you you're never meant to do life alone.
This retreat is about coming home to yourself. Our greatest hope is that you leave Sayulita with more than beautiful memories. We hope you leave with a softer heart, quieter mind, deeper trust in yourself, and a relationship with yourself that feels rooted in love, compassion and acceptance.

By the end of these five nights, our intention is for you to feel:
✨ Deeply rested after having the space to slow down and be fully cared for
✨ More connected to your body and better able to recognize what it needs
✨ Gentler with yourself when life doesn’t unfold perfectly
✨ Aware of your inner dialogue and equipped with tools to respond more compassionately
✨ Grateful for who you are and what you already have, without losing excitement for what’s ahead
✨ Supported by a meaningful community of people who remind you that you don’t have to navigate everything alone
✨ Alive and inspired after experiencing new movement, food, culture, adventure, and conversation

You’ll return to the same home, responsibilities, and routines, but you’ll bring back a softer voice. A more trusting relationship with yourself. New friendships. Memories that make you smile. And a renewed understanding that you deserve to feel supported, nourished, and excited about your own life.

"The Radiance Retreat I attended was hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The itinerary was the perfect mix of powerful Kundalini sessions, fun group activities, and plenty of downtime to rest, recharge, and soak in the magic of Nosara. The energy of the group was unreal—so supportive, welcoming, and inspiring. It truly felt like a little soul family. And the Kundalini experiences? Absolutely ethereal. I’ve never felt so deeply connected to myself and the energy around me. Plus, the food was incredible—nourishing, delicious, and exactly what my body needed. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and completely recharged. If you’ve ever thought about doing a retreat, this is the one."
-Meghan R
"I have participated in numerous healing activities and attended several retreats, and I must say that the retreat led by Rosie & Greta surpassed them all. The organization and planning were impeccable, and the food was absolutely fantastic. The group they assembled was perfectly aligned, creating a truly exceptional experience. I particularly enjoyed being introduced to Kundalini, which was an amazing addition to the retreat. Overall, I would rate the entire experience a perfect 10/10."
-Monica M
“I went on a Radiance Retreat to Sayulita after a friend of mine described it as life changing. Even with these high expectations going into the trip, my experience still exceeded what I thought was possible. Kundalini and Human Design were brand new to me, and both helped me uncover and move past thoughts in my subconscious that have been with me and holding me back since childhood. I accomplished more in five days from a personal growth perspective than I did in 10+ years of therapy. And on top of all that I had so much fun and made friends I still stay in touch with!”

“Rich Rising! I attended the Radiance Retreat in Sayulita, Mexico & to say it was life changing is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I had never been to a wellness retreat and had never practiced many of the elements we were introduced to during the retreat. I left so connected to myself and to spirit on a higher level. Greta introduced Kundalini to our group in such a “digestible” way to those of us that were new to the practice. I loved having the balance of our spiritual practices and the other activities (hikes, surfing, in town shopping, & water excursions). I would 10/10 recommend and can’t wait til the next one I attend!”
-Brooke B
“The opportunity to immerse oneself in a Radiance Retreat is rare and scared. The gifts you walk away are even more valuable and will serve for a lifetime. Today, I am setting out to accomplish goals I planted the seeds for a year ago in the manifestation workshop. Thank you Rosie and Greta for being a portal to peace and fulfillment!”
-Kirby C
"The Radiance Retreat I attended was nothing short of life changing. I was at a point in life where I really needed some inner connection and guidance and this retreat came along at the perfect time. It was spiritual but also practical and used science to explain a lot of the benefits of activities like kundalini, mantras, mindfulness training, etc. I can’t wait for the Sayulita trip and many more adventures that these two host- they have a very special dynamic that I hadn’t ever experienced before. The connection between the group and the depth that we were able to go with one another was incredibly healing - 10/10 would recommend."

This was the exact reset and recharge I needed in the most beautiful and thoughtful setting. Everything was magical, organized, and fun. Greta’s knowledge and teaching practices are so practical making it easy to add into every day life. Rosie’s sound healings were so relaxing and rejuvenating! Every aspect of this retreat was thought out perfectly. The one thing I did not expect was to have found a tribe of people on a path of growth so welcoming, kind and true. I have made valuable forever friends on this retreat that I hope to stay connected with for a lifetime! If you are unsure if you can make a Radiance Retreat happen, just take the leap of faith, you will have no regrets!
-Beth K
"I don't know the last time, if ever, I was able to say that a travel experience "changed my life" - this one changed me. We were in such a beautiful house, so relaxed, with beautiful souls, and led/guided by incredible and inspiring humans. We got to eat AMAZING food. I didn't want to leave. Greta and Rosie planned the most magical experience and I can't put into words how grateful I am. I came back from the retreat with tools to use in my daily life and am STILL riding the wave of inspiration from this retreat. Everything was perfect and I can't recommend it enough."
-Anna T
Attending the Radiance Retreat with Greta and Rosie was nothing short of transformative. My wife and I had an incredible experience immersing ourselves in the power of human design, kundalini practices, and deeply healing sound baths. The retreat provided a space for self-discovery, connection, and alignment with our higher selves, all while being surrounded by a community of like-minded individuals. Greta and Rosie created an environment that was both welcoming and expansive, allowing us to explore new depths of personal growth. If you’re looking for a retreat that nurtures mind, body, and spirit, this is it. We left feeling recharged, inspired, and more connected than ever. Highly recommend! It will change your life.

Spiritual Growth
Expanding your self awareness and developing your consciousness is essential for creating a peaceful and fulfilling life. We provide experiential workshops that allow you to release limiting beliefs so you can connect with your highest potential. Our retreats are designed to give you a lasting transformation that extends well beyond our time together.
Connection
Connecting with like minded people, connecting with yourself and connecting with nature are what make the retreat experience so precious. We curate safe spaces for participants to disconnect from life’s distractions so they can share their stories, be present with themselves and experience the world with relaxed presence. This supports the entire group to see new perspectives, open their hearts and experience more authentic relationships with each other.
Nourishment
Taking time out of your busy life to focus on self-care, rest, unplug, reflect and heal is necessary to find balance in our fast-paced world. When you’re constantly giving to others, you must give back to yourself so you can show up more fully for your relationships, career and other responsibilities. We are passionate about serving delicious and nutritious meals, creating downtime in the schedule for relaxation and fostering a healing environment so you go home feeling well rested and rejuvenated.
Adventure
Getting out of your comfort zone to travel and explore new terrain is medicine for your soul. Visiting unique destinations awakens your adventurous spirit and pleases your inner child. It’s fun and exciting to open yourself to different environments, cultures and ways of life. This supports you in being more creative, playful and present. We always choose retreat locations that are beautiful, inspiring and offer a variety of expansive experiences.
