A self-love retreat for
slowing down, receiving
 fully, & reconnecting with the person you spend your whole life with: you.

February 13-18th, 2027

Over Valentine’s week, we’re returning to the colorful surf town of Sayulita, Mexico for the fourth time as a community to create space to be deeply cared for, move in ways that feel good, connect meaningfully, and remember how worthy you already are of a life that feels beautiful.

The Love Within Retreat is a five-night invitation to slow down, receive deeply, and experience what it feels like to be fully cared for. An Embodiment of Self-Love + Worthiness.

Imagine five days where every detail is thoughtfully taken care of so that you can nourish the most tender corners of your heart.  You wake up to the sound of the Pacific, sip fresh coffee with your journal overlooking the ocean, and move your body beneath the warm morning sun.

This retreat is designed to balance meaningful inner work, embodied movement, playful adventure, community, and spacious time to simply be.

Each day will include a thoughtful blend of:


✨ High-vibrational practices — Kundalini yoga, breathwork, sound healing, yoga nidra, and meditation to reconnect with your energy, regulate your nervous system, and create space within
✨ Self-love + reflection — journaling, transformational workshops, and guided conversations designed to soften your inner dialogue, deepen self-trust, and help you meet yourself with more compassion
✨ Embodied movement — Empowered Movement, stretching, somatic release, and mindful strength to help you reconnect with your body in a way that feels supportive, intuitive, and good
Adventure + exploration — surfing warm waves, jungle hikes, secret beaches, and discovering the colorful magic of Sayulita
✨ Community + connection — shared meals, connection circles, honest conversations, laughter, and meaningful time with open-hearted people
✨ Rest + integration — poolside relaxation, contrast therapy, beach walks, slow mornings with coffee and ocean breezes, and plenty of time to do absolutely nothing

We encourage participation in all offerings, but this retreat is also about honoring what you need. If that means sleeping in, taking a long walk on the beach, skipping an activity for pool time, or wandering into town for the afternoon, that’s part of the experience too. Everything is optional! This trip is for you. 

What to Expect:

This retreat is for the soul seekers, the adventurers, the ones ready to press pause on the noise of daily life and truly reconnect with themselves.

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.

You’re open-minded, big-hearted, and curious, drawn to personal growth, spirituality, and deep conversations that spark new perspectives. You’re eager to explore, connect with like-minded souls, and immerse yourself in an experience that nourishes your mind, body, and spirit.

This retreat is for you if you’re longing to:

✔️ Step away from responsibility and let someone else handle the details
✔️  Rest without feeling like you have to earn it
✔️  Soften your inner dialogue and speak to yourself with more compassion
✔️  Reconnect with your body through movement that feels good
✔️  Love who you are now, not just who you’re becoming
✔️  Connect with open-hearted people who value growth and real conversation
✔️  Feel playful, adventurous, and inspired again
✔️  Experience Sayulita through surfing, food, nature, culture, and connection
✔️  Return home with practices that help you keep choosing yourself

This experience is open to all genders, backgrounds, and levels of experience. You don’t need to practice yoga regularly, consider yourself spiritual, or even arrive feeling completely confident. Simply come with an open heart, a kind spirit, and a willingness to meet yourself where you are at.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

"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."

-Danny L

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.
