AWAKEN women's retreat
November 7-13, 2027
Cadiz, Spain
There are so many versions of ourselves we move through every day.
The professional. The partner. The mother. The daughter. The friend. The caretaker. The one who keeps everything moving.
And sometimes, beneath all those roles, it can become difficult to hear the quieter voice asking:
What do I actually want?
Who am I becoming?
What do I want to cultivate in my life now?
Travel has a beautiful way of interrupting the familiar. When we step outside our routines, our responsibilities and the expectations that surround us, there is room to discover ourselves again.
AWAKEN is an intimate women's retreat designed to create that space.
For one week, we'll gather in beautiful Sotogrande, Spain to slow down, move, breathe, reflect, explore and connect—with ourselves and with one another.
Through yoga, meditation, self-identity work, meaningful conversation and time to simply be, you'll have space to deepen your relationship with yourself and listen for what is asking to emerge.
And you'll do it alongside a wonderful community of women. Because sometimes the friendships we make when we're away from home become the ones we carry home with us.
The Experience
Some days will be structured. Some will be spacious. And some of the most meaningful moments may happen in between. Each day will offer a balance of:
Movement & Stillness
Twice each day, we'll gather for yoga and reflection workshops designed to bring you back into your body, quiet the noise and create space for awareness.
Kelly will lead the retreat, with some yoga sessions co-led by Heather Keitz. Practices will be welcoming and accessible, with an emphasis on connection rather than performance.
Whether you're an experienced practitioner or simply curious about yoga, this retreat is an opportunity to use movement, breath and meditation as tools for coming home to yourself.
Reflection
Who are you when you step away from the roles you've become accustomed to playing? And what happens when you give yourself permission to explore that question without needing an immediate answer?
Throughout the week, we'll explore identity, values, desires and the life we're creating through guided reflection, conversation and experiential practices.
This isn't about reinventing yourself. It's about getting quiet enough to notice yourself. To recognize what feels true. To notice what no longer fits. And to become more intentional about what you want to cultivate when you return home.
A Week in Spain
We'll gather at a private Mediterranean retreat property in Torreguadiaro, Sotogrande. Our retreat home is made up of four luxury casitas overlooking the port and beach.
The property includes a private saltwater swimming pool, communal and private patios, Mediterranean gardens and a 400m² rooftop terrace with expansive views. It's intimate enough to feel personal and spacious enough to give everyone room to retreat when they want it.
This is a place designed for lingering. Morning coffee. Bare feet. Long conversations. Afternoon swims. Sunset from the rooftop. A walk to the beach. And the luxury of having nowhere you need to be.
Excursions
Our Included Excursion: Gibraltar
One day we'll leave the retreat behind and cross the border into Gibraltar for an adventure together. We'll explore the iconic Rock, taking in sweeping views across the Mediterranean and toward Africa, experience the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, and have time to explore Gibraltar's unique blend of nature, history and culture. Depending on the final itinerary, our day may include a guided Rock tour, the cable car, St. Michael's Cave, the Skywalk and time in Gibraltar's town center. This will be our one included group excursion—a day to get curious, see something extraordinary and share an experience we'll remember together.
Optional Excursions
There will also be opportunities to explore more of the surrounding area during free time. Depending on interest, optional experiences may include beach and coastal outings, time in Sotogrande and the marina, local food and cultural experiences, or additional day trips. These experiences will be optional and offered at an additional cost.
There will always be another perfectly good option, too: Stay at the retreat. Rest. Read. Swim. Nap. Journal. Do absolutely nothing. You don't have to make the most of every minute.

Our private retreat property offers 10 guest rooms across four beautifully appointed casitas. All prices are per person for the full 7-day / 6-night retreat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all. AWAKEN is designed for women at a variety of stages in their yoga practice. The emphasis is on connecting with yourself rather than achieving a particular level of flexibility, strength or experience. Come exactly as you are.
Yes. AWAKEN is a women's retreat created to provide space for connection, reflection, exploration and meaningful conversation among women.
Please do! In fact, many women may arrive not knowing anyone else. One of the beautiful parts of a retreat like this is the opportunity to meet women you might never otherwise cross paths with. You'll have plenty of opportunities to connect through yoga, shared meals, conversations and experiences—but you'll also have space and permission to spend time on your own.
Absolutely. You can register together and request to share a twin room. If you'd prefer a private double-bed room, those are also available at the higher accommodation rate.
We'll be staying in four luxury casitas at a private Mediterranean retreat property. There are two accommodation options: Twin rooms ($2,695 per person) with two twin beds and shared bathrooms, and Double rooms with ensuite ($3,495 per person) with a double bed and private bathroom. Room availability is limited, so we recommend reserving your preferred room category early.
Your retreat investment includes six nights of accommodation, three daily meals, twice-daily yoga and reflection workshops, meditation, sessions led by Kelly with some yoga co-led by Heather Keitz, the included group excursion to Gibraltar, retreat activities, group experiences, time to enjoy the beautiful retreat property, and space to rest, reflect and connect.
Airfare and travel to and from Sotogrande are not included. Travel insurance, optional excursions, personal purchases and any other expenses not specifically listed as included are also not included.
Yes. Three nourishing daily meals are included. Meals will be part of the experience, with time to gather around the table, enjoy good food and connect with one another. We will collect information about any dietary restrictions, allergies, or special considerations when you register so our catering team can plan accordingly.
November in southern Spain is generally mild and pleasant, although temperatures can vary and evenings may be cooler. We'll recommend packing layers so you're comfortable for morning yoga, outdoor time, excursions and evenings.
The closest major airports are Málaga Airport (AGP) and Gibraltar International Airport (GIB). We'll provide more detailed arrival and transportation information as the retreat gets closer.
We'll provide recommended transportation options and arrival information before the retreat.

Yes. In addition to our included Gibraltar excursion, we'll offer opportunities for optional excursions and experiences in the surrounding area. These will be completely optional and will be available at an additional cost. And if you'd rather stay at the retreat, swim, read, nap, journal or simply do nothing—you are absolutely encouraged to do that too.
There will be plenty. While we'll gather twice each day for yoga and reflection workshops, AWAKEN is not meant to be a packed schedule. There will be time to sleep in, walk to the beach, sit by the pool, read, journal, explore or simply be. You don't have to maximize your retreat.
This is an opportunity for reflection and exploration—not therapy and not a requirement to "fix" anything. We'll use guided questions, journaling, conversation and experiential practices to explore questions around identity, values, desires and what you want to cultivate in your life. You can participate at the level that feels right for you.
No. One of the intentions of AWAKEN is to give you more choice—not another schedule of obligations. You're welcome to participate in the experiences that call to you and take quiet time when you need it.
Absolutely. If you'd like to extend your time in Spain before or after the retreat, you're welcome to arrange additional nights independently. We'll provide information about recommended accommodations and transportation as the retreat approaches.
A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your space. The remaining balance will be billed in monthly increments, with the final payment processed no later than 30 days before departure.
The $1,000 deposit is non-refundable. Because this retreat involves advance commitments to accommodations, transportation and other vendors, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that includes trip cancellation and interruption coverage to protect your investment.
Yes—we highly recommend it. Travel insurance can help protect your investment if unexpected circumstances affect your ability to travel. Be sure to review the policy carefully to understand what is and isn't covered.
We'll send a detailed packing list before the retreat. In general, you'll want comfortable clothing for yoga and movement, layers for November weather, a swimsuit, walking shoes, something comfortable for excursions, and anything that helps you feel at home while you're away. And bring a journal. You may have more to say to yourself than you expect.
Please reach out to us before registering if you have an injury, mobility limitation or other concern that you think may affect your participation. Yoga practices can be adapted, and our intention is to create a welcoming and inclusive experience. However, this retreat is not designed to provide medical treatment or rehabilitation.
The retreat is intentionally intimate, with accommodation for a limited number of women. We want there to be enough people to create meaningful community while still preserving the feeling of a personal retreat.
Once your deposit is received, you'll receive confirmation of your place and information about next steps. As we get closer to November 2027, we'll send detailed information about travel, packing, transportation, the retreat schedule and what to expect. Then your only job is to get yourself to Spain. We'll take it from there.
