Every woman deserves a moment:
-
to heal
-
to replenish
-
to nourish and be nourished
-
to reflect
-
to connect with her inner compass and all that brings her joy.
And every woman deserves time alone in Nature in the solitude and brilliance of her own company.
Nourish Your Soul Women’s Wellness Retreat is intentionally curated to give you that moment for yourself and to support you in taking a much-needed respite from your day to day. This four-day, three-night experience, hosted by Marsha Rivera and Casie Formiller, is for the woman who holds it all together on her job, in her household, in her business, and for her family and friends and for a few days, would welcome the chance to be poured into her true self, mentally, emotionally, and physically. It is for the woman who is seeking to refill her creative coffers amidst the stunning pink sunsets and healing vortexes of the expansive and picturesque Ojai valley.
