Enjoy your stay at Casa Madrona, morning yoga, delicious meals, and a sunset cruise on a private yacht. Expect powerful conversations, expert facilitation, rejuvenating rituals, deep reflection, and meaningful connections with other remarkable women on the journey to live a life filled with purpose and joy.

- Mindfulness practices, journaling prompts, and self-reflection exercises, to help you gain insight into what truly matters to you – and why.
- Guided visualization exercises, creative expression and mindful movements, to help you tap into your inner knowing and spark your imagination, exploring what’s possible beyond your current path.
- Meaningful group conversations and powerful pair exercises, to help you connect the dots between your past experiences, present values, and future aspirations.
- A safe and spacious environment to help you listen deeply to your inner voice and find the courage to answer the question:

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
