I can’t say enough good things about attending the Radiant Renewal Retreat hosted by the amazing Erin… It was seriously transformative and what my broken momma heart needed… The place was beautiful, the food was top notch, the staff was so wonderful all the activities and yoga were helpful to assist me to feel alive again… and he ladies that came will always have a special place in my heart. I will definitely attend next year and hopefully bring some friends because I know how much this investment I made in myself will help me move forward with my grief…

The first time I met Erin and she was holding a retreat for yin yoga and grief, I knew I had to go. Erin made the experience so safe and comfortable and I was really able to celebrate me and being there for Day of The Dead. Erin provided a top notch elegant and rejuvenating retreat. I made some lifelong friends. I would definitely come back again to do another Radiant Renewal Retreat with Erin. I still feel so recharged, it was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much Erin for this gift.
Happy clients

What if I’m not sure I’m ready for something like this?
You don’t need to feel ready. Most women who come feel unsure, overwhelmed, or even hesitant. This retreat is a space to arrive exactly as you are. There is nothing you need to fix or figure out before coming.
Do I need to have experience with yoga?
No, not at all. The yoga offered is very gentle and beginner-friendly. It is not about how it looks or doing it “right.” It is simply a way to help your body soften, breathe, and release what it’s been holding. Everything is optional.
Is this only for mothers who have lost a child?
This retreat is created with grieving mothers in mind, especially those who have lost a child. At the same time, if you are a woman carrying deep grief and feel drawn to this space, you are welcome.
Is this only for recent loss?
No. You are welcome wherever you are in your grief journey.
What will the days feel like?
There is a gentle rhythm to each day. Some time will be spent in movement, some in quiet reflection, and some in connection with others. There is always space to step back, rest, or simply be with yourself when you need to.
What if I become emotional or overwhelmed?
That is completely okay. This is a space where your emotions are welcome. You will be held with care and compassion, and you are never expected to share more than you feel comfortable with. Its normal, we all do.
Will I have time to myself?
Yes. There will be moments of connection, but also time for rest, quiet, journaling, or simply sitting with your thoughts. You are free to take the space you need.
What is included in the retreat?
Your stay includes your accommodations, daily gentle yoga, guided support sessions, shared circles, nourishing meals, and healing experiences such as the temazcal and Day of the Dead rituals. There are also optional extras like massages or excursions if you feel called to them. We also do a dance party to our kids and our favorite music.

The retreat takes place in a private oceanfront villa in Akumal, Mexico. It is a quiet, beautiful place surrounded by nature, created to support rest and healing.

A deposit is required to hold your space. If something changes, please reach out and we can talk through the options together. If you can cancel 90 days b before the retreat, there is no refund. PLEASE ENSURE YOU GET TRAVEL INSURANCE.
How do I know if this is right for me?
If something in you feels drawn to this, even in a quiet way, that is worth listening to. You don’t need to have certainty. Just a willingness to take a small step.
