Are you ready to create unforgettable memories with a circle of strong and amazing women!! Are you ready to have the vacation of a lifetime?
Discover the Magic of the Arizona Desert
Imagine escaping to the breathtaking desert landscape of Scottsdale, Arizona, where golden sunsets, towering cacti, and moments of stillness meet adventure and connection. This retreat is designed for women who want to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with themselves in a supportive and let loose kind of environment. Don’t get me wrong, I want this to be a riveting experience, but we won’t be changing anyone’s life in one weekend.
With activities like hiking to Camelback Mountain at golden hour, kayaking on the Salt River, and some yoga poses, this retreat is about shifting viewpoints and finding ways to make movement and self reflection a larger component of everyday life.
You’ll leave this retreat after having made friends with 8 or so new besties who will continue to cheer you on from afar!
Who is this retreat for?
The Run Your Life Scottsdale Retreat is for loose lipped women who are ready to jump out of their daily routines and embrace a journey of self-discovery with strangers. You love balance—but you also want to say “Fuck it” every now and then in order to have meaningful conversations and trauma bond with complete strangers during stunning evenings filled with good food and great company.
You’re someone who thrives on connection, loves to immerse yourself in everything self-care, but without taking yourself too seriously. You want to celebrate life’s moments, big and small, like a champagne toast after a hike or a cozy group dinner under the stars.
If this sounds like you, you belong here!
At this retreat, we focus on living our best lives, not on speed, size, or calories.
Scottsdale, Arizona is not just a destination; it’s an experience. This retreat offers the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and community:
Slow, unwinding mornings designed to help you recharge.
Morning journaling practises, yoga and golden hour hikes to kayaking along the scenic Salt River.
Delicious meals, including private breakfasts, packed lunches, and unforgettable dinners.
A serene setting in a beautiful Airbnb, where you can relax, reflect, and connect.
A supportive group of women ready to cheer each other on every step of the way.
You’ll leave Scottsdale with more than memories—you’ll leave with a deeper connection to yourself and a new cheer squad who will cheer you on from afar!
