Embodied wOman retreat
Activate Your Ancient Feminine Wisdom & Magic
sedona, az
november 6-9, 2025
Since the beginning of time, women have gathered in rhythm with the Earth.
Not randomly—but in sacred timing. At sacred sites.
the Holy threshold of Samhain—
The midpoint between Fall Equinox and Winter Solstice—
is one of those times.
Known across cultures & around the world as the Day of the Dead, All Souls’ Day, Halloween & by countless other names, every tradition agrees—
this is the moment of the year when
the veil between the worlds grows thin
& Healing Magic is afoot
This is a sacred moment of the year to…
🔥 Rekindle your inner soul flame,
🔥 Burn away what no longer serves,
🔥 Unleash your sensual body,
🔥 Clear limiting beliefs and…
Reclaim the
ancient power of
your wild,
untamable
feminine essence.
It’s the time of the year to do the shadow work
that frees your lineage,
to receive the support of your ancestors,
to celebrate the precious brevity of life itself.
It’s the time to
root down,
replenish,
remember who you truly are &
Why You’re here.
Welcome to
embodied woman retreat
A Living Ceremony of Feminine Power,
Healing, and Juicy Embodied Liberation
november 6-9, 2025
sedona, az
does this sound like you?
You’re a badass woman walking your path of purpose.
But some patterns still loop…
You crave ease & sacred flow.
You long to feel at home and turned on in your body—
to walk like a temple &
become a living, breathing prayer.
You know you’re here not only here to make a difference—
but to change the world.
To be a FORCE of healing for the planet.
And yet…
There are moments you still feel like you’re carrying too much.
Not just your to-do list, but
Generations of pressure, perfectionism, trauma and/or exhaustion.
You’ve done the healing. The therapy. The yoga.
But something deeper is calling now….
Enter into a healing cocoon of
Sisterhood &
Feminine Restoration
under the Full Moon
Together, we'll dance, sing, laugh, transform, pray, play, get raw and real and celebrate each other as we shed layers that keep us disconnected from our true souls and full expression
the kind of healing you crave can’t be done online.
Rewiring your nervous system & your lineage — It takes women, face to face— breathing the same air, sharing the same fire,
Laughing, dancing, singing, celebrating.
It takes YOU stepping away from the world’s demands—
So you can drink deeply from the well of your own nourishment &
be fed by the land, the sacred women’s circle.
what to Expect on YOur pilgrimage
Awaken your body, open your heart, and realign your spirit with its deepest truth.
Alongside kindred souls, you’ll move with the rhythm of nature and step into ceremonies that remind you of the sacredness of your path.
This pilgrimage is an invitation: to let go of what no longer serves you, to honor the wisdom within, and to walk forward carrying clarity & a rekindled sense of purpose.

meet your soul guide
Welcome, Sister.
For the past 14 years of guiding transformational retreats, teaching, coaching, and mentoring women leaders, I’ve witnessed the life-altering impact of sisterhood, nature communion, healing movement, and Earth-based ritual to awaken our feminine energy—our intuition, inherent worthiness, heart wisdom, creativity, and leadership rooted in love.
Starting at an early age, I was plagued by eating disorders and perfectionism. Heralded as high achiever - the more I was applauded, the sicker I became. After discovering yoga, meditation and Buddhism - my life changed dramatically. But it wasn’t until I discovered women’s moon circles, shamanic vision quests in nature, and ancestral ritual that I unlocked the missing link to women’s healing, pleasure, and empowerment.
Today, I not only communicate regularly with my ancestors in simple and sweet ways on the daily—receiving their loving guidance and support whenever I need—but also carry transmissions from ancient priestess lineages that live in my bones. It’s my joy & pleasure to share these ancient ways and to witness women’s lives transform as they step into them.
I’ve been initiated as a Priestess in three countries and have guided hundreds of women on this sacred path of Feminine Awakening.
Sister, you already know—you are part of this great remembrance.
Each step you take into your embodied feminine power ripples outward, healing lineages and shaping the future of life on Earth. I can't wait to join you in this once-in-a-lifetime Samhain ceremony weekend on the land.
sedona
womb of the red rocks
Sedona is not a random retreat location—it is the global pilgrimage site for women seeking to activate ancient memory of the Divine feminine from within their DNA.
More than a National Park or scenic wonder—Sedona is a living temple.
The crimson cliffs mirror the red of womb blood—reminding you that your body is sacred, cyclical, and powerful beyond belief.
Oak Creek winds through the desert like a lifeline, carrying the memory of Indigenous medicine women who walked this path before us. This is where we’ll release what no longer serves, letting the water carry it away in ritual.
We’ll enter the Birthing Caves to shed the old, rebirthing ourselves through sacred ceremony.
And we’ll ascend Cathedral Rock, standing in the center of a jaw dropping, prehistoric landscape that stretches to the edge of time—to proclaim our visions aloud, declaring our commitment of what we’re here to create to ourselves, our ancestors and each-other.
These sites have long been revered as portals for feminine rites of passage, healing, and spiritual activation.
In Hopi myth, the red Earth is the blood of Spider Woman, the creatrix who spun the world into being. We’ll harness her energy to rewrite your story—personal, ancestral, and planetary.
you’re not just investing in a retreat.
You’re investing in the woman you came here to be.

“I feel sensual, I feel sexy, I feel powerful.
Emotions unleashed, soul awakened. More, please.
I shed much needed tears as I let go of stress I’ve been carrying around FOR YEARS barely realizing it. I deepened my understanding of and connection to the Goddess, the land, my ancestors and my own body. The meditative hiking, dance, yoga and sharing unfolded my petals. I’m blossoming. Thank you.”

Maren Madelyn
Writer & Educational Consultant
“Hayley is uniquely talented in creating sacred space for healing, where they artfully ground ancient practices in the realities of being a modern woman in the modern world. I was blessed to experience these containers twice, once in Tahoe and again in Sedona.
During each retreat, reverence was cultivated not only for the original wisdom keepers of these practices (including the indigenous peoples of both sacred sites and that of my own European ancestry) but also for the original and unique wisdom encoded in every woman who attended.
If you seek to realign to your soul’s blueprint and remember your own inherent wisdom—whether you take that first step on the journey or wish to delve deeper on your path—then this retreat is the container for you.”

“I wish every woman could experience something like this.
Hayley is a breathtakingly gifted retreat leader who weaves a rare kind of magic—creating spaces that are both wildly fun and profoundly transformational.
The moment you step in, you feel safe, connected, and inspired in a way that’s impossible to put into words.
I tell woman about her retreats all the time because they are THAT powerful for restoring the feminine body and heart.”

“This sacred women’s retreat is a peak experience of a lifetime and was a HUGE game changer for me.Through our practices, I released childhood wounding and trauma around my body, my voice and creative expression and gained deeper confidence in my soul gifts and passions. That first retreat awakened a steadfast commitment to my spiritual path that has sustained and deepened to this day - eight years later, after many more retreats with her.“

“My heart feels more open than it has in a long while, bolstered by the roots of our amazing sisterhood and the transformative experience of the past week. Because of your kind, loving guidance and visionary teaching, we were able to get raw and vulnerable in a way that created deep connection and healing.
This powerful retreat helped connect me back to my spiritual practice and the artistry of mindfulness in my body. So much Gratitude.”

Life altering. From beginning to end - an awe inspiring experience.
From the first moment I arrived and Hayley embraced me, I felt relaxed and knew I was in the right place.
Her passion, wisdom and innate ability to deeply unite a group is inspiring.
She created a meaningful personal connection with every single woman before we even arrived and then customized the ceremonies and movement experiences based on what we were going through and needing.
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and can’t wait for the next one.”

Teen Leadership Education Specialist + World Traveller
“We couldn't have had a better guide, guru, poet, and teacher, Hayley is intuitive, compassionate and inspiring. We were taken care of from start to finish. She gave us plenty of preparation and guidance before the trip and upon arrival and gave everyone actual gifts (#hippiepartyfavors) to deepen our engagement with nature.
The sharing circles and movement classes were empowering and deepened relationships between all of us - there was a lot of laughter, jokes, games and dancing! Hayley took time to connect with each of us and make sure we were fully comfortable and taken care of.
Since returning, I’ve been tapping into my breathing and meditation as an instinctive response to stressful events which means I’m more grateful and present with my family, my work and most importantly - myself.”

Anita Malan
Physical Therapist
“Something totally indescribable & magical happened on this retreat.
Every ceremony, every practice, every experience built upon the next- deeper and deeper.
We cried, we danced, we shed weight from our shoulders.
For me, this was a reminder of who I REALLY am and what women are capable of when we unite.
Since the retreat I stand taller, my face is more relaxed, I’m more patient with my children, I’m more attracted to my partner because I feel more attractive.
As Hayley says, when we change, everything around us changes.
Worth every penny and more.”

Jennine Jordan
Director of Development for Various Indigenous Tribal Organizations
“I’ve adventured on yoga and wellness retreats all over the world, and I can honestly say this was one of my most beautifully curated & transformative experiences yet. Hayley has such a loving, kind presence—she immediately makes everyone feel seen, safe, and welcome. The women she attracts, each one on her own healing journey, are truly fascinating and created an inspiring, supportive sisterhood.
The depth of the practices blew me away: from the sweat lodge and sacred ceremonies to live music, hiking in the nature paradise of Costa Rica, and the nourishing food, teas and mealtime rituals. There was so much joy in the dance, and such deep replenishment in the body-loving yoga.
This wasn’t just another retreat—it was a journey of healing, connection, and awakening that I’ll carry with me forever”

“Hayley is a truly extraordinary space holder, facilitator, and healer. She weaves her many gifts—soulful movement, body-nourishing practices, and a gift for creating deep group connection—into experiences that feel one-of-a-kind.
This retreat opened me to spiritual practices I may never have discovered otherwise, practices that have since become part of my own rhythm and offerings. The ripple effect continues to enrich my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
Everything Hayley offers is infused with care, soul, and intention. Her retreats are high-value on every level—healing, inspiring, and transformational. I wholeheartedly recommend saying yes to the journey with her.”

First, submit your application to join us. Once approved, you’ll receive an email with a payment link. Your spot will be held for 24 hours until your full payment is received.
-
Yes! We offer flexible monthly payment plans as low as $140/month, including options through Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay, and PayPal. Paying in full during the early bird window via Venmo, Zelle, or CashApp qualifies you for our lowest pricing.
-
This retreat is a once-in-a-lifetime offering. We have no plans to repeat this exact initiation experience in Sedona. The power of this retreat is in its timing, location, and the synergy between our co-facilitation—combining years of somatic, spiritual, and ancestral healing modalities. If you feel called, the time to act is now.
-
We are a huge fan of online courses and women's circles but there are certain experiences that only work in person.
During our gathering, Hayley is fully devoted in service to your healing and transformation. Joining her in person is the only way to receive this depth of her guidance as a facilitator short of booking a private retreat with her that begins upwards of $12,000.
Live retreat is the only place where Hayley facilitates her signature dance meditations and where we do embodied ritual work directly on the land. Sedona has ample Divine Feminine codes for women with receptive wombs. There is nothing like building relationship with sacred land and receiving direct guidance for your personal soul path.
Imagine being completely embraced by a sacred circle of sisters in the flesh. There are no words for this experience and the years of healing that can occur in only one week. -
Samhain (pronounced “s-ow-in”) is a Celtic feast day marking the thinning of the veil between worlds. It's the basis of what later became Halloween, and All's Saint's/All Soul's Day. It’s a powerful time for ancestral healing and connection, visioning, and honoring what’s ready to be released and reborn. Gathering during Samhain deepens the potency of this retreat as a sacred initiation into your lineage, your voice, and your path.
-
Yes! While most will journey alone, we encourage established friendships to strengthen the cohesion of our entire group.
When you sign up with another woman or a friend is referred by you later, each of you receive $200 off your registration. If you've already paid, this comes in the form of a direct deposit refund. We are grateful and honored to receive your referral! -
Most women come solo—and leave with soul sisters. You’ll be welcomed into a sacred, nonjudgmental container where vulnerability is honored, and connection arises naturally. Many participants say the sisterhood formed here is one of the most lasting gifts of the retreat.
-
What we now call Sedona sits on the ancestral lands of the Yavapai, Apache, Hopi, Diné (Navajo) Nations. Of course, as ancestral medicine keepers, we honor the original stewards of this land—their wisdom, resilience, and enduring presence. As part of our commitment to cultural respect and reciprocity, a portion of all retreat proceeds will be donated directly to the Hopi Nations Arts & Education Fund.

A note from Haylyey...
We’ve price this event as low as possible while still being able to bring you the best that I and my trained Priestesses + healers have to offer you.
This program is a compilation of 17 years of facilitation, space holding, study, practice and initiation through global spiritual lineages. I've invested thousands of hours and more than $100,000 dollars in advanced trainings, global Priestess pilgrimage and research to offer the alchemy of group women's retreat.
Research shows that funds invested in travel, education and healing ultimately have the highest return on investment in happiness, health and life meaning (Harvard). This journey is priceless and has the potential to profoundly impact your life, your work, and in turn, the abundance you call into your world.
What's worth to you to feel at home in your body and your purpose? -
This is a deep ceremonial experience. We ask that you have some prior experience with somatic, emotional, or spiritual practices such as yoga, breathwork, therapy, or women’s circles. If you’re unsure, reach out and we’ll help you discern if this is the right fit.
-
Fall is the most beautiful moment of the year to visit Sedona.
Early November in Sedona brings comfortable daytime highs in the mid-60s to low 70's °F (18–22 °C) and crisp evenings with lows in the mid-30s and 40s °F (2–7 °C) . Skies are usually clear, with only a slight chance (~10–12%) of light rain or flurries .
It’s the perfect season for walking barefoot in the red rocks during the day and cozying up by moonlit fires at night.
-
You’ll receive guidance and suggestions for accommodations in a variety of price ranges—from ceremonial shared homes to luxe private stays. Four limited spaces are available in the home temple space itself—first come, first serve. You’ll also be connected with the group to coordinate shared lodging if desired.
-
Fly into Phoenix (PHX) and rent a car, grab the shuttle, or coordinate a shared ride with fellow retreat participants. We’ll support this through our private group chat portal once your spot is confirmed.
-
Absolutely. We recommend arriving at least one day before and staying at least one day after to fully drop in and integrate. This helps your body ease into the experience and transition out with grace and spaciousness.
