A Personal Development Retreat for the Modern Mother Seeking self-remembrance
Alive will offer you the *giant deep breath* your soul is craving now
You are worthy of a personal development experience that feels like an answered prayer
In "her" words:
- "Being away for several days taking care of me allowed my nervous system to recenter itself. I can breathe again without the burden of worry."
- "I experienced a true sense of belonging. I surrendered and am now radiating so much love."
- "This was an experience of PURE MAGIC for me."
- "A lot of stuck energy and emotions were released. I was able to tackle the things I've been procrastinating on."
- "I cried so many tears that I lost count. I am not someone who typically cries. The retreat left me raw, yet totally free."
- "I was able to connect with the divine light in me and feel safe, and at home in my mind and body. "
- "It's hard to really explain what occurred during these 4 days, but I really felt my heart open and I felt such a sense of calm and peace that everything always works out for me and I felt divinely guided and supported."
- "I felt home in my body and definitely got glimpses of my higher self."
- "I experienced purity, sisterhood, creation, vulnerability, and the embodiment of love. My heart chakra opened wide. I feel as though I have completely cleared out old ways of being and I have Awakened into the essence of my true self."
- "My heart feels more open and lighter and almost as if it has expanded. My soul feels hugged. I feel more grounded and free and alive!"
"This was a weekend unlike anything I've ever experienced in my 39 years!"

Personal development doesn’t have to be heavy, hard, and uncomfortable.
There’s a better way... It can be inspiring.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP!
For the woman who feels the quiet ache for more—more presence, more freedom, more of herself. The Alive Retreat is a four-day journey into self-remembrance, where nature’s rhythms + soulful experiences guide her back home.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP!
In the four weeks leading up to the retreat, we’ll meet weekly as a group for a Gene Key study designed to deepen your self-awareness and sense of purpose. Through this process, you’ll begin to understand your challenges as opportunities for growth and strengthen your inner voice—your intuition.
FIRST, we begin
We’ll start with a 1:1 Zoom call where Ciara will get to know you and your intentions for the retreat. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and what’s calling you forward. This is your space to clarify your deeper desires and align with your “why” before we gather in person.
THEN, we prepare
In person, we’ll nurture your body, mind, and soul through transformative healing modalities. You’ll uncover your next steps toward a more aligned, self-expressed, and fully alive version of you—your most feminine, wild, and free self. This retreat will shift your perspective on life and why you are here which will impact how you see yourself moving forward.
THEN, we gather
come alive and see yourself in a new light

harmonize the body + the mind through somatic movement practices
Your body holds wisdom, energy, and truth—it just needs space to be heard. Through sacred movement and somatic practices, you’ll release tension, recalibrate your nervous system, and experience harmony of the body, mind, and soul. By working with the body in this way, you will learn to move with life, rather than fight against it.

becoming Her
You don’t have to do this thing called LIFE alone. At The Alive Retreat, you’ll be held in a community of like-minded women who are also on the path of self-remembrance, expansion, and embodiment. This space is more than a retreat—it’s a homecoming to the woman you’re ready to become. AND this isn’t just a community—it’s a sisterhood where you can exhale, be witnessed, and rise together (for hopefully, years to come!).

“I was a depleted mom of two, lost in motherhood and stuck in fear. Just 8 weeks later, I’ve reclaimed my joy, presence, and purpose. I know who I am, I trust my intuition, and I’m aligned in mind, body, and spirit. I now choose hope over fear—and I’m walking forward as a woman who is free.”

I recommend this for anyone looking to connect to their most aligned self, so that you can show up better for yourself, your spouse, your kids and community."
next review
"Ciara was like a personal trainer for my soul, and has stretched me in ways I really didn't think were possible. I felt so locked into a track and a mindset, and so defeated, and now I see I can unlock that thinking and open up endless possibilities, but mostly I feel at home in my soul."
