🌸 Your Fantastic Journey to Joy Begins Here
Are you feeling stuck, depleted, or quietly disconnected—from your purpose, your joy, or your sense of self?
Do you feel the tug for something deeper… a sacred pause to breathe, heal, and remember who you truly are beneath all the “shoulds”?
If your soul has been whispering, “There has to be more than this,”—this is your invitation to begin.
Join Leah Johnson, author of Finding Fantastic Joy and TEDx speaker on The Courage to Quit, for a 6-day transformational retreat in Teotihuacan, Mexico—the sacred city where her own rebirth began.
In the shadow of ancient pyramids and under the gaze of the Divine Mother, you’ll step out of the noise and into the truth of who you are. Through creativity, ceremony, and sisterhood, you’ll rediscover your joy—not as a luxury, but as a lifeline.
This retreat is for you if you’re ready to:
Turn pain into purpose through intentional creativity and sacred art (no experience needed—just a willing heart).
Awaken the Divine Feminine within, guided by ritual, reflection, and ancestral wisdom.
Release old patterns of perfection, performance, and people-pleasing—and rise into your authentic power.
Be witnessed in community, knowing you don’t have to heal alone.
Return home to yourself—clearer, braver, and more whole than you’ve felt in years.
Come as you are.
Leave reborn.
Every detail is held with care—all you have to do is say yes to yourself.
Testimonials
“This retreat was something out of my dreams that I didn’t even know was possible. I felt a deep tugging in my spirit that I needed to find a way to go. After breast cancer and the traumas of treatment, I was desperate for healing — to reconnect with myself, to step outside my comfort zone, and to rediscover the magic of life.
From the very beginning, Leah’s calm presence and guidance gave me the courage to take the leap. She answered every question, quieted every fear, and helped me make the impossible feel possible. Because of her leadership, I found myself on the most epic, healing, empowering, and magical journey of my life.
Every single day, I thought it couldn’t get better than the one before — and every day, I was blown away again. The meditations grounded us in presence, the artmaking helped me process and heal on a soul-deep level, and the adventures with like-minded women filled me with hope, courage, and inspiration. There were surprises around every corner, and I grew in ways I never imagined.
By the end of the retreat, I felt reconnected to my spirit, to life, and to possibility. I finally felt like me again. The powerful healing energy of Teotihuacan is beyond words — it touched my heart and spirit and reminded me of what it truly means to be alive.
I would go on every single one of these retreats with Leah again in a heartbeat. I have zero regrets — only endless gratitude and a longing for more. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and I will never forget the magic it brought back into my life.”
