2027 Retreats are Here!

Jul 31, 2026
Connect

Morning, Collective,

We are still coming down from Portugal.

Eight days of  narrative therapy, movement, creative writing, and a group of women who showed up ready to do real work. I keep coming back to something one of our travelers wrote to us afterward:

"I really learned to find myself again, as I was starting to lose myself and feel very depressed and overwhelmed with everything going on with work and my personal life, and I feel like I was able to open up and free the traumas from my body."

That's the whole reason we do this.

Another traveler put it simply:

"Felipe's way of movement and breathing helped me feel the most relaxed I've felt in many years."

And on Irene's writing workshops:

"Loved being pulled out of my comfort zone and learning from Irene. She's top tier and a true gem."

We listened, too. You told us you wanted more unstructured time to write and create, and a little more breathing room between excursions. We heard you, and it's already shaping how we're building 2027.

So here's what's next...

The 2027 Retreats

Morocco — Sacred Geometry: Seeing the World Through Pattern

April 21–27, 2027. 

Think Hammam Spas and fancy brunches and perfumeries.  Textiles and spices.  Workshops on abundance and quantum leaping mixed with desert camel rides. When we asked our Portugal group which retreat they were most excited for next, this was the runaway answer. Cultural immersion, abundance, and a luxury riad already secured for our group. 

Portugal — From Curiosity to Embodiment

July 17–24, 2027

We're bringing it back. Same spirit, refined by everything you told us; more time in Algarve, more space to create, less time rushing between cities.

Dominican Republic - ANOTHER Girls Trip 

April 1–8, 2027.

The February girls trip sold out in a week, so we are doing a second one in April.  Private villa with an AMAZING chef, a week of bbqs, boats, massages, and good vibes.  No homework necessary! There are only 7 rooms in our villa, so if you're interested in this trip, let us know ASAP.

NYC — Practical Magic: Re-Authoring Your Story Through the Magic Square January 15–18, 2027 Can't get away for a full week? Start here. A weekend of movement, narrative therapy, and creative writing right in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Led by Felipe and Irene, the master team from Portugal.

What to do next

If any of these retreats are calling you, reply to this email with your interest and a member of our team will get back to you.  We are excited to travel through 2027 with you!

With Gratitude,

Daniele

The Challenge I Have Been Working On For YEARS.
Hello Beautiful Souls, At the beginning of this summer, I had a conversation with a woman in the collective that took me out. She was articulate, deeply self-aware, and had clearly done years of inner work. She could name every pattern, trace every wound back to its origin, and describe with surgical precision the exact moment her boundaries collapsed in any given situation.  Then, she said wha...
You Gave Your Students Everything. This Is Yours.
A new scholarship for educators, worth two thousand dollars toward any Yinsa retreat. All of my friends IRL are teachers.  Almost twenty years in a New York  classroom taught me something most people never see from the outside. Educators give constantly, all year long, and very rarely does anyone ask them how they are doing. During the pandemic, I realized how much of myself I was giving to my ...
Burning It All To The Ground...
I haven't been in a classroom in four years. After spending over two decades in schools, the last time I worked with kids in a school was June, 2022. That shifted this summer in the most bizarre way possible. Here's the story. Within seven days in early June, I onboarded two new partners for my company, launched the Yinsa Foundation non-profit, and transitioned from an LLC to a Corporation. The...
