A Girls Trip, Two Global Retreats, and a New Chapter for Our Collective

Feb 23, 2026
Connect

We have many new ways to collect online and in real life, and we can't wait to meet you!

 

 

 

Dear Collective,

There are seasons for healing, seasons for depth, and seasons for pure, unapologetic joy.

This is your invitation into all three....

 

Girls Trip to the Dominican Republic

May 22–25, 202 | Sun, Salt, and Zero Responsibilities

 

This May, we are gathering for something simple and powerful: Fun.

Not shadow work, not processing, not breakthrough sessions.

Just sunshine, sisterhood, and fun.  This is not a retreat, this is a 3-night, 4-day party full of sunshine, sea water, and laughter.  You will leave with a story.

We’ll spend four days in the Dominican Republic soaking up the Caribbean and remembering how good it feels to laugh until your stomach hurts.

What’s included:

  • Barbeque at Api Beach House

  • Private catamaran trip (open bar, music, dancing, freedom)

  • 4-wheel rides to the beach

  • Private chef-prepared meals

  • All meals and excursions included

No planning. No coordinating. No mental load.
You arrive, and we handle the rest.

This is for the woman who wants to reconnect with joy, and make great memories.
Who wants to feel light again, and truly be herself.

The goal is simple: have the best time of your life.


Ignite your Inner Artist - Lisbon and Algarve, Portugal.  July 19-26th.

Portugal is a different energy entirely.

Cliffs over the Algarve. Rooftop sunsets in Lisbon. Storytelling. Reflection. Ocean air that clears your mind.

This retreat blends writing, movement, and cultural immersion. It’s creative, soulful, and deeply restorative. If you’ve been craving space to think, feel, and create — Portugal is the retreat for you.  This one's a real retreat, with two experts on narrative healing, yoga, meditaiton, Fado performances, coastal boat rides, art classes, lots of down time for reflection. This is for those who want to dig deep within.  Are you ready for that?


HEAL: A Journey to Self-Healing, Bali August 10-20th.

And then there is Bali.

Lush jungle mornings. Temple ceremonies. Chakra-aligned healing work. The kind of retreat that shifts something permanent inside you.

Bali is for the individual who is ready to go deep in ways you can't define.  Intergenerational trauma you can't name, something feeling "off" spiritually, emotionally, energetically.  This is a journey into the self using the land - spiriutal offerings, water purification, and fire Pujas.  There is no doubt - you will return home changed.

If you're interested in a Yinsa retreat, respond to this email and let us know!  Daniele will set up a call to see what trip will work best for you!


LiveYinsa Collective: New Book Club

We’re starting our next book club inside the LiveYinsa Collective.

As always, this is a space for women who want meaningful conversations around our focus for the year - discipline.  This month, we are starting the 12-Week Year so we can learn to work smarter, not harder.  The first meeting is this Thursday in the Collective at 7 pm est.  


Ever attended a Yinsa retreat?  Let's reconnect!

March 30th, 7 pm EST

If you’ve ever attended a Yinsa retreat, this meetup is for you.

We have been reviewing all the feedback from retreats for the last year, and found that every single guest wanted more integration following the retreat.  We listened!

We’re hosting a virtual gathering for past retreat guests to talk about what happens after the retreat glow fades. 

How do you integrate what you learned?
How do you bring this new version of yourself into daily life?
How do you stay connected to the people you met on retreat?

This will be a great way to reconnect with old friends, and maybe make some new ones!

Can wait to connect with you online or in real life...

With love and gratitude,

Daniele & the Yinsa Team

Hellooooooo Collective, As I sit here prepping for our next retreat that begins this Friday, I am feeling so grateful.  I am back in Dominican Republic, where this work really began, and I am in such a different place than I was in 2021. This is now my fourth retreat in DR, and I have learned so many lessons.  The main one is patience. It is not easy to take people from all over the country, an...
Writing as a tool for healing.
Happy Tuesday, Collective! I know I am not the only one having this experience. My inbox is full of newsletters from coaches and teachers and brands, and almost all of them look the same. I'm having the same experience with content creators - even my favorite ones.  Caption after caption is full of words that I know they didn't write.  I know they didn't write them because I have been following...
