Retreats
The Ignite the Goddess Within Retreat is a holistic spiritual wellness retreat for women who want to reconnect with their true self and their heart’s desires. Harnessing your goddess energy is being able to let go of scarcity, perfectionism, and not enoughness and being able to believe you are enough to receive all the abundance around you in this life. It’s letting go of limiting beliefs, fears, doubts, insecurities and rewiring your mind, body, and spirit to Ignite the Goddess Within you.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in life, asking yourself ‘what do I really want?’, beginning a new phase in life, or have been feeling so busy and distracted and craving time with yourself, then this retreat is waiting for you.
Manifesting the life you desire starts from the balance and integration of your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. When we’re overworked, stressed out, feeling overwhelmed, it can limit us from dreaming what’s possible for us in life. Our dreams come alive when we slow down and step away from life through a retreat. From this space, we’re able to release the things that hold us back to dive into bliss feeling the fullness of this life.
This retreat is an opportunity to rebalance, reconnect with yourself, be in community with like-minded women, and give yourself the time you have been craving to reflect on what is important in your life and how you live your life from this place of abundance.
It’s time to deepen your trust with the real you, the goddess within, and dive into bliss. Everything you desire begins from inside of you.
Let’s take the leap together in Paros.
I‘m ready to take the leap!
Imagine stepping away from the hustle of life and being able to dream what is possible for you without the noise and distraction of everyday
Imagine greeting each morning with intention and purpose feeling connected to your mind, body, and spirit.
Imagine connecting with other women, newly formed friends, who share similar struggles, dreams, desires.
WHO SEE YOU. WHO SUPPORT YOU. WHO UPLIFT YOU.

How would your life change if you believed you are enough to receive the abundance that is within and all around you?
As women we have been socialized to attend to others’ needs before our own, thinking we need to do more; and along the way you’ve lost connection to your intuition, your own needs, and the profound wisdom that lies within.
You may have lost sight of your own dreams, desires, and goals.
You’re yearning for something more in your life. But you’ve been afraid to take the leap.
This is your opportunity to say YES to yourself!
To let go of the doubts and insecurities about WHO you are and step into your light.
To release comparison and truly live life from your own power.
To get clarity about what your next steps are in life.
To re-prioritize what is important for you from a place of possibility.
To restore yourself surrounded by the healing waters of the Aegean Sea.
To connect with other women who are ready to share their full, vibrant, beautiful selves with the world.
To connect with the wise, loving Goddess within you
The one that knows and always has known
I deserve this!
Dream Location
We’ll be staying in a boutique hotel on the beautiful and magical island of Paros in Greece. Paros is a Greek island in the Cyclades. It is one of the more popular islands, and for good reason. Paros is known for its incredible beaches, traditional villages, and picturesque town of Naoussa.
Our gorgeous boutique hotel will have a pool, meals cooked by a talented local chef, walking distance to local beaches, and many areas to gather and enjoy solitude. The hotel is located in a quiet area while also walking distance to a local taverna and many beaches. It’s the perfect setting for our time together to disconnect from the hustle of everyday life and reconnect to ourselves with a supportive community of women.
Our Time Together
-
You’ve made your trek to arrive to Greece and onto the island of Paros! You’re already starting to feel the excitement and energy of this land. You’re greeted by other Goddesses who welcome you with open arms. You’ll have time to unwind and relax into our beautiful rooms with a personalized welcome gift. That evening, we’ll gather for a sharing circle and hold an opening ceremony to set our intentions for our 7 transformational days together. This day is all about relaxing into the experience and visioning what’s possible for us! Our night will end with a special dinner under the stars.
-
We’ll greet the morning sun and move our bodies with intention followed by a magical sound healing experience with crystal bowls. This day is all about tuning in to the power of our intuition, our inner wisdom. We will nourish our bodies with a delicious spread of local Greek cuisine to nourish ourselves for this day. The beach is calling us—so grab your suit and journal and let’s experience the healing power of the Mediterranean water and warm sun.

You are worthy and deserving! This day is all about you– to release what no longer serves you and open up to what you deserve in this life. You’ll be guided through an experience to let go of doubts, fears, insecurities, to truly embrace what is your birthright, to fully embrace your full Goddess self. You’ll be guided through a powerful water ceremony to wash away the insecurities that hold you back from fully expressing yourself and being seen in this world at a very special beach on the island. We’ll close our day unwinding and exploring the area around our accommodations and island.

After starting our day with mindful movement and a vibrant, fulfilling breakfast, we’ll connect with our creativity exploring and expressing ourselves. We’ll have time to explore the local beach and spend the afternoon with a special Goddess cooking class led by resident chef Stella who will guide us through a culinary experience that will ignite your creativity and awaken your senses. The afternoon will be a time to relax and embrace the Greek style of living with ease in the islands, finishing our day in the enchanting village of Lefkes, a mountain village with traditional Greek tavernas and shops.

This day is all about living in the flow and receiving the abundance in this life! We’ll begin our day tapping into the power of an abundance mindset.

We’ll close our day with a powerful sharing circle to connect to the rituals that support us in receiving love and abundance.
-
Our final full day as a group will be about self-love and celebrating ourselves! You are unstoppable when you show up fully as yourself and connect with the wise, powerful, creative Goddess within you. You’ll experience what it feels like to fall back in love with yourself and be so in love with life surrounded by this beautiful island that we’ve created as our home for the week. This is what it means to reclaim our goddess within. We’ll spend our last night out to the town of Naoussa, a picturesque town with all of the Greek scenery you could dream of. Pull out your phones for some once-in-a lifetime pics to capture this unforgettable experience! We’ll celebrate our last day as a community and experience what it is like to be showered with love and honored as the Goddess that we are.

She has been an educator for 20 years in the non-profit and higher education industry overseeing personal development, transformational leadership, and community engagement programs. This work was the foundation for her passion for women’s empowerment and trauma-informed practices, providing mentorship to other women and community members for collective healing and transformation.

In her work with individuals and communities, she incorporates key yogic principles, mindfulness, transformational mindset practices, energy and sound healing, affirmations, breathwork, and inspired readings for holistic healing and transformation. Her mantra is when we heal ourselves, we can heal the world.
Keegan first visited Greece in 2019 and fell in love with the land, way of life, culture, and people. She is inspired by the history and energy of this land as it’s a place to truly Ignite your Goddess Within, connecting to pleasure, joy and abundance. She dreamed of bringing a group of women to experience the magic of Greece on that trip in 2019 and her manifestation came to life meeting Kat, her co-host for the Ignite the Goddess Within Retreat.

What past retreat participants have to say…
“I found the whole retreat experience meaningful. It is difficult to say which particular experience had the most impact, as they all intertwined. Over the course of the week, the activities brought to light areas that I need to focus on in my life. I am full of gratitude that I had the opportunity to attend the retreat in Páros with wonderful women who are now new friends of mine! I needed the time to focus on myself, which will only strengthen my relationships with my family, friends and others.”
“Keegan is a true gem. I invited her to lead nine of us (sisters, mother/daughters, first cousins) in a beautiful journey to honor and show appreciation for my mother’s 80th birthday. Keegan’s compassion, sensitivity, wisdom, words and energy came together as we were guided. She transcends and touches all ages as well as ranging from those who are deeply spiritually connected to observer/newbie so everyone feels comfortable. We each left with a powerful, individualized experience along with lasting memories of closeness, purpose and love. She met with me prior to the event so I could both share to manage the expectations for the special day. If you are looking for a women’s retreat, private reunion or a coming together of loved ones… look no further and contact Keegan. We thank you!”
“This is the first wellness retreat I ever attended and it blew away my expectations! I’m a yoga and meditation novice so going on a retreat like this was definitely stepping out of my comfort zone. Katrina and Keegan led us through a divine experience of the body, mind and heart. There was so much intentionality about the daily themes and activities that fostered introspection, self-care and growth —- exactly what I needed after enduring stressful times during the pandemic. The villa location expertly matched the ethos of the retreat by providing a sanctuary for our wellness journey. The flora and fauna of Paros, the magical island light and the delicious food providing so much nourishment and healing. I left not only refreshed but with newfound clarity and confidence for my path forward (and a handful of new friends)!
Best thing I’ve ever done for myself.”
