✨ COLOMBIA • AVANZA RETREAT ✨
November 12–15, 2026
Santa Marta, Colombia

Optional Integration Experience: Nov 15–18

Some journeys change your scenery.
Others change your life.

AVANZA is far more than a retreat. It is an invitation into the heart of Colombia—its land, its people, its traditions, and its ancestral wisdom.

Set between the Caribbean Sea and the sacred Sierra Nevada mountains, this experience offers something increasingly rare in today’s world: authentic connection.

Connection to nature.
Connection to community.
Connection to ancient traditions.
Connection to yourself.

This is not a tourist experience. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the rhythms, rituals, and beauty of a culture deeply rooted in respect for the earth, spirit, and collective healing.

Guided by experienced facilitators and local wisdom keepers, you will participate in sacred plant medicine ceremonies, fire rituals, live music, somatic movement, sound healing, workshops, and practices designed to support deep transformation and awakening.

Our home for this journey is Gitana del Mar, a breathtaking beachfront sanctuary where jungle, mountains, and ocean meet.

✨ Optional Integration Journey (Nov 15–18 +$)

Deepen your experience with a visit to a cacao plantation, connection to the local land and traditions, and time exploring Santa Marta.
This additional journey is designed to support integration—allowing the insights, healing, and transformation of the retreat to fully settle into your body, mind, and soul.

Stay a little longer. Slow down. Trust the unfolding. Let the magic of Colombia continue to guide you before returning home. ✨

This experience is for those who feel called to:
✨ Experience Colombia beyond tourism
✨ Connect with authentic local traditions and ceremonies
✨ Release old patterns and limiting beliefs
✨ Reconnect with nature and yourself
✨ Step into a new chapter with greater clarity and purpose

Some opportunities arrive once and leave a lasting imprint on your heart.

Spaces are limited. Room selection is first reserved, first served.

The Moon moves through Capricorn today, illuminating themes of responsibility, achievement & the structures we’ve spent years building.

As a Virgo Sun with a Leo Moon and Capricorn Rising, this energy feels deeply personal.

Virgo asks: How can I help?
Capricorn asks: How can I achieve?
Leo asks: Can I simply shine and be seen?

For much of my life, I have found purpose in serving, creating, building, supporting & showing up for others.

Yet sometimes, when we become focused on being useful, productive or successful, we can lose sight of our own needs and begin measuring our worth through accomplishment rather than alignment.

The message that landed for me today was simple:
✨ Do not seek approval from the outside. Trust your inner values.

We’re also in the waning gibbous phase of the lunar cycle—a time for gratitude, acknowledging how far we’ve come, recognizing what has blossomed & gathering wisdom before moving forward.

What if success wasn’t about proving ourselves?
What if it was about honouring ourselves?

The last few years have taught me that true growth isn’t found in perfection, recognition or applause. It’s found in trusting yourself when the path is uncertain, staying devoted to what matters most & allowing yourself to be seen authentically.

The deepest expression of Capricorn is not endless striving—it is self-respect.
The deepest expression of Virgo is not perfection—it is devotion.
The deepest expression of Leo is not applause—it is authentic self-expression.

✨ What am I doing because it genuinely matters to me?
✨ Where am I still seeking validation from others?
✨ What am I grateful for that I may have overlooked?
✨ What would success feel like if no one else were watching?

Perhaps the work is no longer proving ourselves.
Perhaps the work is trusting ourselves.

✨ BOOKING CLOSES JUNE 1st

I know your inbox is full.
Every day there is another offering.
Another course.
Another retreat.
Another person promising transformation.

And after a while… you stop feeling.
You scroll.
You consume.
You save posts for later.
You keep searching without ever fully connecting to what you truly need.

Because when everything is constantly asking for your attention, it becomes hard to hear yourself.

So I want to pause the scrolling for a moment and speak directly to the woman who is exhausted.
The woman who feels disconnected from herself.
The woman carrying stress in her body every single day.
The woman who knows something needs to shift but does not even know where to begin anymore.

Sacred Silence Retreat was created for you.
Not to add more noise.
Not to overwhelm you with information.
Not to give you another thing to do.

Because the truth is…
lasting transformation is not found in doing more.
It is found in silence.
In slowing down long enough to hear your own thoughts again.
To reconnect to your heart.
To allow your body to finally exhale.

We hold so much inside ourselves.
Stress.
Pressure.
Emotion.
Anxiety.
Expectation.

And eventually the body begins carrying what the mind can no longer process.

This retreat is designed to help you release what has been stored within you.
Through movement.
Through stillness.
Through sacred vocal mantras — ancient frequencies that help awaken, release, and reconnect you to who you truly are.
Through sound healing that allows your nervous system to soften and integrate simply by receiving the medicine of vibration and frequency.

And all of this surrounded by nature…
the Earth’s greatest healer.

The grounding wisdom that reminds you life was never meant to feel this heavy.

Alongside nourishing foods, intentional connection, rest, and space to simply be — this experience becomes a full reset for your mind, body, and soul.

And the most beautiful part?
Only 48 hours can begin to change everything.
From stress to calm.
From anxiety to alignment.
From disconnection to deep remembrance.

This is your invitation to stop searching outside yourself

After months of hosting Sunny Side Up circles virtually with people tuning in from around the world, Jessie May is excited to finally gather in person back in Montreal this Sunday at Welmä Studio.

There is something deeply powerful happening right now around real human connection.
People are craving spaces where they can exhale, reconnect, reflect honestly, and remember themselves again… together.

This month’s gathering is inspired by the podcast episode Relationships as Mirrors — exploring the relationship beneath all relationships: the one we have with ourselves.

Through reflection, heartfelt conversation, and meaningful connection, the circle will explore self-trust, communication, emotional honesty, and what it means to return to ourselves in a world filled with constant noise and distraction.

A reminder that healing doesn’t always happen in isolation. Sometimes it begins by being witnessed, supported, and held in authentic community.

Those wishing to deepen into the theme beforehand are invited to tune into the Sunny Side Up episode Relationships as Mirrors on Spotify before the gathering. Link in comments below.

Heart-led connection, soulful conversation, and community await.
First-timers are always welcome. ✨
