Sonoran Soulfire Retreat 2027
With Amanda Ma, Vanessa Wingerath, Venus DelMar and Casey Shaw
February 3 - 7, 2027
The Sonoran Soulfire Retreat is designed to kindle the inner flame—awakening vitality and nourishing the deep feminine spirit. This five-day desert winter retreat, held among the red canyon walls and wild waters of the Aravaipa Wilderness, is a soulful immersion in ritual, remembrance, and creative embodiment.
Throughout our days together, you’ll be guided through sacred offerings including ritual crafting, voice activation and song, dream bundles, oil anointing, a fire ceremony, earthen clay vessels, womb massage, embodied movement practices and a wild woman photoshoot. Every session is an invitation, never an obligation—leaving space for rest, integration, and connection with the land.
Our time is held in the embrace of shared meals and accommodations. You’ll enjoy warming, Ayurvedic-inspired vegetarian cuisine prepared with care, served family-style to nourish body and spirit. Sleeping arrangements include cozy communal rooms (4–7 beds each), as well as tent and vehicle camping options for those who prefer more solitude.
The retreat is rooted in values of inclusivity, reciprocity, and belonging. We welcome women of all ages 18+ into a circle of sisterhood where each voice matters, and each presence strengthens the whole. Accessibility considerations, dietary needs, and personal intentions are gathered before the retreat so that care and reverence guide our preparations.
We believe this work is essential and should be accessible. Our tiered pricing and payment plans reflect a commitment to affordability, ensuring women and femme-identifying beings can join this circle regardless of financial circumstance.
Sonoran Soulfire is more than a retreat—it is a living ceremony, a place to remember your innate creativity, to stand by the sacred fire with sisters, and to carry beauty and renewal back into your daily life.
