The Invitation
for the woman who gives everything…
YOUR BODY IS A PORTAL—
to your intuition, your inner guidance, and the divine.
But when you pour out more than you replenish, that portal clouds over. You lose access to your power and the quiet voice within. You stop trusting your knowing and start searching for answers outside yourself.
The thing is… that voice never left. It’s waiting beneath the noise, in your body, for you to come back and listen.
Falling on the final day of Scorpio season, The Body Is the Portal is your invitation to descend into the body, dive into the depths, and release everything that isn’t yours to carry.
You’ll spend the day held by a community of like-minded women, nourished by a private chef, bathed in sound, and receiving gold Reiki, all to bring your body, soul, and spirit back into harmony.
This is your day to come home.
why this day exists
You can get so used to being depleted that you forget there’s another way to feel.
Tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix. Still functioning, still showing up, still holding it all together, until running on empty starts to feel normal.
This day was created so you can finally exhale.
And for once, to be the one who is cared for.
Through movement. Through real connection with other women. Through being fed, held, and having nowhere else you need to be.
You don't have to be the one holding everything together here. For one day, you get to simply be.

embodied movement
to unwind what your body has been holding
grounding breathwork and gold reiki
channeled by a reiki master
somatic healing, ceremony and sacred circle
to come home to your body
sound bath
with crystal bowls, ocean drum and chimes to wash your nervous system
a nourishing organic meal
lovingly prepared on site by a private chef
How The Day Unfolds
One continuous arc, each part landing deeper because of what came before it.
Arrivals & Tour of the Land
Full Moon Ranch sits among old-growth oaks in Descanso, with farm animals and open land to settle into. We’ll begin with a gentle tour of the land.
COME INTO THE BODY
Somatic practice and gentle movement to shift you out of constant processing and back into your body. Then we open the circle with guided conversation, journaling, and a visualization to set your intention and reconnect with your inner voice. No experience needed.
NOURISH + CONNECT
A shared organic meal prepared by our private chef, with time to eat, laugh, and simply be with other women. No networking. No performing. Just connection.
GO DEEPER
Gentle breathwork guides you into a sound bath as you receive gold Reiki energy healing, making space for whatever has been asking for your attention. Nothing is forced. You’re always in choice.
INTEGRATE + RETURN
We close the circle by slowing everything down. Reflective journaling grounds what moved, and a final guided visualization helps you embody the version of you who came through, so you return home with more capacity to meet your life.
Every part of the day leads you back to you.
What you leave with
In your body
More space. Less bracing. A body that has been cared for instead of asked for more.
In your life
More capacity for what you’re returning to. Clearer access to your own needs, and more room to respond instead of running on automatic.
In your spirit
A custom anointing oil, a simple practice to take home, and an integration transmission three days later to carry it forward.
Who We Made This For
This day is for the woman who…
You don't need to arrive here clear, confident, healed, or at your best.
You just need to arrive.
Meet Your Facilitators
Three women. Three distinct bodies of work. One shared intention: to create a space where you can soften, reconnect, and be fully supported in coming back to yourself.
Alli Burnett
Identity + Embodiment Coach, Reiki Master, and intuitive guide. For six years, Alli has held spaces where women don’t have to perform, fix, or become anything. Her work weaves somatic practice, nervous system regulation, and energy work to help women hear themselves beneath the noise and build real self-trust.
adelaide marcus
Movement artist, performer, and teacher with more than two decades of embodied practice. With a background in psychology, Middle Eastern and therapeutic belly dance, fire arts, and circus, Adelaide brings women out of their heads and into their bodies through movement, play, and self-expression.
Steph taylor
Sound healer, breathwork and Kundalini activation facilitator with a deep appreciation for the subtle energetics of the body. Through sound, breath, and energy work, Steph creates experiences that invite nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and deeper connection to self. After four years of co-facilitating women's circles in San Diego, she returns from Costa Rica to once again hold space for women to reconnect with themselves through presence, sensation, and sound.
LET YOURSELF BE FED.
The meal is not an interruption in the retreat. It’s part of it.
chef
Ashley Mazanec
Farmecopia
Ashley is a private chef who has managed a regenerative farm, and she brings that same care to every meal: thoughtful sourcing, nutrient-dense ingredients, nothing wasted.
Expect food that is organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, cane sugar-free, and high in protein, with heirloom and regenerative ingredients whenever available.
Because being nourished is part of coming back to yourself.
kind words from clients
“As a licensed counselor and coach, I’ll be honest: I’m a tough audience. I’ve seen a lot of people in the wellness space overpromise and underdeliver. When I attended one of Alli’s retreats, I was in the process of recovering from burnout... It became one of a handful of true catalysts in my recovery journey. She creates a container where you can actually put down what you’ve been carrying.”
—I.K., Retreat Participant
“She creates such a beautiful space for women to come together... to feel seen, to feel heard and to share in the power of community with other women... each time I leave feeling uplifted and grounded, and connected with the other women.”
—Erika L., Longtime Community Member
“It was a beautiful transformative weekend, full of love, laughter, nourishing food, and lots of beautiful details... It was tough, I laughed, I cried, and I wouldn’t change a thing... I no longer abandon myself and I’m able to love myself so much more fiercely than I ever thought imaginable.”
—Amber D., four-time retreat participant
This isn’t a day off. It’s a day back.

FAQ
I’VE NEVER DONE SOMATIC WORK BEFORE. IS THAT OKAY?
Absolutely. No experience needed. Everything is guided, and you participate at whatever level feels right.
WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW ANYONE?
Come anyway. Many women come alone, and connection builds naturally throughout the day. You can arrive knowing absolutely no one.
WHAT IF I GET EMOTIONAL?
Then you get emotional. Tears, laughter, anger, quiet, relief, or nothing dramatic at all. There’s no right way to have this day.
DO I HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN EVERYTHING?
No. You’ll be invited into each experience, never pushed. Listening when your body says yes, and when it says no, is part of the work.
WHERE IS THE RETREAT?
Full Moon Ranch, a private ranch in Descanso, about an hour east of San Diego. Exact address is sent after you register.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Something comfortable you can move, sit, lie down, and eat in. This is not the day for hard pants. ❤️
WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION POLICY?
Because food, materials, and space are prepared for each woman, registrations are non-refundable. If you can’t make it, your payment can be applied as credit toward a future offering when requested before the event. If we cancel, you’ll receive a full refund.
Your seat at the ranch is waiting.
