ELEVATE
Women's Yoga, Empowerment & Medicine Retreat
Thursday, December 4th – Sunday, December 7th, 2025
Topanga Canyon, CA with Ashley Turner, LMFT
An exclusive retreat to profoundly deepen your personal growth and healing in a rare, immersive ritual space.
RISE,
REFRAME &
RECLAIM YOUR POWER
We heal in community.
This retreat is dedicated to helping all female-identifying and non-binary people reclaim their birthright of freedom, joy and power.
Learn how to release and heal past traumas through an innovative framework of yoga, depth psychology, priestess-inspired tools, ritual, group work and plant medicine. When we come together to feel and express our full-spectrum of emotions, be seen, heard and witnessed... we heal.
This curriculum is designed to help you integrate, make meaning of and resolve common challenges we face on the wild path of womanhood, such as:
...body image/aging, fertility struggles, child/pregnancy loss, sexual trauma, "Mother" or "Father Wound", cancer battle/medical diagnosis, divorce/heartbreak, infidelity, financial loss, loss of a loved one, abortion, relationship/sexual challenges, attachment wounds, peri/menopause and so much more...
Our weekend culminates in a rare opportunity to partake in a plant medicine journey with Ashley's esteemed teacher.
RISE into your full power.
REFRAME your grief and pain.
RECLAIM your joy.
"The world will be saved by the western woman." ~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama
WHAT YOU GET
Prioritize yourself and attune to your Soul with 4 days and 3 nights of deep rest, reflection and inner work in an elegant, eco-chic retreat center. At the end of a road, nestled in a remote valley of the Santa Monica mountains — rests a laboratory for living and learning on 10 acres of meandering paths, oak trees, and organic gardens (previously, Neil Young's private estate).
Elevate your energy, vision and life.
INCLUDED: All accommodations, classes, teaching, ceremonies, rituals, plant medicine ceremony with Ashley's esteemed teacher, group integration circle and organic, farm-to-table meals lovingly prepared by our private chef are included.
ADDITIONAL AMENITIES: In addition, please enjoy the sauna, hot tub, cold plunge therapy, salt water pool, fruit orchards and abundant hiking trails.
NOT INCLUDED: Bodywork with Ashley's maestro healer (not-to-be-missed) and transportation to/from retreat center.
CURRICULUM
An innovative immersion combining yoga, meditation, shadow work, ritual, rare transmissions, the magic of ceremony, group work and nature.
We venture to say this retreat will be unlike anything you have ever experienced before and will take you on a profound personal journey of healing, awakening to your own wisdom, power and peace.
YOGA & MEDITATION
Yoga As Alchemy
Daily embodiment practices form our foundation to unwind holding patterns, rebalance the nervous system and release somatically.
HEROINE'S JOURNEY
Wound As Initiation
Unlock the power myth and mystery to reframe your core wounds, grievances and traumas as the very gold and empowerment that you seek. Make peace with the past, release and let go.
THE QUEEN ARCHETYPE
Aging As a Spiritual Practice
We believe that aging is a privilege and that peri/menopause is an initiation into our greatest power and an expanded consciousness. Join us in reclaiming your full Shakti Prana – Woman Power.
WOMB WISDOM & HEALING
Blood As Baptism
Our deepest wisdom – and often our deepest wounds – lie in our wombs. Through a potent ritual we will release, heal and integrate some of your most precious pain and alchemize it into our greatest power – Shakti.
PRIESTESS RITUAL
Archetype As Ascension
Using the art of transmission and deification we explore the various stages of womanhood – Maiden, Mother, Crone. Heal your matrilineal line, the "Beauty Myth" and any Mother Wounds to restore the Divine Feminine within.
PLANT MEDICINE CEREMONY
Plants As Portals
Indigenous cultures have recognized the power of plants (entheogens) to awaken consciousness since the beginning of time. Open your 3rd eye, ignite your inner vision and heal your psyche through the magic of plant medicine.
THE FUTURE IS FEMALE.
Now is the time for women to emerge as the wise leaders that we are. Together, we must rise and reclaim our full power, intuition, artistry and voice to offer much needed, embodied wisdom and healing to ourselves, our families, our communities and our planet. There is no more time to play small.
The journey of womanhood is the Greatest Mystery and imbued with infinite beauty and power. But, it can also be a complex, arduous path. To fully access our power we must prioritize our personal work and healing.
We need to dedicate time and attention to properly tend to our unresolved wounds, nurture our "Inner Child", open our bodies and dismantle the internalized patriarchal conditioning keeping us bound and at war with ourselves and each other.
We invite you to join this sacred circle of healing, awakening and empowerment.
Learn to:
- Reclaim your full feminine power and unwavering confidence
- Heal core wounds and inherited traumas
- Fully process and purge pent up emotions
- Stalk your shadow to walk in your full, unabashed beauty
- Build the skills necessary to initiate lasting transformation and change
- Celebrate your beauty and reclaim your joy
