What is Emerald Goddess Sanctuary?
Emerald Goddess is a creative reclamation retreat for women — a space where story, art, and honesty are the medicine.
It’s not a typical “wellness retreat.”
No forced positivity, no tequila-in-the-salsa, no spiritual bypassing.
Just real women, creative exploration, and a grounded, nurturing environment along the Mayan Riviera.
Who is this retreat for?
Women, seekers, artists, writers, survivors, and anyone who feels the pull to:
· reclaim their creative voice
· reconnect with themselves
· create, rest, and be witnessed
· step out of systems that have silenced them
You do not need to consider yourself an “artist.” Just come as you are.
Is this a wellness retreat?
No.
It’s a creative and reflective retreat rooted in authenticity, care, and grounded practices (journaling, storytelling, art, gentle embodied work).
There is no yoga, no sound baths, no appropriation, no gimmicks. Just authentic Divine Feminine Creative Flow.
Location, Travel, & Safety?
The retreat is hosted at a beautiful villa in the Mayan Riviera (20 minutes from the Caribbean coast), close enough for beach access but intentionally away from loud tourist zones.
Is the area safe?
Yes — we prioritize safety.
The villa is in a quiet, residential area with private security, safe transport options, and clear guidelines for all participants.

What airport do I fly into?
Fly into Cancún International Airport (CUN).
From there, we will arrange for your transportation to the villa.
Is transportation included?

Any additional travel or excursions are optional and separate.
