2019 Lemonade Power Retreat in Cambria, California
The Lemonade Power Retreat is my favorite weekend of the year.
When I began hosting retreats in 2015, I expected that others would come and benefit from the experience, but I didn’t realize how much these weekend retreats would enrich my life. My retreats have connected me with a group of phenomenal women – some of these women are my very best friends today. They are the kind of friends that you can call in the middle of a panic attack regardless of the time of day or night, and they are the kind of friends who cherish your children as much as you do. These are my people. The reality is, they are also your people.
I am a bit of an optimist. I search for the positives in all situations. I have come to discover that the narcissist targets the most amazing people you’ll ever meet. They target people who are the exact opposite of themselves. The narcissist targets people who are kind, loving, caring, selfless, empathetic and trustworthy. You were not targeted by chance or by accident. The narcissist did a full scan of your mind, heart and soul and clung to you because they believe your traits and qualities make them appear better to the outside world.
The people that I am blessed to work with everyday are some of the best people I’ve ever known because they were essentially “prescreened,” and they exude all of the positive qualities known to (wo)man kind. This is the thing that makes the Lemonade Power Retreat so wonderful. We are all like-minded people who have been in the most terrifying battle of (and for) our lives. We come together to share, to listen, to heal and to laugh. We stare at each other with our mouths wide open thinking, “Wait, he/she did that to YOU also!?” What once felt like an isolating journey doesn’t feel so lonely anymore. Our stories are all the same yet, they are all so different.
My next Lemonade Power Retreat will be held in beautiful, Cambria, California and I hope to meet you there! This retreat will be smaller and more intimate than most of my retreats as it will be limited to nine people (plus me!). There is an application/screening process and different pricing options available depending on your selected room accommodations. Each room is private (with the exception of one shared room that has two double beds). Each room has its own bathroom and fireplace, perfect for this cozy, healing, autumn weekend.

Notes: I do not recommend arriving to the retreat late or leaving early. There is so much that we pack into the weekend, you will risk missing out on important pieces. Cambria is one of the most gorgeous, healing areas so if you are able to arrive a day early or stay a day later, please do!
