Reclaiming Your Sacred Fire
A 4-Day Women's Retreat in Florida
March 11–14, 2027 | Inverness, Florida
I believe every one of us carries a sacred fire.
A spark of the Divine.
The part of you that knows why you're here.
The part that doesn't need permission.
The part that has never been broken.
And yet...
Life has a way of pulling us away from that knowing.
We become so busy doing what needs to be done, meeting expectations, and caring for everyone around us that we stop listening to the quiet wisdom within.
Not because it disappeared.
Because it became harder to hear.
Sacred Fire is an invitation to return to that inner knowing.
To spend four days surrounded by nature, ceremony, laughter, sisterhood, and stillness...
remembering what has been true all along.
A Women's Retreat in Florida for Reconnection, Personal Growth & Spiritual Renewal
Reclaiming Your Sacred Fire is a four-day women’s retreat in Inverness, Florida, created for women who are ready to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with themselves. Surrounded by nature and a community of women willing to be real, you’ll have time for ceremony, reflection, meaningful conversation, laughter, creativity, rest, and experiences that invite you to listen to what you want now. It’s a chance to slow down long enough to hear yourself again—and return home with greater clarity, self-trust, and excitement about the life you’re creating.
What Happens When We Stop Tending Our Own Fire?
It doesn't happen all at once.
One day you realize you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else, meeting expectations, and doing what needed to be done...that somewhere along the way, you stopped tending to yourself.
You keep telling yourself you'll make time later.
After this project.
After the kids need you less.
After life settles down.
But life rarely settles down.
And while you've been keeping everyone else's fire burning...
your own has been quietly asking for your attention.
You begin to feel it.
The longing for something more.
The quiet voice that keeps whispering, "There's another way to live."
The truth is...
your sacred fire has never gone out.
It has simply been waiting for you to come home and tend to it.
This Isn’t Just Four Days Away
You can go away for a few days, have a wonderful time, come home rested—and slip right back into the same routines.
That’s not what we’re creating here.
Reclaiming Your Sacred Fire gives you enough time and space to step outside your everyday life and really look at it.
Who are you now?
What do you want?
What have you outgrown?
What makes you feel alive?
And where have you been waiting, settling, or putting yourself off until later?
We’ll explore those questions through ceremony, conversation, creativity, nature, reflection, laughter, and experiences that bring you out of your head and back into connection with yourself.
Four days can’t change your life for you.
But what you choose after those four days absolutely can.
✨ Exceeds 5 Star Rating!!✨ Such a life changing event. When I signed up, I had no clue that it would surpass my wildest imagination. This event was very well organized from the start to the finish.

What Will These Four Days Actually Feel Like?
This retreat isn’t four days of sitting in a circle talking about changing your life.
You’ll wake up with nowhere else you need to be. No schedule to manage for anyone else. No meals to prepare. No one waiting for you to take care of something.
There will be mornings to ease into the day, time outside in nature, cacao and sacred fire ceremonies, meditation, journaling, creative experiences, sound, movement, and conversations that may take you somewhere you didn’t expect to go.
You might find yourself sitting quietly under the trees and realizing how long it’s been since you’ve had time to hear your own thoughts. You might be laughing over dinner with women who were strangers two days earlier. You might have a conversation that makes you see something in your life completely differently.
There will be time to explore the questions that brought you here. What do I want now? What have I outgrown? What am I ready to choose differently? What makes me feel alive?
And there will also be time when we aren’t trying to accomplish anything.
Time to rest. Eat really good food. Be pampered. Receive. Laugh. Connect. Wander outside. Take a nap. Sit by the fire. Enjoy yourself.
We’re not packing every minute of your day with activities. The space between the experiences matters too.
By Sunday, our hope is that you don’t simply leave saying, “That was an amazing retreat.”
We want you to leave knowing yourself a little better.
Knowing what you want.
Knowing what you’re ready to stop giving your energy to.
And feeling excited about what you’re going to do with what you discovered when you get home.
This Retreat Is for You If...
You've spent so much of your life taking care of everyone else that you've forgotten what it feels like to truly nurture yourself.
You've built a beautiful life, yet there's a quiet voice within that keeps whispering, "There's more."
You've invested in your healing, your growth, and your spiritual journey...and you know you're ready to move beyond learning into living.
You're longing for genuine connection with women who see you, understand you, and are walking a similar path.
You're ready to stop waiting for the "right time" and choose yourself.
You're ready to ignite your sacred fire.

You may leave knowing what you want more clearly than you have in years.
You may recognize something you’ve outgrown and finally feel ready to make a different choice.
You may remember what makes you feel alive—and realize you want more of it in your everyday life.
You may trust yourself more when what you know is right for you doesn’t match what other people expect from you.
You may see where you’ve been giving away your time, energy, or power and decide you’re ready to choose differently.
And you’ll leave with practices you can continue, women you’ve connected with, memories you’ll carry with you, and a deeper relationship with yourself.
The retreat ends on Sunday. What you do with what you discover here is where the real change begins.
Fire Medicine
Fire transforms.
It illuminates what has been hidden.
It reveals what is ready to change.
At this retreat, we don't work with fire as a symbol of destruction.
We work with fire as a symbol of transformation.
Together we'll identify the beliefs, stories, fears, and patterns that no longer serve us and consciously transform them into fuel for the life we are here to create.
Fire reminds us that transformation is possible.
Not someday.
Now.
FAQ
7. What should I bring?
Before the retreat, you’ll receive a complete packing list and everything you need to know to prepare for our time together. In general, plan for comfortable clothing, layers for changing temperatures, comfortable shoes for spending time outdoors, a journal, personal toiletries, and anything that helps you feel comfortable and at home. Most importantly, bring an open mind and a willingness to give yourself these four days.
1. What can I expect at this women’s retreat?
Expect four days with space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and step outside the routines and responsibilities of everyday life. We’ll weave together cacao and fire ceremonies, meditation, reflection, creativity, time in nature, meaningful conversations, laughter, rest, sound, and experiential practices designed to help you listen more deeply to yourself. There will be structure to our days, but also room to breathe, receive, connect, and simply enjoy being there.
2. Do I need retreat or spiritual experience to attend?
Not at all. You don’t need experience with retreats, meditation, cacao, ceremony, or any particular spiritual practice. Come with curiosity and a willingness to participate in the experiences that feel right for you.
3. Can I attend the retreat alone?
Absolutely. Many women come to retreats without knowing anyone else, and that can actually be a beautiful part of the experience. We intentionally create opportunities for genuine connection throughout the four days, so you won’t have to arrive with a friend to feel part of the group.
4. What is included in the retreat price?
Your retreat investment includes your accommodations for three nights, all meals during the retreat, ceremonies, activities, supplies, facilitated experiences, and the full four-day retreat program. Everything you need for the retreat experience is included. Optional private sessions will also be available during the retreat for an additional cost.
5. Where in Florida is the retreat held?
Reclaiming Your Sacred Fire is held at Full Circle Retreats in Inverness, Florida, surrounded by the natural beauty of Central Florida. The retreat begins at 3:00 PM on Thursday, March 11, 2027, and concludes at 1:00 PM on Sunday, March 14.
6. What are the accommodations like?
Accommodations are part of the retreat experience, with a variety of options including shared rooms, individual she-sheds, and yurts. Accommodations are selected on a first-come, first-served basis. After you register, you’ll receive information about the available options and have the opportunity to choose the space that feels right for you.
8. How many women will attend?
This is intentionally an intimate retreat, with attendance limited so there is space for genuine connection and individual attention. We’re planning for approximately 16 women, with a maximum of 20.
9. Is there a payment plan?
Yes. You can reserve your place with a $500 deposit and pay the remaining balance before the retreat. We also offer several registration options, including an Early Firekeeper Rate and Bring-a-Friend pricing. If you need help determining which option works best for you, reach out and we’ll be happy to talk with you.
10. What airport should I fly into?
If you’re flying to Florida for the retreat, Tampa International Airport (TPA) and Orlando International Airport (MCO) are the two best options. You’ll be responsible for transportation to and from the retreat location in Inverness, but we’ll help retreat attendees connect with one another to coordinate ridesharing to and from the airports whenever possible.
11. What if I’m nervous about coming?
That makes sense. Four days away from your everyday life, surrounded by women you may not know, trying experiences that may be new to you can feel like a big step. You won’t be expected to show up a certain way, share anything you don’t want to share, or have it all figured out. We’ll take the retreat one experience at a time, and you’ll always be encouraged to listen to yourself and choose what feels right for you. You may arrive nervous. You probably won’t be the only one.
12. How do I know if this retreat is right for me?
If you’ve built a good life but keep feeling like something is missing, if you’ve spent years taking care of everyone and everything around you and are wondering what you want now, or if you simply know you’re ready for something to shift, this retreat may be exactly the kind of space you’ve been looking for.
You don’t need to be in crisis or know exactly what you want to change. Sometimes the first thing you need is enough distance from your everyday life to hear yourself clearly again.
