The Wild Spark Women’s Retreat

A Gathering to Reignite Your Inner Light

When: Saturday, January 23 – Sunday, January 24, 2027

(Optional Friday night early arrival available)

Where: Point Montara Lighthouse, Montara, CA

Are you a heart-led woman who naturally holds space for everyone around you? Whether in your home, your workplace, your community, or your client practice, do you find yourself constantly pouring into others?

When you lead with your heart without space to replenish, your inner light dims. The Wild Spark Retreat is a sacred pause—a sanctuary designed for you to step off the wheel of constant output and allow yourself to be deeply held, restored, and reignited.

While individual healing is vital, this retreat takes it a powerful step further: it's crafted to foster a vibrant community where we lift each other up. Here, you'll not only receive the deep rest you crave, but you'll also be inspired by new perspectives, learn practical tools from peers, and experience the profound healing that comes from openly sharing and receiving energy within a truly understanding collective. This isn't just a retreat for you to heal; it's about the total, enriching experience of healing with and through community.

Nestled along the dramatic bluffs, the historic Point Montara Lighthouse in Montara, CA, is where the soothing rhythm of the Pacific Ocean meets the rugged beauty of the California coast. This weekend brings together a collective of women who care deeply. Here, you will find deep rest, somatic healing, and a community of women who truly "get it." Mark your calendars for Saturday, January 23, 2027, to Sunday, January 24, 2027, and prepare to find deep restoration amidst unparalleled natural splendor.

How the Retreat Community Works:

Giving & Receiving

True community healing relies on balance. Every woman present contributes to the container simply by being there, being open, and sharing her presence. To make this retreat deeply nourishing and accessible, we offer two ways to participate:

Full Receiving Pass: For women who want to come purely to rest, reflect, receive care, and partake in all scheduled workshops and chef-prepared meals without leading a session.
Contributor Pass (Discounted Ticket): For practitioners, healers, or anyone else who chooses to offer a short group session, mini-treatment, skill, or structured contribution (1 hour or less over the weekend) in exchange for a reduced ticket price.

Please Note: The Wild Spark Retreat offers practices and insights for holistic well-being and personal growth. While deeply transformative, the sessions and peer contributions are complementary in nature and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or psychological conditions, nor do they replace the care of licensed medical or mental health professionals. We encourage you to consult with your doctor or healthcare provider for any health concerns.

Ways to "Give" (For Contributor Pass)

If you select the Contributor Pass, your gift can take many forms:

Group Experiences: Leading a gentle movement class, sound bath, breathwork session, tea ceremony, skincare ritual, or guided meditation.
Mini-Sessions: Offering brief 1-on-1 treatments such as massage, chiropractic adjustments, energy work, or intuitive readings.
Group Talks: Sharing wisdom on nervous system care, boundary setting, or emotional balance.
Craft & Creation: Leading a creative or art-based workshop or vision boarding.

What You Will Experience

The Point Montara Lighthouse is a stunning oasis, sitting on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the shore in this perfect rustic coastal escape.

Deep Somatic & Energetic Rest: Open time for pure replenishment, ocean views, coastal walks, and restorative practices.
Nourishing Local Cuisine: All meals, drinks, and snacks prepared fresh by our local coastside chef.
Community & Reflection: Circles, movement, and conversations where you can see yourself in others, learn from their wisdom, and celebrate your growth.
Oceanfront Sanctuary: Shared rustic-coastal accommodations at the Point Montara Lighthouse hostel, perched directly over the waves.

Our flexible itinerary is designed for your ultimate enjoyment and replenishment. You can join as much or as little as you want – this time is for you to design as you need it.

The beauty of our agenda is its adaptive nature to be shaped by our registrants' unique contributions. Because of this, the final schedule won't be finalized until registration closes on Monday, December 21, 2026. Until then, here’s a sample of the exciting structure for your weekend:

Accommodation & Meals

This is an overnight retreat (with an additional two-day pass option - see below for details) designed for deep rest and community connection. You'll be staying at the charmingly rustic Point Montara Lighthouse hostel, a stunning location at 8800 Cabrillo Highway, Montara, CA 94037. The retreat includes all meals and accommodations, with nourishing and delicious options provided by a local Coastside chef.

The majority of the sleeping arrangements are hostel-style, meaning you'll enjoy your own comfortable bed in a shared bunk room (all Tempurpedic mattresses), with shared bathrooms conveniently located nearby. This setup is perfect for fostering connection within our community while ensuring everyone has a cozy space to rest and recharge. We will do our best to honor all roommate requests. For those desiring more solitude, a limited number of private bedrooms with a single bed and shared bathroom access are available.
