When the ache for truth becomes louder than the fear of change...
It is time to say yes to yourself. It is time for a soul return.
Awaken to the Toltec Mysteries
in the Heart of Teotihuacan
Don Miguel Ruiz brought the ancient Toltec teachings into the modern world. His families books have sold over 15 million copies in the United States and has been translated into 52 languages, touching the hearts of people across the globe.
The Toltec path originates from ancient Mexico, where wisdom keepers studied consciousness, perception, and the art of living in harmony with life. Rather than a religion, it is a spiritual philosophy, a way of seeing through illusion, fear, and returning to unconditional love. The Toltec tradition teaches that we are all artists of perception, continually creating our reality through the stories we tell and the agreements we make with ourselves and one another.
Don Jose Ruiz says, “There is nothing to learn, only to unlearn.” Through my own journey, I discovered that the Toltec path is not something to follow, but an invitation to live with awareness, to awaken the divinity within and to remember that unconditional love is our greatest power.
This retreat is inspired by the Toltec teachings that guided my own spiritual awakening. For many years, I have been dedicated to this path of awareness. Unlearning, releasing self-judgment, and finding freedom in unconditional acceptance and love. What I share on this retreat comes from that lived experience. The strength, hope, and wisdom I offer is born from walking through my own addictions, trauma and suffering and the life-changing transformation that has come from walking the land of Teotihuacan alongside Master Toltec teachers.
I offer this retreat in deep respect and gratitude to the land of Teotihuacan, to the original teachers, and to the lineage that continues to guide so many of us home. Bringing women to Teo is my way of honoring what has been given to me, passing on the wisdom, love, and transformation that this sacred path awakened within me.
I believe the Toltec Path invites us all to come to ourselves. It is a quest of self-discovery, renewal, and remembrance. As you walk inside of this ancient city, you are walking yourself home, back to the heart of who you truly are.

The Call of the Divine Feminine ⏾
The Call of the Divine Feminine ⏾
This retreat is a sacred union of Toltec teachings and the wisdom of the Divine Feminine.
She is the pulse of creation that lives within you.
She is sensual, wise, wild, and whole.
She is the North Star that will guide you inside of every ritual, ceremony, and Feminine Embodiment practice that awaits you.
This is more than a retreat.
It is an initiation.
An invitation to do deep work.
An opportunity to feel safe into your body, to awaken your breath, and honor the wisdom that lives in your curves, your voice, and your emotions.
In this safe, sacred, and intentional container, you will remember who you are.
You will feel what it is like when your body becomes your altar,
when the breath becomes a prayer,
and every cell becomes an invitation to wholeness.
In death, rebirth, shadow, and light, the Divine Feminine knows she is right where she is supposed to be.
The light, the dark — no difference.
This experience will be a journey from head to heart to body.
The teachings will inspire you, the land will change you, and you will leave a woman who understands what it means to truly live in deep love and reverence for herself.
Over the course of this sacred journey, you’ll be held in a heart-centered container where the ancient teachings of Teotihuacan become a mirror, the land becomes your teacher and every part of you, especially the ones you’ve hidden, silenced or judged, is invited to return home.
In this ancient city, amongst some of the largest and oldest pyramids in the world, you will learn how to heal from beliefs and agreements that limit you. The ones shaped by domestication, trauma, codependency, perfectionism, and self-abandonment — that cause you pain.
You will meet the stories you’ve carried, the parts of you that are hurting, and find the courage to change what you can. You will be invited to reclaim your power, to create a new relationship with fear, and to become the conscious creator of your own life.
Beneath your stories lives a deeper wisdom, a remembering of who you truly are and ache to be.
At Teotihuacan, this invitation becomes embodied.
Walking the Avenue of the Dead is more than a physical journey — it is a symbolic passage of transformation and rebirth. Each step along this ancient ceremonial causeway mirrors the soul’s own awakening.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE
The first thing you need to know to fully understand the history of Teotihuacan, is that you will never fully know it. It is a city shrouded in mystery. Even the name, "Teotihuacan," has many different meanings to different cultures. It's been referred to as, The City of the Gods, The Place Where Men Become Gods, The Place Gods Call Home, The Place Where Gods Were Born, The Place of Those Who Have The Road to the Gods, The Place of the Gods and The Place Where Time Began.
However, there are some undisputed historical facts. And many fascinating myths, that may or may not be true. It is for you to decide what you believe! Teotihuacan (Teo) combines unique geographic features, sources of spiritual energy, and a tradition of esoteric work by thousands of people over thousands of years. Visitors from all spiritual traditions gain inspiration and feel powerful energy from the pyramids and centers of spiritual study located throughout the huge site. Some use the symbolism of specific locations around the site to facilitate their process of transformation.

Teotihuacán ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE
The Pre-Hispanic City of Teotihuacan fully preserves its monumentality, urban design and artistic wealth, as well as the relationship of the architectural structures with the natural environment, including its setting in the landscape. This is due to the maintenance, conservation and permanent protection the site has received.
