A 7-day women's retreat to reconnect with yourself and to remember balance through daily practices and nourishing ritual.
When was the last time you truly took care of yourself?

Life moves fast, and it’s easy to lose touch with the centered, grounded version of yourself – the one who feels connected, trusting and deeply aligned. Join us in the jungle to give yourself the ultimate gift: a chance to take a step back from the fullness of life, reset your nervous system and reconnect with the true essence of who you are.

TESTIMONIALS
Client
Meaghan
She Became We has become a touchstone for me, not just to a circle of support and love, but to myself. I have to be better to be there. I have to arrive ready to share truthfully, listen heart-fully, and having done my own work. I choose SBW because the women in it are astonishing. I am honoured to share space with them.
Mia
Being in SBW is like having your own library of resources that you can tap into whenever you need support. Every woman comes with so much to offer and so much to share. Every gathering gives you something else to wonder about or something else to apply to your life. Every intention creates a new set of possibilities and a new portal to shift through.
Dawn
Being in SBW is like learning another language; one where you now have the words to more accurately and lovingly express what you need, what you are feeling, and how you are going to care for and create more for yourself. Even better is that everyone in the room also speaks that language, so when you gather, you don’t have to explain anything, you just go straight into the heart of things. It’s magic.
Sisterhood is the invisible thread that weaves hearts together, creating a tapestry of support, strength, and solidarity. In the embrace of sisterhood, we discover the courage to rise, the comfort to heal, and the joy to thrive.
