Where self discovery and profound healing meet culture, adventure and play

Let’s be honest, the system is not set up for women and families to thrive. Society has taught us that our self worth equates to how much we accomplish in a day.

Does your to-do list and busy life leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, stressed, disconnected and powerless?

Are you able to take time to reflect, pause or fill your own cup amidst the many roles you play?

As a woman, wife, and mother in the modern world, I can relate. This is why I have been creating sacred transformative retreat spaces for women since 2015.

A retreat is the perfect way to create space to focus on you. It is an opportunity to reclaim your feminine cyclical self, and her need for rest, play and healing together in sisterhood.

This retreat is an invitation to reclaim radiance, an inner state of being that shines from within and reflects out into the world around us. When you are fully connected to the life-giving energy of radiance, you naturally feel more alive, energized, satisfied and joyful. 

A woman in her radiance…

Embodies self love, sensuality, creativity, and sets radical boundaries to support her well-being.

Values her authentic connection to nature and with other women.

Lives a life where she feels supported, nourished and resourced.

Are you ready to prioritize yourself and return to your natural state of radiance, peace and presence?

Join Lacey Budge and an amazing group of women for an unforgettable 8 day journey of renewal and rejuvenation. Together, we will remember how to access a deepened sense of relaxation, a heightened state of aliveness, an awakened awareness of the wisdom we carry and a soul nourishing connection to nature, self and sisterhood.

A Transformative Eco Luxury Retreat for Women

Nestled in the majestic Sierra Madre ‘Mother’ Mountains, 1 hour south of Puerto Vallarta, Equilibrium Healing Resort & Spa is an off the grid jungle sanctuary for peace and healing that harmoniously blends the natural beauty of its surroundings with contemporary elegance.

The atmosphere creates a haven for relaxation and self discovery while fostering a profound connection to nature. Rest in the natural serenity of stunning gardens, hot and cold spring fed mineral pools, and eco luxury casitas!

Your days will be filled with enlivening movement classes and enriching women’s wisdom circles guided by Lacey, delicious and nourishing meals featuring local ingredients, ancient holistic spa therapies, and in alignment with the new moon’s energy, experience traditional rituals including a cleansing temazcal sweat lodge and a heart opening cacao ceremony, both guided by local medicine women. 

Just a short distance away lie idyllic golden sand beaches and turquoise waters, where we will adventure to on a private boat excursion.

You can also look forward to a crystal bowl sound journey, evening starry bonfires, and an unforgettable visit to a world famous botanical garden and traditional market.

Gather in an intimate circle of 13 women for this empowering and transformative journey, where you’ll cultivate deep connections, awaken your inner vitality, and emerge revitalized to re-embrace your life.

If you are…

• Craving time and space to slow down and revitalize your body-mind-heart and to deepen your spiritual journey of self discovery
• Experiencing inner transformation or a major life transition and are looking for practices, inspiration and community to support you
• Welcoming in greater trust, balance, peace and pleasure into your life

…Then let me guide you home to nature, inner radiance, and authentic sisterhood connection.

What to expect during the ReAwakening Radiance Retreat

Botanical Gardens & Pristine Waters

The retreat begins in the spirit of beauty and awe with a visit to world renowned Puerto Vallarta Botanical Garden. For hours, your senses will be awakened as you immerse yourself in the vibrant colors and fragrant aromas of this lush garden paradise. A jungle hike will lead us down to a pristine flowing river and swimming hole where you will be renewed and refreshed, before indulging in a traditional Mexican lunch at the on site Hacienda de Oro restaurant.

Eco Luxury Sanctuary & Digital Detox

When you arrive to our sanctuary you will be amazed by the energy of this healing place. The land here is protected and sits on a reservation; the energy is extremely powerful and beautiful. Each casita is unique temple naturally inspired to promote wellness.

The eco luxury casitas are off grid and free from electrical current. In our modern homes, we are constantly exposed to dangerous EMF’s from wifi, appliances and even lightbulbs! During the retreat, you will sleep so deeply as your nervous system resets to its natural state. Give yourself the gift of a digital detox as you unwind and gaze up at the starry night sky through the skylight.

Invigorating Movement Practices

Begin each morning by awakening your inner radiance with inspiring movement practices, appropriate for all levels, guided by Lacey. Each class is unique, weaving a variety of styles of yoga, dance, qi gong, meditation, embodied feminine arts, and elemental wisdom teachings.

Influenced by Lacey’s 15 years of studies and expertise as a movement instructor, her classes will leave you feeling liberated, relaxed, and more deeply connected to your body, breath, life force energy and luminous feminine self.

Relaxation & Rejuvenation

Let your tension melt away. Nourish yourself with a spa treatment blending ancient healing traditions, indigenous rituals and modern therapies or be restored in the eucalyptus steam room.

Spend the afternoon soaking in the spring fed ozonated mineral rich healing waters. These warm and cold hydrotherapy pools will reduce pain and inflammation, while promoting circulation and deep muscle relaxation.

Connect with a new friend and take a walk through the eco reserve’s jungle forest paths.

Ceremony & Rituals with Lacey

Throughout the retreat, Lacey will lead you through transformative women’s circles, ceremonies and beauty way rituals designed to reignite your inner glow, reconnect you to women’s wisdom, and encourage authentic connection and friendships within our circle of women.

You will leave this retreat full of confidence, inspiration, practices and self care rituals to incorporate into your daily life.

New Moon Sweat Lodge & Cacao Ceremony

The new moon is a potent time for reflection, renewal and rejuvenation. Together, we will journey into the womb of the Mother through the ancient healing ritual of temazcal, a traditional Mexican sweat lodge ceremony. Purify your body, clear your mind, release toxins, and cultivate a deeper connection to yourself and the elements through prayer, song, intention and sisterhood.

Elevate your spirit with a sacred cacao ceremony, the healing and heart opening medicine of the Mayans. Guided by a local mother and daughter, creators of Kuku Cacao, we will connect with the beauty of the heart and share in an authentic and illuminating journey.

Private Boat Adventure & Beach Day

Unwind and soak up the sun, bask in the warmth of the Mexican coast, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and surrender to the soothing sounds of the waves during a relaxing beach day. An optional second beach day can also be booked during the retreat.

Bonfires & Crystal Sound Bath

Evenings will be magical at Equilibrium under the starry dark new moon sky. Gather around the bonfire for song-sharing and ancient wisdom sharing, or relax in the lounge with a herbal tea and your favorite book cozied up by the fireplace. Prepare for a transformative journey with a candlelit crystal bowl sound bath where you will be surrounded by healing vibrations.

Be Nourished All Week Long

The Equilibrium culinary team will delight our senses as we indulge in healthy and delicious plant based ‘gourmet-comfort food’ that highlight local ingredients and embrace the rich flavors of Mexico. These dishes will not only satisfy your hunger but also support your overall well-being. Medicinal teas, elixirs and fresh juices will also be served.

Most importantly, you won’t have to do any cooking or cleaning up. Fully embody your feminine nature of receiving and allow yourself to be cared for!

This place is pure magic. The Casitas are each different and mine was at the edge of the property with the jungle and river behind me that I could hear all night as I slept. The beds and pillows are amazing and while laying down you could look up and see the stars thru multiple skylights, just beautiful. Everything in my room and on the grounds was kept pristinely cared for by the staff. It was the perfect luxury / jungle combo. ~ Renee
