Women’s Wellness Retreat
Joshua Tree, California
October 5-9, 2025
Wellness and Wonder is a transformative Women’s Retreat set in the tranquil beauty of Joshua Tree, California. It’s designed to inspire self-discovery, foster meaningful connections, and provide deep relaxation. We invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace the power of nature and community. Let the desert’s sacred stillness awaken the wonder within you.
Embark on a journey of self-care and wellness through guided practices like yoga, meditation, self-discovery workshops, and nature exploration, all aimed at nurturing the body, mind, and spirit. Step into a sanctuary of serenity and soulful connections, and reconnect with yourself, explore your inner creativity, and find awe in both the natural surroundings and your own personal journeys. You will have the space to recharge and realign with your true essence and leave feeling restored, inspired, and deeply connected.
WELLNESS
Wellness is the care and balance of the mind, body, and spirit. It is about nurturing your whole self through intentional practices and experiences that promote physical health, emotional healing, and spiritual growth.
WONDER
Wonder is a sense of awe, curiosity, and open-hearted exploration. It’s about rediscovering the magic in life, seeing beauty in the small details, and feeling inspired by the unknown or unexpected. Whether it’s gazing at the starlit sky, trying a new endeavor, or simply reflecting on life’s possibilities. Wonder represents the joy of being fully present and open to new experiences.
JOIN US
Join us on this 5 day/4 night Women’s Retreat as we experience the mystical beauty of Joshua Tree and welcome in the opportunity to embrace both inner peace and a renewed sense of curiosity. Open your hearts, invite in the stillness of the desert, and connect to a greater sense of purpose and wonder.
"Gaia" is the goddess personified as Mother Earth. She is the life energy that nourishes and integrates all living beings.
Gaia Villa is a sanctuary where the grounding, healing, and loving energy of Mother Earth represents just a few of our core intentions. We have made it our mission that all aspects of the property and surrounding land serve a refuge for anyone visiting the space.
We also believe that at the core of human happiness and wellbeing is an innate desire for more meaningful connections. Gaia Villa was designed to serve as a home for our guests to connect with oneself, each other, and nature's medicinal energy

Janice is the heart and soul behind Feel Free Yoga + Wellness Studio in Athens, Georgia, which she opened in July of 2022. Guided by a deep sense of purpose, Janice knows she is living her dharma through the sacred work she offers. Her studio is a sanctuary for healing, blending pratices such as yoga, reiki, sound healing, somatic movement, yoga nidra, and other healing modalities. With four years experience leading wellness retreats, Janice’s passion lies in creating spaces where women can come together to heal as a collective. Her retreats are always full of adventure, nature, cultural experiences, movement, and deep connection to self and others. “There is a magic that happens on a women’s retreat,” she says. “The shedding of layers reveals authenticity and equanimity in each of us. The power of women supporting one another unlocks the gift of healing and self-acceptance.” Janice finds joy and purpose in teaching yoga, leading women’s circles and offering transformative sound healing ceremonies.

Brenda is a 500 hr. Registered Yoga Alliance instructor with over 10 years of experience. She has an additional certification in Slow Flow and Yoga for Osteoporosis. Brenda currently teaches yoga classes at Feel Free Yoga + Wellness as well as with several private students.
Brenda has been practicing yoga for many years and has discovered not only the physical benefits of toning and strengthening, but also personal growth through self examination and spiritual renewal.
Yoga has given me a deep sense of connection to a Divine Source that opens me to an infinite, unconditional flow of love. This awareness fills me with peace, joy and an assurance that “all is well” even, and especially, in the midst of the uncertainty and challenges of life.
Brenda shines her light wherever she goes. She loves leading retreats and guiding women as we all transform, grow and heal.
