Self-Love Women’s Retreat
Santa Cruz Mountains, CA.

A sacred pause in the mountains.
A space to rest, reconnect, and love yourself more.

Surrounded by trees, open space, and the quiet energy of nature, this retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with the woman beneath the responsibilities, expectations, and constant doing.
This experience is centered around self-love, not as something you need to earn or achieve, but as something you are invited to remember.

Your Hosts
Gaby Milan and Danielle Pitcher
Gaby and Danielle are the co-founders of SOLE Institute and have guided women through transformational retreats, healing experiences, workshops, and sacred spaces for many years.
Their approach is warm, grounded, trauma-informed, and centered around consent, emotional safety, authenticity, and genuine human connection.
They believe healing does not need to be forced. Sometimes the deepest transformation happens when we finally feel safe enough to soften, receive, and be fully ourselves.
