Retreat
/rəˈtrēt/
“The absence of vacation yet the presence of release, in hopes to restore you to your highest self.”
Our WLA retreats emerged in 2018. For the first three years we began burning down our programmed conditioning in the desert of Sedona, AZ; We planted, cultivated and nourished our developing selves for the next three years in the beautiful foliage of Yosemite, Ca, Mount Shasta, Ca and Costa Rica. This year we were called to the healing power of water, in Placencia, Belize.
I am honored to assist these self healing/reflective moments; Spirit led with humans in mind. Every year is thematically curated based on what’s astrologically needed and spiritually enforced. Thank you for trusting US for SEVEN years…changing perspectives and growing communities. THIS, is important work for us all!
Past
Retreats
“PEACE BY SIGHT”
(placencia, belize)
From the kindest people to it’s historical land, Placenia, Belize was the perfect place to expose our fears and reclaim our peace. We began excavating ourselves through dark caves of river tubing to climbing new heights on Mayan Temples such as Xunantunich. Transformative…to say the least! Our workshops were catered to expose our truth and capture “peace by sight” whenever WE decide. What we’ve discovered is Peace, always initiates from inside! WHAT A MAGICAL TIME!!!
“Livin’ the light”
(costa rica, CENTRAL AMERICA)
We reintroduced ourselves to the child within us that dare to play, be free and LIVE THE LIGHT! Our first international retreat nestled in the jungles of Alajuela, Costa Rica. We opened up further to why HAPPINESS is our birthright and abundant living is only a byproduct to share.
“stronger for it”
(mt. shasta, CA)
2022 had us growing stronger amidst the majestic, yet dormant volcano known as Mt. Shasta. There we found ourselves “Stronger for It.”
“Root Yourself to build”
(Yosemite, CA)
The 4th Annual Retreat helped us restore and ground using the forces of Yosemite National Park. The magnificent healing energy presented among rock formations over 100 feet tall, cleansing waterfalls to wash away fears, and towering trees of protection, was Spirit’s blanket of healing.
“burning down what was”
(Sedona, AZ)
The first three years Sonja Marie and The Wordlife Astrology Team introduced Sedona, as a retreat destination aimed to transform the lives of over 80 beautiful souls. Collectively, we burned outdated identities in order to rearrange our inner and outer worlds. We needed to dismantle the old, to create a new one.
what people are saying
“Ohhhh HOW can I translate this heart-open, wiggly, tears streaming down my face GRATITUDE I feel for this powerful woman!?! Sonia Marie is the real deal: a powerhouse channeling Spirit’s wisdom. I first met Sonia while attending the 1st Annual Wordlife Astrology: Sedona Retreat. My intuition told me that this was something I MUST attend, even I only knew one person there. Thank you, self, for trusting that push. Astrology has been something I’d been interested in and confused by for many years. After a few hours with Sonja, it all clicked. She has a gift for sharing this ancient science. Feeling her passion and joy encouraged me to learn from a place of open-hearted excitement instead of analytical brain space. Sonja uses language, stories and metaphors to break down complex concepts in a way that I could instantly connect with. Since the retreat, I listen to her “Weekly Rundown” almost every week. These 15 – 20minute debriefs always bring joy, inspiration and accountability. One day I was listening and cheering and crying in the kitchen. Later when my roommate asked if I was listening to a sermon, I laughed and said YES. I am grateful to know Sonja, grateful to feel seen at the soul-level, grateful to have an example of what a spirit-filled life looks like. This woman is someone I intend to follow and support and learn from for years to come.”
Year after year, Sonja pours her heart into not only curating powerful themes for our learning but also in selecting these exquisite locations for us to immerse In ourselves in. Her team’s exceptional dedication and support only serve to elevate the entire retreat, transforming it into the perfect haven for disconnecting from the demands of everyday life and aligning with the beauty of the soul.
It’s like a family reunion every time I come to a WLA retreat!
This was my first retreat with WLA and I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail, experience, workshops, and the community. I highly recommend anyone looking for expansion and healing to attend. I am so grateful that I trusted my YES to get out of my comfort zone and attend!
Get off the fence and go to this retreat! It will change your life!
All I know is that I didn’t return the same woman I arrived as. My close friends have told me that my vibe is lighter. My reading has helped set me on an exciting path. The astrology workshops helped me see some people differently. The crystal workshop was full of insightful info and I got some healing along the way…. I mean, I’m just so thankful for the experience and honored to have been accepted by that group of phenomenal women 🥰. I’m shining in my rhythm and I thank you.
