The journey back to yourself – A sobriety retreat for women
With Veronica Valli
January 23-26th 2025
Palmaia – The House of AiA, Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
When we struggle with an alcohol problem we leave ourselves by degrees. One day, we wake up and we realize we have become someone we don’t recognize. As women, we abandon ourselves. This retreat is about reclaiming who you are.
Getting sober is 10% not drinking alcohol and 90% emotional sobriety.
Emotional Sobriety is when we finally feel comfortable in our own skin and we like ourselves again. It’s when we can balance and manage our emotions without alcohol.
What sets this retreat apart is its focus on emotional sobriety. It’s not just about stopping drinking; it’s about deepening your emotional well-being. Here, you will find the time, space, and support you need to continue your journey to who you are meant to be.
This retreat is for women:
- On a Sober Journey : Whether you are just beginning your sober journey or have been sober for years, this retreat is designed to support women at all stages. We believe that every woman’s path to sobriety is unique, and our retreat offers personalized experiences to meet you where you are.
- Seeking Community : Building connections with other women who understand your journey is invaluable. This retreat provides a safe and nurturing environment where you can form genuine, supportive relationships. You’ll find a community that will uplift and encourage you long after the retreat ends.
- Seeking Healing and Rejuvenation : This retreat focuses on both emotional and physical well-being. Through various workshops, activities, and relaxation techniques, you’ll have the opportunity to heal and rejuvenate. This is your time to focus on yourself, re-energize, and return home feeling refreshed and empowered.
You’ll Leave with…
- An Emotional Sobriety Practice : During the retreat, you’ll learn essential skills and techniques that foster emotional resilience. From mindfulness exercises to journaling practices, these tools will help you stay centered and emotionally balanced without relying on alcohol. You’ll walk away with a personalized emotional sobriety plan designed specifically for your unique journey.
- Tools to Navigate Blocks in Sobriety : We will provide you with practical tools to identify and overcome the emotional and psychological blocks that hinder your sobriety. Through interactive workshops, you’ll learn emotional sobriety practices that will maintain your mental and emotional health for the rest of your life.
- Connections with Authentic Sober Women : One of the most valuable aspects of this retreat is the opportunity to build genuine connections with other women on similar journeys. You’ll find a supportive community where you can share your experiences, learn from others, and build lasting friendships. These connections are crucial for maintaining your sobriety and feeling understood and supported.
