Build a Sustainable Path Forward
Through guided experiences and soulful reflection, you’ll explore tools and practices that support long-term emotional, mental, and energetic sustainability in your work—so you can continue serving with clarity and fuerza.
Community of Like-Hearted Souls
You’ll be surrounded by a powerful group of peers who get it—people walking similar paths of service. This space is one of mutual support, deep listening, and inspiration. You are not alone.
A Transformational Experience in Nature
Held in the breathtaking beauty of Colombia, the land itself becomes a co-facilitator—grounding you, awakening your senses, and reminding you of the medicine of slowing down and living with intention.
WHY WE CREATED THIS IMMERSION RETREAT

Testimonials
Laura Quiros, Ph.D., LMSW
Erica's skill lies in her ability to collaborate and connect, specially around issues of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Erica and I have worked closely in several spaces where the focus of the dialogue, panel or training was on inclusion and belonging. She supports me in my work as a trauma informed DEl consultant and as an educator. It is not very often, especially in older adulthood, that you met someone and the synergy is felt. This is how I felt with Erica and as a Latina woman of color, I am so grateful to be in community with her, as we work to support and uplift each other. Erica listens with her heart and strives to build a community of healers.
Candida Leon, LCSW
Erica’s unwavering positivity and dedication to uplifting others have profoundly impacted my life. Witnessing her growth and passion for people inspired me, and attending her conferences transformed my journey. Through her events, I found empowerment, community, and the courage to pursue my dreams. Every interaction with Erica reignites my purpose, and I am deeply grateful for her guidance and support.
Jessica Ramirez, LMSW
Erica’s support has been a steady force in my journey to own my voice as an author, speaker, and retreat facilitator for women and survivors of trauma. Her belief in my clinical abilities has helped me navigate imposter syndrome and step into this work with greater confidence. I am grateful for her mentorship and encouragement.
