Lit Within Retreat
The Intuition Activation Retreat
October 22–25, 2026 | 4 Days, 3 Nights at Blisstopia Retreats
Awaken the radiant light that’s always lived within you. The Lit Within Retreat is a sacred 4‑day immersion for women ready to reconnect with their intuition, ignite their inner knowing, and embody their most luminous self.
Nestled in the serene energy of Blisstopia Retreats, this experience is your invitation to slow down, soften, and tune inward. Surrounded by supportive sisterhood and guided by loving facilitators, you’ll rediscover the part of you that already knows—your divine inner guidance waiting to rise and shine.
This retreat is for the woman who feels ready to expand beyond doubt and into deep trust. For the one craving clarity, inner peace, and a soul-to-soul connection with herself and others. For the heart that longs to feel spacious, free, and fully alive again.
What You’ll Experience:
- Thursday – Arrival + Activation: Step into sacred space and set your intentions for the days ahead. Through our Opening Circle and powerful Soul Star Activation with Reiki and sound healing, you’ll begin reawakening your intuitive channels and aligning with your divine support team.
- Friday – Release + Awaken: Greet the morning with Coffee Breathwork and gentle mindful movement. Experience deep cleansing breathwork to release what no longer serves you, then enter the Intuition Classroom to discover your natural intuitive gifts—the “Clairs” that speak your soul’s language. The day culminates in a transformative Fire Ceremony, where what’s ready to fall away makes space for your inner light to expand.
- Saturday – Earth Connection + Exploration: Journey into nature and the mystical town of Jerome for intuitive practices among the red rocks and winding streets. Let the elements and the energy of the earth mirror your inner wisdom before returning to Blisstopia for a heartfelt Closing Circle of Gratitude and Integration.
- Sunday – Integration + Renewal:
Move through gentle grounding practices, reflecting on all that’s awakened and all that’s now alive within you. You’ll leave illuminated—your energy clear, your intuition vibrant, your heart lit from within.
Every breath, every circle, every quiet moment beneath the desert sky is an opportunity to remember your light—steady, radiant, and divinely guided.
EXPERT-LED HEALING AND GUIDANCE
Your in-depth healing sessions are personally facilitated by our Expert, Experienced and Professional Facilitators:

What should I bring with me?
1 | Comfortable Clothes
Comfy clothes are an absolute must-have during retreats. This is not a time for fancy outfits, it’s a time for feeling comfortable on the outside so you can focus on growing on the inside. With that, think of yoga pants, loungewear, flip flops, t-shirts, a sweatshirt or two, and, depending on the season, a cozy cardi or light jacket to keep you warm on cool mornings or star gazing evenings.
2 | Comfortable Walking/Hiking Shoes
Similar to your clothing planning, comfort is key in footwear. Leave those high heels at home and instead bring your favorite walking shoes.
3 | Water Bottle
You always want to stay hydrated. Staying hydrated can up your energy and keep your head clear.
4 | Book
Time to turn off the phone and other digital devices and dig into a good book during free time. At the moment I am reading the Yamas & Niyamas, perfect for setting the right mindset for the retreat.
5 | Journal and Pens
Retreats & YTT trainings are the perfect opportunity for reflection, and having a guided journal is a great way to go. Colorful pens just make me happy. When I sit down to journal or write a list in my planner, somehow my day is a little brighter if I am using a colorful pen. I always have 3 or 4 colored pens in my purse plus a highlighter. Why not brighten up the world a little?
6 | Swimsuit
Enjoy the swimming pool & hot tub, and our infrared sauna for detoxing
7 | Weather appropriate outerwear
Just make sure to pack plenty of comfortable light clothes, a light jacket, and a sweater or sweatshirt or 2
8 | Open Mind & Open Heart
Our retreat center is all about connections…. Connecting with mind, body, and spirit. You can expect personal growth and reflection. Sometimes you are asked to stretch your mind, (or even decide to stretch on your own) in a direction that feels uncomfortable, like an edge. Just remember that knowing our edges and understanding where they are is important for growth. Just bring an open mind & open heart, and you may surprise yourself!
