A 7-Day Eco Luxe Retreat For The Woman Who Is Ready to Show Herself What’s Possible, In a World That Told Her Differently.
Led by Shirlee Williams and Laura Foster
Nestled between the lush jungle and emerald ocean is Xinalani, a sanctuary of wellness and serenity just outside of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
This retreat is an incredible 7-day eco-luxe immersion with daily yoga, meditation, breath work, mindfulness and self discovery led by Shirlee and Laura.
With six stunning yoga spaces, a temazal (ancient sweat lodge), beach club, lounge bar, sand terrace, oceanfront spa and onsite restaurant that specializes in organic, delicious food — you’ll leave this retreat feeling grounded, inspired, energized and more connected to the truth of who you are and have always been.
Xinalani is set amidst 10 acres of unspoiled jungle along the shores of Banderas Bay. To say it’s stunning is an understatement.
We couldn’t be more excited to offer this retreat experience at Xinalani — one of our favorite retreat locations. It’s simply magical. The most beautiful blend of eco, luxe, jungle and ocean.
This retreat is a balance between self discovery, yoga, meditation, laughter, mindfulness, adventure, connection and sisterhood. Whether you are choosing to read a book in your hammock while sipping dark roast cinnamon coffee (yes, it’s a thing) or up early to watch the sunrise and walk the beach, this is your time.
We are both personal development coaches who come with different backgrounds (that’s the cool part – read our bios) who unite on so many levels in the way we work, teach, practice and lead. We love to co-facilitate retreats and the feedback from prior experiences has been extraordinary and deeply gratifying.
We are soul-sisters that each shine in our own individual way … kinda like you do.
What’s emerging for both of us is the theme of RECLAIMING. Our knowing is that as women, we each have something to RECLAIM:
And showing yourself what is possible in a world that may have told you otherwise. It’s time to rise, individually and collectively – and to reconnect with the truest parts of who we are.
Throughout the week we will be in Circle and in Sisterhood, to explore the effortless belonging that comes from saying yes to ourselves and to each other.
It is our most sincere knowing and desire that we will each leave this retreat with a deeper sense of personal ownership and inner peace – seeing ourselves as the goddess of our own making.
Along with the extraordinary location and retreat sanctuary, your retreat will be highlighted with:
A group breathwork and cold plunge session led by Dawne Sullivan.
Enjoy the challenge and the expansion that comes from experiencing a cold plunge experience. We are delighted to announce that Dawne Sullivan will be leading us through a group breath work and cold plunge session. If you’ve never done it – you will LOVE what comes through.
Dawne Sullivan is a Holistic Nutritionist and owner of Shine Nutrition & Wellness. She is gifted leader, facilitator and wise sister who can help you discover how truly awesome you can feel.
Indulge your beautiful self and choose whatever room style matches your soul desire.
We encourage you to happily say yes to sharing accommodation with another amazing women that are saying yes right alongside you. We will pair you with your roommate and let your beautiful souls take care of the rest!
If you are used to having your own space please be aware that there are many private, quiet areas on the beautiful expansive property and there will be ample time for you to find solitude if that is what you need and want during this retreat.

Jay Shetty Certified Coach | Registered Yoga Teacher
I have always been a seeker of “WHY”. Curiosity has led me down a spiritual path of yoga, meditation, breathwork and entrepreneurship. I opened and directed a successful yoga and spin studio for 14 years. I have been teaching Yoga Trainings for over a decade and running international retreats through out Mexico and Costa Rica. I am a certified Life Coach and host a podcast called Becoming You.
I call myself a spiritual mindset coach and I am deeply committed to living and helping others live a full authentic life.
Showing up as my true authentic self in the world is my magic. The intentionality I bring to life, is the sweet spot. My open heart and resilience keeps me evolving and growing. This unwavering inability to never quit is how I show up in the world.
I wholeheartedly believe that anything is possible. The more we connect with each other and walk our own authentic path, the brighter we shine. My mission on this planet is to remind you of your own greatness. ❤️
Women’s Coach | Yoga Teacher | Experience Maker
I’m Laura [Dr. Laura Foster if you want to get all formal] – personal leadership coach, retired chiropractor, yoga teacher, podcaster, retreat leader and founder of Soul Inspired Gurl. I’m compassionate, bold and fiery as hell and I see the fire that’s within you – ready to break through the old to create the life, love and legacy of your dreams.
I wholeheartedly believe that we are each meant to walk our own sovereign path, alongside other women and incredible humans who also have the courage to walk their own. As the New Earth and unity consciousness comes forth we each have a roll to play and I deeply honor whatever is coming through you to be seen, witnessed, healed and expanded.
If I had to sum up my purpose right here, right now I would probably say something like this: I’m on a mission to lead women back to themselves and transform the way they show up in the world, one sovereign step at a time.
Shirlee and I love collaborating on retreats that hold space for Sisterhood connection,laughter, adventure, self discovery and remembering who we truly are. If you feel called to say yes to RECLAIM, we welcome you with both arms and our full heart. I can’t wait to meet you.
We welcome all beginner yogis and no experience is necessary. Xinalani has all the necessary yoga mats and props so it is not necessary to bring any special supplies unless you have a special relationship with your yoga mat. On a side note, please ensure you can perform moderate exercise and are aware that Xinalani is located on a hill with many steps to get to and from room/restaurant/yoga classes.
If you are a single registrant – awesome! We have found that over 50% of the individuals who sign up for our retreats are coming alone so do not worry if this is something you’ve never done before. We may arrive solo, but we will move throughout the week as a mini-tribe of beautiful souls. Many of the people you meet during this weekend will likely become life-long friends.
Absolutely, the food at Xinalani is healthy, organic food. They are able to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and most food sensitivities. Please enquire when you are booking with Cathy.
To be completely wowed and leave feeling like you’ve given yourself the biggest gift ever. That’s a bold statement – we know, but after hosting many retreats in various settings we are accustomed to the magic that happens in a retreat.
Retreats are inherently different than vacations. On the surface it may look a lot like an all-inclusive style vacation, but once you arrive you’ll start to settle into the glorious routine of taking space and time to unroll your yoga mat, breathe deep, expand outwards and enjoy the process that unfolds. The workshops and classes are like icing on a soulful adventure.
Bring your open heart and sense of fun and you’ll be sure to have an incredible time (and if you feel inspired to truly unplug – be prepared to set down your technology while you are here).
Please note that Xinalani is only accessible by boat and boat transfer is included in our retreat pricing. You will be greeted at the airport and transferred by taxi to the pier of Marina Vallarta (15 min) and transferred by boat from Marina Vallarta to Xinalani Resort. The resort is 12 miles south of Puerta Vallarta (PVR) airport.
To allow for adequate transportation to and from the resort, ensure that your flight lands in Puerta Vallarta (PVR) no later than 4 pm on April 8,2023 and flight departure no earlier than 12 pm on April 15,2023. If you are wondering about other registrant’s flights please ask us.
If you are flying from Canada, Air Canada, Swoop and West Jet have direct flights from major cities.
If you’re a woman who is ready to show herself what’s possible, in a world that told her differently – this experience won’t be complete without YOU.
