DISCOVER YOUR LIGHT
RETREATS
Ever since I can remember, I have been captivated by the power of travel. The allure of stepping into unfamiliar territories, experiencing diverse cultures, and immersing myself in the beauty of the world has always filled my heart with excitement and curiosity. As a little girl, I use to pour through my parents National Geographic magazines and dream of visiting far away places.
I wholeheartedly believe that travel has the potential to teach us invaluable life lessons and shape our character in profound ways. It teaches us empathy, resilience, adaptability, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of our world. These travel retreats are curated to inspire, connect and get you out into the world in brave and beautiful ways.
It's time to Discover your Light!

THE DREAM
I am passionate about travel and creating an environment where like-minded women can come together to celebrate the art of photography, while simultaneously embracing the transformative power of travel. That's why I have curated a series of photography travel adventures, designed to be both educational and soul-nourishing. These retreats offer a unique blend of photography education, guided excursions to breathtaking locations, and ample opportunities for
personal reflection and growth.
As a woman, I understand the importance of creating safe and empowering spaces for fellow female travelers and artists. Travel, in itself, can be an act of liberation. It is a way to reclaim our autonomy, challenge ourselves, and embrace the world around us with confidence. By embarking on these travel adventures together, we can make new lifelong friendships, while inspiring and uplifting each other, as we explore our passions! I want every woman to return home with new photography skills, lifelong friendships, a deeper understanding of her worth and a heart full of inspiration!
CONNECT
Each retreat creates an ideal setting for forming deep and lasting friendships, community and sisterhood! When women embark on a journey together, they share common experiences, challenges, and moments of joy and self-discovery. The bonds formed during these retreats often transcend superficial connections, as they are built on shared adventures and personal growth. Whether it's exploring new destinations, engaging in transformative activities, or simply spending time together in a beautiful environment, travel retreats provide the opportunity for women to connect on a profound level.
LEARN
Discover your Light Retreats revolves around the theme "To find your creativity, follow your curiosity," as beautifully stated by my favorite author Elizabeth Gilbert. This guiding principle shapes each day, encouraging attendees to explore and photograph subjects that pique their curiosity as they journey.
As we travel and explore, we will remain open to the world around us, capturing the beauty and intricacies of our surroundings. Whether it's the vibrant colors of a bustling street market, the serene landscapes of untouched nature, or the intimate moments shared between individuals, each day presents endless opportunities for curiosity-driven photography.
Through morning lessons, hands-on experiences, and mentorship throughout each day, you will gain technical know-how and creative inspiration. By embracing our curiosity and following it through the lens, we will not only capture stunning photographs but also embark on a journey of self-discovery and artistic growth.
EXPLORE
Adventure and exploration take center stage. You will be encouraged to step out of your comfort zones and embrace the thrill of discovering new horizons. Whether it's embarking on a hiking expedition to capture breathtaking landscapes or diving into the vibrant local culture, each day offers opportunities for exciting adventures. With each adventure, you will not only expand your artistic skills but also gain a deeper connection to the world around you!
