"Awaken was a weekend unlike anything I've ever experienced in my 39 years!"
Before we begin
This isn't a getaway. It's an awakening.
Introducing
A four-day Becoming Her retreat in Sedona for the woman who is ready to move out of survival and into her aliveness.
Love is Alive is about awakening into LOVE and choosing it.
It's about becoming so lit up by your life and the vision you hold for it that you're willing to look honestly at what's not working, and have the courage to change it.
When you awaken into more love, it changes everything. How you experience your marriage, your motherhood, your friendships, your work, and most importantly, yourself.
And something else begins to happen...
You start to feel a greater sense of purpose. You have more love to give, more energy to create, and a genuine desire to be a contribution in this world.
You begin asking yourself bigger questions. What am I here to do? How am I being called to serve? What has been getting in my way?
My intention is that you leave Sedona feeling more alive, more relaxed, deeply connected to your intuition, and with the clarity, courage, and conviction to step into the life you know you're here to live.

How it works
Personal development doesn't have to be heavy. You'll be held, supported, and deeply seen before, during, and after. All you have to do is show up.
We begin · Your private coaching session
A private 30-minute 1:1 coaching call with Ciara
Everyone receives a private 30-minute 1:1 coaching call with me to "set the scene," where we'll dive deep into what's working and what's not. I will hold a vision for you throughout our time together, and I'll design the coaching curriculum around your needs and our group's specific needs.
We prepare
A pre-study to ensure you feel held, supported, and deeply seen before you ever arrive. For those who are interested, we'll study the Gene Keys Venus Sequence as an optional study.
The Venus Sequence is the Gene Keys pathway of love. It gently illuminates the patterns that cause us to guard our hearts... so we can awaken into more love, healing, and deeper intimacy in our primary relationships.
We gather
Four days in Sedona. Ceremony, movement, nourishment, and sisterhood... and the breakthroughs that only come when you slow down enough to hear yourself.
We integrate
A post-study, so you feel held, supported, and deeply seen after your Awaken experience too. The magic doesn't stay in Sedona. It comes home with you.
"The connection and community that is formed even before the actual retreat is priceless."
IN HER OWN WORDS
"I felt fully held."
"A safe container to fully be with myself and my emotions that I have been repressing... I've shifted from feeling like I need to fix myself to feeling like the work I'm doing is just continuing to foster the wholeness that already exists."
The rhythms that make it magic
Every Becoming Her retreat is built on the same foundation.
In Sedona, the land naturally amplifies everything.
Ceremony.
Daily gathering, coaching, and conscious conversations. Sacred space to clear what's heavy and hear your heart again.
Movement.
We move our bodies multiple times a day. Somatic practice, dance, yoga, and time on the trails and in the creek.
Nourishment.
We eat whole, nutritious foods prepared by our amazing in-house chefs. Abundant, and allergy accommodating.
Nervous System Tending.
We slow down our pace so we can tap into the most sacred parts of ourselves... the parts that are so difficult to access in the mundane routine.
Community.
A sisterhood of women who meet you heart to heart. Friendships that last long after the four days end.
There is something extraordinary that happens when women gather with intention, open hearts, and a willingness to grow. Add the energy of Sedona, and the magic is almost impossible to put into words.
It's a little bit of heaven on earth. And if you've been on one of our retreats before, you know exactly what I mean.
"I felt home in my body."
"I really felt my heart open and I felt such a sense of calm and peace... I felt home in my body and definitely got glimpses of my higher self."

The extra love
If you've been at one of our retreats before, you already know how much we love spoiling the women who attend, and AWAKEN will be no exception.
We're keeping a few things a surprise... but leave room in your suitcase.
VIP swag upgrade · The first 15 women
A custom-made AWAKEN denim jacket
The first 15 women to say yes receive a denim jacket custom-made for this Awaken experience on top of the luxury clothing piece already chosen for you.
A peek inside our days together
Wednesday
Doors open at 4:00 PM. Settle into your room, exhale, and meet the women you'll be sharing this experience with. We'll gather for our opening circle and welcome dinner, setting our intentions for the days ahead. By the time the stars come out, you'll know you're exactly where you're meant to be.
Thursday
We begin to move, connect, and open ourselves to what's possible. Through hiking, coaching, meaningful conversations, and ceremony, you'll start to see yourself and your life through a new lens. This is where we begin to soften, open our hearts, and make space for something new.
Friday
This is where we go deeper. Through powerful coaching, movement, somatic experiences, and time on the land (and in Oak Creek), we explore what we're ready to release and what we're ready to welcome into our lives. Expect breakthroughs, beautiful moments of connection, and plenty of space to care for yourself along the way.
Saturday
We gather for our closing ceremony, honoring the woman you've become and the intentions you're taking home. Goodbyes by 11:00 AM, and home in time to celebrate Mother's Day as a soul on fire.
"Raw and yet free."
"The Awaken retreat was unlike the other retreats. Something inside of me cracked open... The retreat left me raw and yet free."

I'm Ready to Remember Who I Am ›Our home in the red rocks
Two private homes hold our whole circle in Sedona, with red rock views all around. Room to spread out. Room to gather. And quiet when you need it.
Picture waking up to the red rocks through floor-to-ceiling windows. Slow mornings on a private patio, warm beverage in hand. Afternoons by the pool. The sauna and cold plunge to reset your body... and the hot tubs as the sun goes down. Evenings around the fire pits under the stars.
There's a chef's kitchen where our meals are made with love, open-air decks for long dinners together, and a movement space with yoga mats and weights, ready whenever your body calls.
Your host
I've been coaching women for more than 17 years, and I've had the privilege of guiding more than a thousand women as they've moved out of survival and into a life that feels more peaceful, purposeful, and ALIVE.
Motherhood was the catalyst for my own transformation. My mess became my message, and here I am today doing the work I wish someone had introduced me to when I was a young mother, overwhelmed, anxious, and wondering how I was going to keep doing it all.
I give all the gratitude and glory to God for the wisdom that came through some of my darkest hours.
I've been hosting retreats since 2020, and I've witnessed women experience what I can only describe as life milestone moments. Defining moments in time when something shifts so profoundly that going back to the old way of living no longer feels like an option.
They leave with clarity, a vision for their lives, and a renewed sense of purpose. Ready to make brave decisions, follow their hearts, and create more love, happiness, connection, and presence in their homes.
There is something so powerful about stepping away from your everyday life, putting your body in the room with women who are committed to growing, and giving yourself the time and space to hear your own heart again.
These retreats are designed to nourish you, absolutely. But more importantly, they're designed to change how you experience your everyday life.
I'd be honored to welcome you into our circle in Sedona.
Meet your guides
At Awaken, you're cared for in body, mind, and soul. Every person on this team was chosen for the gift she brings to our circle.
Somatic Practitioner and Embodied Movement Guide
Danielle is Ciara's right-hand woman inside Becoming Her, a somatic practitioner with a background in psychology and more than 15 years of experience as an educator. She specializes in nervous system care and supporting women through grief, shock, and major life transitions.
Her belief is simple: healing happens through the body.
Danielle is deeply passionate about helping mothers come back into their bodies, the vessel that holds them, so they can return home to their center.
At AWAKEN, she'll guide our somatic experiences and offer personalized one-on-one support. Women from our previous AWAKEN retreat named their sessions with Danielle among the places their biggest releases happened.
Event Coordinator and Space Holder
Lisa is the reason everything feels effortless. She beautifies every space we gather in... so the moment you walk through the door, your body knows it's safe to soften.
Lisa makes sure every woman is held and comfortable, with her needs considered and met well. From your dietary needs to the little details you didn't know you needed, Lisa has already thought of it. While you're doing the work you came here to do, Lisa is making sure everything else is taken care of.
Lisa is a Becoming Her graduate who is now part of our alumni community. Through her own journey, she found her voice, stepped into her confidence, and designed an intentional life with her family of four at the center... while prioritizing her creativity and what lights her up. She knows what this work can open in a woman, because she has lived it.
Life Artist, Movement Guide, and Soul Essence Photographer
Kelsey is a life artist in every sense, and one of Sedona's most beloved artists, recognized as Best of Sedona in 2023 and 2025. After six years as a senior art director in the corporate world, she followed her soul back to nature... and her bliss to Sedona.
She is a JourneyDance guide, a yoga and meditation teacher, and a soul essence photographer. Her philosophy is simple: "I don't direct, I listen."
Kelsey is a wise soul who holds so much wisdom about Sedona and the sacred nature of this land. At Awaken, she'll guide us in movement, yin yoga under the stars, voice activation, storytelling, soul essence photography, and more.
"Kelsey is a Goddess." Kristen F., Awaken 2023
Nourishment
Alissa and Megan are the traveling private chefs behind Holistic Curated Kitchen. Both trained in culinary arts at Johnson & Wales University, and they bring holistic nutrition credentials to every menu they create. Their love of functional food was born from their own healing journeys, so they cook with intention: food designed to support your body and the deeper work we're doing together. They source from local farmers whenever they can, and every menu is allergy accommodating. Expect build-your-own nourish bowls made exactly the way your body wants them... and a dressed-up, plated celebration dinner on our final night.
You don't need to have done Becoming Her or attended one of my retreats before. You're welcome here.
"Above and beyond."

"I have Awakened into the essence of my true self."
"I feel as though I have completely cleared out old ways of being and I have Awakened into the essence of my true self... Life can be EASY if I allow it to be."
