Have you ever met someone and just known!
This wasn’t the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last?

I met the beautiful Rebecca Walker on a retreat in Tulum in early 2024. By a twist of fate (or maybe divine orchestration), we were paired to share the same room… and even the same bed.

What began as a week of shared space quickly blossomed into a deep, soul-level friendship.
The kind that feels like you’ve known each other for lifetimes.

Over the past year and a half, that friendship has only deepened. I couldn’t have asked for a better soul sister. She is everything to me. We balance each other perfectly, holding space for one another through every season. I would not be where I am today without her.

This summer, we spent so much time together at festivals, often laughing as we finished each other’s sentences or knew exactly what the other was thinking. We are in tune, deeply connected, and beautifully interwoven. She holds a sacred place in my heart.

When I felt the call to offer an international retreat earlier this year, I knew without a doubt, we were doing this together. It was an instant yes from her when I pitched the idea.

The waters of Tulum brought us together, and those waves have only continued to deepen and flow.

Our upcoming retreat in Nicaragua in February 2026 is an invitation into the magic we’ve found in our connection.
The secret serenity of sisterhood, woven with the beauty of movement, flow, and deep soul connection.

This weekend was such a humbling moment for me. Filled with deep, gratitude for my journey.

Tears of joy streamed down my face. That moment… the vision I’d held… finally seeing all the pieces fall into place.

So often we’re called to trust with blind faith.
To trust the visions, to take the leap.

At the end of last year, as I began my festival applications, my guides whispered: It’s time.

Time to share this water wisdom with more people. Time to step forward as a presenter so the message could spread more widely.

This week, I had the privilege of facilitating a Water Ceremony at Sakred Circle. As I prepared, I felt it. Something big was going to happen at this one. I started early, carefully setting out 40 glasses.

They were gone in moments. We quickly prepped more. Again… gone.

I ran out of water. So much gratitude for my dear sister, Rebecca Walker, for running to get me more.

My hands shook as I poured more cups.
Not from nerves, but from an intense vibration pulsing through me. This was my biggest ceremony yet. Seeing my vision come to reality.

More women kept arriving. Again and again, I returned to the lake, placing my feet in the water to gently ground the energy moving through me.

The excitement. The deep realization of what my guides had shown me. This was that moment.

Even now, as I write this, my body vibrates again, my fingers trembling. Gratitude flows through every part of me.

Later that evening, sitting in my car, I reflected quietly… and the tears came. This was it.

Where I began to truly see the ripple effect of these ceremonies. The impact.

And then, a song began to play. The lyrics struck me to my core:
“If I need
Something to believe
I believe
I believe in me.”

This is your sign: Believe in yourself. Believe in those visions. Trust the messages. Trust the guidance. Trust the wisdom you already hold.

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. You simply need to believe so deeply in yourself that the words flow through you. That you embody your work.

To each and every one of you who felt called to the water joining in ceremony with me.

THANK YOU.

I see the ripples you are creating.

We are the waters.

When I opened myself up to connecting with the waters, so much shifted in my life.

There was an innocence there, a wisdom, a grace and yet, a power, a strength.

Water can teach us so much when we pause and truly listen.

This is a call to the water lovers and to those who fear the waters.
A call to the women who seek flow, and the ones craving deeper connection in sisterhood.
A call to those longing to explore themselves so deeply that an unshakeable wave is calling to you, beckoning you in.

If you fear the waters, this is your invitation to begin exploring why.
The more we connect with the sacred waters, the more we begin to understand our own inner waters. The more we soften, open, and allow that fear to melt away.

This is a sacred call from the waters. An invitation and a deep remembering of who you are.

Join us at the Held by the Waters Retreat, near San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. An invitation to soften into the sacred wisdom within the waters and within yourself.

During this retreat, we will commune with water in many ways. through water ceremonies, song, and play while also deepening our relationship with our inner waters through movement, dance, and yoga.

There is a magic within you that longs to be witnessed.
As we connect with the waters, we begin to restructure our own inner waters to align with the cosmic flow.

There’s a powerful magic that unfolds when you reconnect with the truth of who you are, right at the center of your heart.
Our intention is to gently awaken the deepest desires within you, so that when you return home, you feel lit from within, ready to share your passion and purpose with the world around you.

The water is sacred. You are sacred.
And it is time to remember.
