Are you outwardly capable and high-functioning, yet inwardly feeling stuck, depleted, or uncertain about your next chapter?
Constant responsibility, giving, over-working, life-changes, or stress can gradually erode your energy, clarity, and connection to yourself.
This deeply personal, therapist-led retreat offers a structured reset within restorative luxury — specifically for those who are now ready to re-align and re-empower themselves.
Through life-changing workshops that guide emotional release, build the new, and bring you home to yourself, you leave feeling lighter, clearer, confident and with practical tools for a more empowered way of living.
Alongside the inner work, enjoy private ensuite accommodation, riverside dining each evening, and two stunning trips.
A Powerful and Deeply Supportive 8-day Reset.
From the moment you arrive in Türkiye, everything is taken care of. You are personally met and brought to our private luxury villa, where your own ensuite room awaits.
Each day begins with breakfast, followed by guided workshops in our calm, air-conditioned lounge. These sessions are designed to release, awaken, strengthen and empower — creating deep, meaningful change.
Late afternoons offer time to relax before we stroll together to carefully chosen riverside restaurants for à la carte dining, set against Dalyan’s beautiful natural backdrop.
Two signature excursions — a sunset river cruise and a full-day yacht experience — offer space to unwind, reflect and restore.
By the end of the week, you feel clearer, more grounded, and leave with a renewed sense of direction and self.

You have the perfect space to relax and reflect, unwind, chat, or meditate as you choose.
WiFi is available free of charge, though connectivity in the area can be slower than in major cities.
Unspoilt Dalyan, Southern Türkiye.
The retreat is based in a luxury villa on the outskirts of the largely uncommercialised town of Dalyan in Southern Türkiye, a 40 minute drive from the airport.
The area is known for its stunning mountains, scenic river, colourful bougainvilleas, and friendly atmosphere – as well as its ancient rock tombs carved into the cliffs, protected loggerhead turtles, and breathtaking scenery stretching from freshwater lake to wide, unspoilt beach.
We have a long history here and know many of the locals, so it feels like extended family wherever we go.
Nourishing and Plentiful.
Freshly prepared breakfast and lunch are served daily at the villa.
On our full-day yacht excursion, lunch is enjoyed on board as we anchor in the turquoise bays of Gocek.
Each evening, we dine à la carte at carefully selected riverside restaurants – allowing you to enjoy the variety and charm of Dalyan’s beautiful waterfront setting.
During our river excursion, dinner is served on board in the sunset, on the calm Koycegiz lake.
Tea, coffee, water and juices are available at the villa throughout the day. You can purchase additional beverages at restaurants or outside the villa as you choose.
Dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice. We ask for full details on your booking form so arrangements can be made accordingly.

Time to Celebrate.
The retreat concludes with a beautiful riverside dinner — a chance to pause, exhale, enjoy the camaraderie, and celebrate all that has shifted within you.
There is often a sense of lightness at this point — clearer, more grounded, and re-energised from the depth of the days behind you.
Afterwards, you’re free to explore the charming town of Dalyan. Wander its vibrant streets, browse the small shops, or enjoy some music and a drink by the water.
It’s an evening to savour – ready to leave this incredible week feeling yourself moving forward in a whole new way, underpinned with all the resources you receive for ongoing support and assimilation.
Supported from Start to Finish.
It’s natural to feel a little uncertain when travelling alone to a retreat — especially for the first time. You won’t be the only one feeling this way.
From the moment you arrive, you are personally met at the airport and are fully supported throughout your stay.
With a maximum of six women, the retreat remains intimate and deeply held — creating a level of trust and ease rarely found in larger groups.
There is space here for:
• Individual attention
• Meaningful connection
• Lasting change
• Laughter
• Depth
• Genuine sisterhood
And with the resources you receive and the opportunity to do further work with Demi if desired, this is much more than simply a week away to feel better – it’s a complete reset for you and your life.

We support all the initiatives to protect the wildlife, in particular the Loggerhead Turtles for which this area is famous. We partner with a tour operator for our excursions who is a leader in recycling and minimal waste and who doesn't do the 'crab catching' (like some other operators) that is the Turtle Food!
This Retreat runs from Saturday to Saturday, 1st - 8th August 2026
Women join us from across the world and are warmly welcomed. (Fluency in English is required)
