You are not coming for a destination. You are coming for a return. To yourself, to your body, to the version of you that has been waiting quietly beneath the noise.
AS FEATURED IN
Each retreat moves through two registers: the inhale and the exhale. The conscious mind through journaling, conversation, and processing. The unconscious mind through embodiment, somatic work, and the kind of stillness that allows something deeper to surface.
We all know busy. What is rare, and what Maraya’s retreats provide, is the pause. The return to intimacy and intuition. Plenty of rest, play, and spaciousness to unplug from the craziness of life and plug back in to yourself.
"What I thought I was getting, I got. But I got so much more.
It was very, very powerful, and I'm very grateful for that space."
— WOMEN'S RETREAT ALUMNI
These retreats are not yoga retreats, plant medicine journeys, or destination travel adventures. They are something harder to categorize and more profound.
Maraya brings her 25 years as a midwife and clinician into the retreat container. She keeps her finger on the pulse of each individual and the group dynamic at all times, reading the room, adjusting, responding, holding. This is intuition and intimacy at their greatest.
"I've done a lot of healing work. But this was all-encompassing, the crowning jewel. It gave me the blueprint and I could place all of me into it. I'm grounded. I'm here."
— WOMEN'S RETREAT ALUMNI
The tools chosen for each retreat- breathwork, sound baths, somatic movement, constellation sessions, primitive reflex integration, and spa experiences- are hand-selected based on the group dynamic. No two retreats are identical. Each container is alive, responsive, and shaped by the women inside it.
These retreats are filled with women who look very different on paper. CEOs, founders, healthcare providers, devoted mothers who hold the world for their families, women in transition, women in grief, women in the middle of becoming something they can’t yet name.
What they share is readiness. A willingness to put down the armor for four days and tell the truth. And an intuition that brought them here, which has never been wrong.
Friendships form here that no one could have conjured on their own. Collaborations emerge that feel like destiny. These are not coincidences, they are what happens when the right women are put in the right room.
My life changed so much after my first retreat that I had to come back for another round. This time I’m leaving able to just declare who I’ve become, instead of translating myself into something more comfortable for other people
Healer & Transformation Coach
The most amazing part of this retreat has been the feeling of safety you create, and how you give us permission to be who we are without judgment. In doing so, everyone in the group is able to relax and do the same. You are truly illuminating. You shine like a north star guiding us through the darkness.
Retreat Alumni & CEO
“I had an aha moment during one of the talks. I could rewind all the moments in my life to this one, and it connected the dots on why I teach what I teach. I’m leaving more connected to my purpose than I’ve felt in a long time. Maraya has a way of attracting people who are all operating on the same level of consciousness. The sum became greater than the parts.
Movement Facilitator & Retreat Participant
Maraya enters each retreat as a midwife, holding the physiology and the mystery simultaneously. She understands hormones and nervous systems. She also understands grief, longing, hunger, and the particular ache of a woman who has given everything to everyone and forgotten herself in the process.
The experience weaves the physiological and the somatic, functional medicine and feminine embodiment, into something that cannot be reduced to a schedule or a syllabus. Every session, every meal, every moment of stillness is chosen with intention. And then Maraya reads the room and adjusts.
"This is the new paradigm of wellness. Not just cold plunges and hyperbaric chambers, but true nervous system vitality: sustainable, embodied, alive. We are not human doings. We are human beings."
— MARAYA BROWN
Modalities are hand-chosen per retreat and may include any combination of the following.
Active and restorative breathwork practices that release stored tension and repattern the nervous system response.
Vibrational healing that takes the body into states of rest and repair that are difficult to access through conventional means.
Body-led practices that reconnect a woman to her own physical presence, without performance or choreography.
Release of inherited emotional patterns, the ancestral threads that shape a woman’s nervous system and sense of worthiness.
Nervous system recalibration at the foundational level. The work that allows everything else to land and stay.
Rest, nourishment, beauty, laughter, and spaciousness. Because depletion cannot be healed by work alone.
Ashland, Oregon, is Maraya’s backyard. A town of extraordinary natural beauty, world-class theatre and food, and a landscape that lends itself to depth. Hosted here twice a year, these retreats are intimate and genuinely accessible without compromising anything in the experience.

Twice a year, Maraya takes a small group of women somewhere extraordinary. A property chosen for its beauty, its privacy, and its capacity to hold transformation. Every detail is curated. These are not travel retreats. The destination serves the depth, it does not replace it.

You have built a beautiful life. You move fast, you keep going, you hold it all together. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you lost the thread back to yourself. Not the performing version. The one who breathes.
You’ve mastered the art of doing. This retreat is an invitation to remember what it feels like to simply be. This is not a performance. This is ritual, repair, and re-patterning in person, with Maraya, with a small group of women who are done with fine.
Twice a year. A small group of women. A destination chosen for its beauty, privacy, and capacity to hold transformation. Spots fill through the waitlist, and members and WVC clients are notified first.
A sanctuary resort on the Yucatán coast. Sacred geometry, jungle, ocean, and a container built for feminine restoration. One of the most transformative properties Maraya has worked in.
From $10,000 per person
Nestled in Boynton Canyon, one of Sedona’s most sacred vortex sites. Red rocks, deep silence, and land that does half the work for you. The Enchantment is exactly what its name promises.
From $10,000 per person
Maraya lived in Hawaii for eight years. She knows this land and what it does to a woman’s nervous system. The Big Island holds a particular alchemy. Raw, volcanic, ancient, and deeply alive.
From $8,000 per person
There’s a version of you who’s been waiting for permission to slow down long enough to remember who she is underneath the doing — this bucket-list trip is for her. Under a sky that forgets how to hold still, you’ll create just for the joy of it, soak in water that’s been warming the earth for centuries, and sit with other ambitious women who’ll ask about your vision for what’s next and actually wait for the real answer. Co-hosted by Maraya Brown and Jennifer Grace, because the future you’re casting a vision for starts with who you’re becoming, not just what you’re checking off.
"I was leaving with 20 new friends. We stripped away all the pretense. We got vulnerable with each other right away, and we bonded. It was beautiful, exciting, emotional, scary at times, and just a really beautiful experience."
