Thank you to all the incredible women who showed up in awe-striking vulnerability and authenticity! This experience was so heart-filling. From strangers to sisters, we are forever thankful for our time together in the Caymans and the times to come!
Stay tuned for future retreats!
A reflection of our experience…
At a private beach-front villa for a five-day/ four-night retreat in the Cayman Islands. Wake up to the smell of herbal teas steeping and rich coffee brewing.
Enjoy a homemade vegan breakfast rooted in ancient Ayurveda therapeutic principles. Embody how herbs and spices can support the Woman in balancing her chakras, subtle/energetic body, and physical body.
After a slow breakfast, take the time to explore and gift yourself what feels good and is needed. Perhaps it is time to:
Sit by the sea and journey through the reflection questions offered to you in our retreat journal and devotional. Created intentionally for our gathering, this journal will help you integrate your retreat experience into your daily rhythm upon returning home.
Walk the beach or swim in the world-renowned waters of the Cayman Islands. Allow the sun to warm you from the inside out as you melt into breath and ease.
Explore the local scene. Sometimes a little spice encourages us to step into the Femininity of play! The Cayman Islands are rich in culture. Embody your Feminine thirst for adventure and allow your soul to guide you where you want to explore.
Coming home to our sacred home base, be led through an embodied soul-enriching yoga practice by our yoga instructor and marine expert, Lina Nelson.
Following movement and light refreshments, engage your mind and your heart as Kellie, our herbalist and Menstrual coach, leads classwork diving into the science and significance of the Woman’s cycle and the rhythms, foods, and herbs that support your vitality and abundance.
Each day of our retreat will focus on a different season of the Menstrual Cycle (Menstruation, Follicular Phase, Ovulation, and Luteal Phase).
By the conclusion of our retreat, you will have the tools to embody cyclical living and all the Menstrual Cycle’s physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits.
Conclude the day with a home-cooked dinner, time for heart-to-heart connections, therapeutic dancing under the stars (led by Lina), and deep rest.

Our Facilitators
Lina
Hello beloved sister, I’m Lina!
Devoted to following the call of the sea and the wisdom of my heart, my expertise in scuba diving, surfing, permaculture, yoga, and the marine sciences led me to the Galapagos Islands where I met the love of my life. I currently steward a beautiful haven in the Galapagos Islands with my husband where we serve our local and global communities.
My heart beats for connecting women to the Earth, their inner beings, and their natural state of freedom through self-discovery, connection to community, mindfulness practices, and experiences immersed in nature.
I am so excited to be sharing my heart with you through our Connect to Expand 2024 Grand Cayman Retreat. I cannot wait to meet you!
All my love,
Lina
Kellie
Hello beautiful sister, I’m Kellie!
Devoted to connecting women with the wisdom and vitality of their menstrual cycle, I am a student of clinical herbalism, the medicine of the forest, and the wisdom of horses.
As a somatic menstrual cycle coach, I am passionate about helping women connect with the somatic wisdom of their Menstrual Cycle. Offering classes and 1:1 coaching, I introduce and guide women into a deeper relationship with their cycle through working with medicinal plants, somatic practices, Ayurveda principles, and the intuitive guidance of horses.
I’ve experienced in my own life the transformative healing that occurs when the Woman is connected to her Cycle and the wildness of the ancient rhythms. I am passionate about connecting other women to the power of the intuition of the Womb.
I am overjoyed to be welcoming you to the Cayman Islands for our Connect to Expand Retreat!
In devotion to your journey,
Kellie
