Retreats

Retreats are a wonderful way to break away from the day to day, be inspired by others and have dedicated time to work on your projects as you continue to expand in the way you are creating impact.

April 2025: Join us in Morelia, Michoacan for REINICIO.

Step away from the hustle and immerse yourself in the heart of Morelia for a transformative week of connection, growth, and inspiration. REINICIO, meaning “beginning again,” is more than just a retreat—it’s your opportunity for a true reset.

For years, Morelia has been my safe space—a place of healing, creativity, and growth. It’s where I reconnect with myself, spark new ideas, and embrace what’s next. Now, I’m beyond excited to share this experience with you, creating a space where jefas like you can find clarity, inspiration, and a fresh start.

What You’ll Experience at REINICIO

This retreat balances business growth, self-care, and cultural immersion, offering a week designed to recharge your mind, nourish your soul, and elevate your business. Here’s a preview of what’s waiting for you:

Here’s what people are saying about the last retreats:

Lisa Marie Gomez, Co-Founder and COO of Panchax Beatz

“Participating in the JIT retreat gave me the structure and guidance I needed to define and refine the services my business can provide. Ashley did an excellent job leading our small cohort of amazingly talented and authentic jefas in a way that created space for meaningful connections, diverse idea exchanges, and honest feedback. I love that the program curriculum includes drafting a focused three-month plan during the retreat and setting a future meeting for us to check in and give updates on where we are in our plan.”
Guisell Gomez, Senior Editor of BeLatina News

“The Jefa In Training Retreat understands what Latina entrepreneurs need in order to grow. It has warmth, knowledge, and culture familiarity, creating a scenery in which any Latina can fine tune their skillsets. The growth you experience is beyond yours, you get to see others unravel their potential as well. It's great to see other badass Latinas thrive...Latinas, who, if you're lucky, will become as close as hermanas. I can't recommend this retreat enough! Sign up already!”
Melissa Gallardo, CEO of Bonita Fierce Candles

“I went into this retreat feeling nervous and came out with lifelong friendships and a game plan for the future of my business. I was so impressed with the balance of cultural experiences and business planning! I would go on another retreat again in an instant.”
Delsy Sandoval, host of Ocu-pasion Podcast

“The retreat was better than I could have imagined! I appreciated how safe the environment felt with a good balance between activities, teaching, conversation, etc. I left with a clear strategy and direction for my business but most of all, I left with life long friendships. Highly recommend this retreat, can't wait to go back!”
Aidee Mendoza, mental health advocate

This retreat was everything I expected it to be. It was important to me that the people I surrounded myself with had similar business values, which we did. I loved that during the “working session” Ashley was really intentional in making sure that's we grasped her ideas, always checking in and through discussion we learned so much about the lived experiences that' allows us to be thoughtful leaders. I'm conclusion, I recommend this retreat to any mujer that's is looking for clear communication, community and business guidance.ption goes here
Mirtle Pena-Calderon, editor + consultant

This retreat was life-changing. Everything was so thoughtfully and intentionally done that it was difficult to leave here without having something seep into your heart. The group of women I spent time with were exceptional and the background of Huatulco added to the conversations and energy of the retreat. 10/10 would recommend.
