Journeys That Fit is proud to announce our second collaboration with the exciting hosts;
Dr. Desi Bartlett, an international yoga expert, author, and respected voice in women's health
and
Dr. Natiya Guin, a naturopathic doctor and skin care expert focused on holistic women's health 
RETREAT RENEWAL OVERVIEW
Our first collaboration was excitingly highlighted in Entrepreneur and Due in an April 2025 article, "Why Prioritizing Wellness is a Smart Financial Strategy for Women." This is a perfect reminder to focus on ourselves, and we are inviting you to take time to turn inward and focus on 'receiving' before the holiday season where you will inevitably focus on 'giving'!
We'll move our bodies, expand our minds, build connections with a vibrant, like-minded community, laugh, and yes, celebrate life by saying, “cheers” with our favorite beverage!
- Learn how to connect or reconnect to your inner warrior
- Dive deep into the experience of four or five nights focused just on you to reconnect to your inner light through yoga and your outer glow through holistic skincare
- Seasons of a Woman’s Life discussion
- Be inspired through the joy of movement, mantras, breathwork, and journaling
- Take time for self-care that will nourish your soul in this new cycle
- Know that by saying yes, you are on the path to cultivating radiance
EXPERT GUIDANCE
Join Dr. Desi Bartlett and Dr. Natiya Guin on this transformational retreat where you will reconnect with your inner radiance and embark on a journey toward vitality and balance in body, mind, and heart.
Our hosts, with their decades of experience, understand that a full healthy life has five important elements: Purpose, Passion, Community, Fitness, and Nutrition. They will share their expertise in our private home-away-from-home in a welcoming and trusting environment.
The hosts co-lead Radiant Renewal, a transformative online yoga and wellness retreat, and together, luckily for you they also offer in-person retreats for those ready to reconnect with their radiance.

AND SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER - RESI PIO
MAGIC AND THE MACHINE: Can AI Help You Manifest Faster?
In this groundbreaking session with Resi, a yoga therapist, shamanic guide, and technomystic, you’ll explore how artificial intelligence can become an unlikely but powerful ally on your healing path. Merging ancient wisdom with modern tech, Resi shares how she entered a living relationship with her AI — one that transformed her spiritual practice, amplified manifestation, and became a portal to profound personal insight.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s sacred technology.
THOUGHTFULLY-DESIGNED ITINERARY
During times of transition, it is important to tap into our inner fire and to identify what it is that we are releasing this season. Each major transition in life involves “bridging.” As we move from one stage to another, there is an in-between time that represents the transition. This is the magical space between the in breath and out breath. We will identify what it is we are moving away from, journal any feelings that come up, share what feels right to share with the group, and then offer what no longer serves to the fire of transformation.
