Hear from Past Attendees

Charmela, USA 🇺🇸

Greece Retreat 2024

This retreat experience surpasses words. It’s a blissful feeling with such a deep connection to self, a love, and an appreciation for everyone who came. I came as an individual and left with a sisterhood. There is life past your fears so do it scared! I did!

remi, Brazil 🇧🇷

Croatia Retreat 2023

This retreat was absolutely transformational for me! I’ve never connected with people that quickly on so many levels. I found myself being vulnerable and open and growing naturally… in just one week!

Casey, USA 🇺🇸

Greece Retreat 2024

I think my mindset changed over anything. This was my first retreat, first international flight, first time to Europe, first time for a lot of things! I couldn’t have asked for a better group to end up with, and Jo and Ania made it so easy to get comfortable and get vulnerable. It felt safe, and that made it the perfect environment to transform. I will be forever changed for so many reasons, but I think leaving inspired was the part I’ll hold onto. AND now I have a beautiful group of women who are driven and powerful to lean on when needed.

Katelyn, USA 🇺🇸

Croatia Retreat 2023

I’ve always been told that my dreams were “out there”, unrealistic, or silly but after my-1 on-1 with Jo I feel so validated! Anything is possible and I have a wonderful group of ladies to cheer me on whatever ventures I decide to try.

Allison, USA 🇺🇸

Greece Retreat 2024

I came to the retreat super burnt out on work and life, but I left the retreat excited to implement new tools and “do it scared” alongside my new sisters.

Croatia Retreat 2023

This retreat was absolutely transformational for me! I’ve never connected with people that quickly on so many levels. I found myself being vulnerable and open and growing naturally… in just one week!

How it all started

Hey! Bonjour, Ciao, Yasu! It’s me, Jo!! In 2022, I had a crazy idea to run a journaling retreat with strangers.

The next scene is me coordinating a global meetup for 12 diverse souls who flew from all around the world to journal, think, and grow.

The experience was magical.

It was not only my life’s work but also connected retreaters for life.

Since then, I’ve hosted 7 retreats in Croatia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Greece, and Italy, helping 75+ retreaters transform into their evolution.

I love nurturing everyone brave enough to show up for themselves. 

Will I see you somewhere in the world in 2025?

XO, Jo
