You Belong in the Room 2027
A Sacred Pause
LEARN HOW TO MOVE IN THE RHYTHM OF YOUR OWN BEING
5 DAYS, 4 NIGHTS, PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO, APRIL 2027
A Sacred Homecoming to Yourself
You Belong in the Room is an intimate oceanfront retreat in Puerto Vallarta created for women who are ready to take a sacred pause and come home to themselves. In the stillness and beauty of this sacred space, we invite each woman to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the parts of herself that have been silenced, forgotten, or set aside. Through reflection, rest, soulful connection, and deep honoring, we affirm that every piece of you is worthy—and that you belong, just as you are. This retreat is a journey of remembering, reclaiming, and rising into the fullness of who you’ve always been.
Who This Retreat Is For
You Belong in the Room is for the woman who’s been showing up for everyone else—but is ready to show up for herself. She feels a quiet tug on her heart that says there’s more—more to feel, more to heal, more to reclaim. She’s craving rest for her body, restoration for her spirit, and a deep reconnection with her own truth.
She may be navigating a transition, carrying unseen grief, or simply feeling disconnected from her joy. She’s strong, but tired. Wise, yet still longing to be witnessed and poured into.
She is willing to be vulnerable, knowing that true healing begins when masks come off.
She is willing to support other women, recognizing the sacred power of sisterhood.
She is open-minded, understanding that growth often begins where comfort ends.
She’s not coming to perform or impress—she’s coming to be. To listen. To feel. To be held by the stillness of beauty, by a circle of women, and most importantly, by herself.
This retreat is for the woman who knows deep down... she belongs in the room.
It’s time to step away from the busyness of life—the constant demands of being a mother, wife, businesswoman, minister, or any of the countless roles we hold. Each title is valuable, but so are you. As women, we live with a constant discontent, never fully satisfied with the version of ourselves. But we must learn to embrace and appreciate who and where we are in the present. This retreat is not about adding more knowledge to your head but about nurturing the heart of the woman within.
Imagine yourself waking up to the rhythmic whisper of ocean waves, the sunlight gently kissing your skin. The air is warm, fragrant with salt and blooms. For the next five days, your only responsibility is to be open—to breathe deeply, embrace stillness, and welcome the beauty of your own presence. At a stunning villa in Puerto Vallarta, you will find a sanctuary that invites you to rest, reflect, and reconnect with the incredible woman within.
WHY YOU BELONG IN THE ROOM.
Silence the Noise: Step away from daily distractions and create space to hear your own heart.
Embrace Connection: Build authentic sisterhood with other women who are on a journey of self-discovery.
Rediscover You: Explore the question: Am I living the life I desire? Dive deep into what truly matters to you.

This is your invitation to release the expectations and rediscover your joy.

Testimonials from the 2026 attendees
The 2026 You Belong in the Room Experience was truly a sacred rest. The Lord met us in that beautiful serene space. Tiffany curated an experience like I've never had before. The space was top tier, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was charged by the Holy Ghost.
I came expecting a time of rest and relaxation, but what I experienced was so much more. I expanded my sisterhood circle, enjoyed being pampered, and experienced the presence of the Lord in a brand new way. I found myself saying, "How much did I pay for this?" It felt like a million dollar vacation. Thank you Tiffany and co-host Shurvone
