Why I Created the Bloom With Spring Retreat

Hi There!

I want to take a moment to share something truly close to my heart. Over the past few years, I’ve learned the value of pausing—of stepping away from the noise and giving myself permission to listen to my body, my spirit, and what I truly need. Those moments of stillness have led to some of the biggest breakthroughs in my life, and I want to share that experience with you.


That’s why I created the Bloom With Spring Retreat, happening April 24–28, 2025, at Casa Alternavida in Puerto Rico.


This retreat is more than a getaway; it’s an opportunity for you to step into alignment with the energy of spring—a season of renewal, growth, and transformation.


Why Spring and Why These Dates in April?

Spring is about new beginnings. It’s the season where nature reminds us of our own ability to bloom, to grow, and to manifest the life we want. It's my FAVORITE season too!


What makes this retreat even more special is that it coincides with a New Moon—a time that’s energetically perfect for setting intentions and embracing new beginnings.


The nature surrounding Casa Alternavida is in perfect alignment with the purpose of this retreat. The rainforest, the ocean, the fresh air—they all offer somatic healing, supporting your body and spirit in ways that words can’t fully capture.


Imagine grounding yourself in the lush rainforest, feeling the warm ocean breeze, and aligning with the rhythms of nature. This retreat is designed to hold you in that energy, so you can leave feeling renewed, recharged, and ready to manifest what’s next for you.



What You Can Expect

Here’s what’s waiting for you:

  • Daily Practices for Renewal: Start your mornings with slow flow yoga, connecting with your breath and body. In the evenings, we’ll gather for meditation circles, creating space for reflection, intention-setting, and peace.

  • Ceremonies to Anchor New Beginnings: We’ll begin with a Fire Ceremony, letting go of what no longer serves us, and close with a Cacao & New Moon Ceremony, a little heart medicine as we tap into the transformative energy of the moon and spring.

  • Immersion in Nature: You’ll enjoy two nature adventures—think hiking to waterfalls or paddleboarding in serene waters—and three beach trips where you can relax and connect with the healing power of the ocean.

  • Delicious, Nourishing Meals: Our meals are organic, vegan/vegetarian, and crafted with care to fuel your body and soul.

  • A Touch of Luxury: Each guest receives a 60-minute massage to unwind completely, with the option to upgrade (at an additional cost) to a 90-minute session for deeper relaxation.

  • Looking for a HUGE Transformation? You also have the option to book a rapid transformation coaching session with Casa Alternavida Owner, Yancy Wright to help you work through any roadblocks in your business, professional, or personal life.


Why This Retreat Is Different

This isn’t just a yoga retreat—it’s a space to reconnect with yourself, align with the energy of spring and the new moon, and immerse yourself in somatic healing. From meaningful group discussions to quiet, personal moments, this retreat is designed to help you feel supported, inspired, and ready to bloom.


Who This Retreat Is For

If you’re someone who:

  • Feels ready for a fresh start.

  • Wants to explore yoga, meditation, and wellness in a supportive, nurturing environment.

  • Craves time in nature to reflect and heal.

  • Is ready to set intentions and manifest the life you want.


Then this retreat is for you. (I hope that's all of you!)


Why Casa Alternavida? (Ummm. Did you see the picture, above?)

Located near the lush El Yunque Rainforest, Casa Alternavida offers the perfect mix of comfort and nature. The property is designed to support wellness, with tranquil spaces for rest, connection, and renewal. Am I biased because I work here too? Maybe, but I wouldn't endorse or work for a place that wasn't in total energetic alignment for me.


Also, let’s not forget the magic of Puerto Rico itself. The ocean, the rainforest, the vibrant energy, THE WARM WATER/WEATHER—it’s all part of what makes this retreat so transformative. You'll never want to leave & I won't make you.


Let’s Talk About Cost

Investing in yourself is powerful, and I want this to feel accessible for you. Remember this is ALL Inclusive! Once you pay, you don't have to think about any other expenses other than your airfare. NO extra costs once you arrive unless you're adding time to your massage or a session with Yancy.


Here’s the breakdown:

  • Shared Rooms: $2350–$2500

  • Private Rooms: $2600–$2900

To make it even sweeter, I’m offering an Early Bird Special—save $350 when you pay in full by February 14, 2025. You can reserve your spot now with a $500 deposit, which applies to your total.


Why I Want You to Join Me

This retreat is my way of sharing what’s helped me find balance, clarity, and joy. It’s a space where you can reconnect with yourself, align with nature, and embrace the beauty of new beginnings. I have a feeling it's going to be a retreat full of friends, both old and new and I can't wait to share my heart with you!


If this speaks to you, I hope you’ll join me. I know it's not even Winter yet, but think of "Future You" aligning with the energy of spring, as you harness the power of the new moon, and bloom with a group of incredible souls.



With love, Michelle

Hi, thanks for stopping by!

Hopefully you find something that resonates with you here at Divine Brilliance, where we love the bling, but we love even more when the sparkles shine from within.
