a journey into discovering your core desires, with the work of
best selling author danielle laporte

october 22-23, 2022 - smith lake, alabama

Maria’s coziest retreat ever with only 8 attendees allowed for deeper introspection and one-on-one time with her. For the first time ever she is bringing The Desire Map journey to a retreat setting. As a certified Heart-Centered facilitator under best-selling author, Danielle Laporte, Maria is able to offer this two-day journey to tap into your deepest desires. This is for women who are ready to deepen their connection to themselves.

Maria’s retreats have been described as Spiritual tune-ups and soul-searching, transformative experiences. This retreat features 2 days in the beautiful and tranquil Smith Lake 1 hour and 21 minutes from the Huntsville and Birmingham Airports in Alabama. Filled with healing practices, these two days together in this transformative environment will be curated to provide deep awakenings to accelerate your inner growth, and deepen your connection to yourself, your desires, and to your dreams.

  • Are intrigued about learning what heart-centered living is all about

  • Have felt disconnected and want to rediscover yourself

  • Need to escape the daily grind and want to find some inner peace

  • Want to set up powerful goals with the deepest desires of your soul

  • Want to learn tools that you can apply in your daily life to feel more empowered, alive, and aligned.

  • Want to find what your core desires are for your life

  • yoga

  • deep dive into desire mapping

  • fireside heart-centered women’s circle connection

 topics covered

  • Divine Love
    …is the ultimate in Inclusiveness. Shadow + light and all of our fragments and glory are welcomed into the Heart. This can be the whole purpose of your life.

    This Virtue is the deeply practical approach to what mystics have been teaching for centuries.

  • Compassion
    …creates the cohesion that our psyches and societies are crying for. Compassion = mercy + courage + oneness awareness. Compassion is a skill of the heart-mind. And we’re here to cultivate it.

  • Wisdom
    …is not to be mistaken with knowledge (an exercise of the ego mind), Wisdom is a quality of the heart. It’s beyond intellect.

    You can’t hear your (Higher) self unless you get still and listen. School and business teach us to mine the “facts.” Now we’ll learn to tap WISDOM.

  • Loving Kindness
    …is one of the four cardinal virtues in Buddhism. It is a “deep friendliness” with ourselves and all beings.

    We can transform our default thinking of doubt and hostility to a steady stream of kindness—which is the ultimate freedom from suffering.

  • For Giving
    …is the heart’s natural impulse. It’s the deep call of these times to heal grievances and return to our innate state of being.

  • Resilience
    …is adaptability + inclusiveness + the fortitude of the heart. It’s not about toughening up, it’s about finding steadiness in the inclusive heart. We bend so we don’t break.

  • Radiance
    …is on the other side of your trial by fire. “Fixing” ourselves is a distraction. When we step out of that small self drama, we do life very differently. We can take even greater ownership of our healing process.

bailey benton
massage therapist

Bailey was born & raised in Huntsville, AL. After high school, she decided that the traditional route of education wasn’t for her, so instead she did a substantial amount of traveling, self-guided education, and eventually trained to become a Yoga Teacher, Life Coach, and LMT. Her passion for wellness was sparked after navigating her way through a multitude of body-based issues that she struggled with for the majority of her life. Bailey decided that she wanted to devote herself to supporting people in doing the same. She believes it’s our birthright to feel really good in our own body, mind & soul. Her work as a massage therapist is rooted in a desire to help people feel safer, healthier, and more connected to their physical and energetic body so that they can live their life more fully.
