Come Home To Yourself
A Week of Soul-Anchoring Transformation in Mexico
Step into warmth, self-love, and deep remembering
March 14 - 21, 2026
An Invitation to Return to Your Essence
Come home to yourself in the heart of Mexico — a place where cuerpo, corazón, y espíritu align. This immersive retreat with Dr. Gertrude Lyons is a sacred pause from the noise of life, created for women ready to mother themselves with tenderness, courage, and presence. Here, you’re not just resting — you’re rewriting how you relate to yourself, your needs, and your life.
Dr. Gertrude Lyons is a master coach, thought leader, and author with over 20 years of experience guiding women back to their inner wisdom beyond narratives of self-sacrifice and overgiving. Her work blends deep intuition, research, and lived experience to create spaces that are safe, honest, and transformative — where women remember they are already whole, worthy, and deeply supported.
Held in the sacred home of Dr. Gertrude Lyons in Zihuatanejo, Mexico
The Self-Mothering Experience is a 7-day immersive retreat designed to restore your relationship with rest, intuition, and inner safety. Through ceremony, water, creativity, and community, you’ll be guided from deep immersion into spacious integration—so the work doesn’t end when you leave.This retreat is intentionally limited to a small, intimate circle of women ready to redefine self-care beyond sacrifice and over-giving.
When was the last time you did something just for you?
As women, we’re often conditioned to put everyone else first — at the expense of our bodies, boundaries, and inner voice.
Over time, this way of living becomes exhausting, disconnecting, and unsustainable.
This retreat is an invitation to change that pattern.
Not so you can give more — but so you can finally live from fullness.

"Zihuatanejo translates to ‘the land of the woman.’ Let me just say—I feel one with the women here. I feel embraced, loved, and held, and I know that when I go home, I will carry that feeling just as fully. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience and for reminding me that I have that inner mother within me who can always hold me when my inner child needs it."

“This retreat been an absolute joy. I have enjoyed myself with women in a way that I never have. Talking about myself is not something that I am all that good at. And I had women looking at me and listening and wanting to know me, wanting to know my light side and my dark side. I felt so at home and so seen."

"I'm always moved by how women come together in a retreat like this as strangers. And within days, we are so close—like sisters. We went through an incredible journey of leaving things behind, reclaiming parts of ourselves, and really rewriting motherhood for ourselves—together, individually, and collectively. It was amazing."
