Overview

Join Laina Florio and Dr. Krista Stanley for a transformative retreat designed to restore, reset, and reconnect you with your true self. This immersive experience blends soul-centered healing, mediumship, dreamwork, and energy healing, all set in the serene beauty of Baja California Sur’s coastal oasis. Throughout the retreat, we'll explore the intersection of the material and spiritual worlds, discovering that our connections are never lost, but rather transformed. Through deep inner work, moments of relaxation, and cultural immersion, each of us will leave feeling lighter, inspired, and more aligned with our unique purposes. The retreat offers a perfect balance of self-reflection and cultural exploration. Enjoy nature’s beauty as you walk miles of nearly deserted beaches, witness the awe-inspiring migration of whales, and release baby turtles into the ocean. Experience restorative yoga and wellness treatments while honoring your inner goddess, and make time for meaningful connections with new companions. The week also includes time to reconnect with loved ones who have transitioned, helping to deepen your spiritual connection and healing. In addition to soul-centered healing with Laina Florio and mediumship and dreamwork with Dr. Krista Stanley, we will enjoy transformative wellness activities such as a Temazcal ceremony, qigong, and daily yoga or meditation sessions. Our stay at La Poza, a serene boutique retreat, provides the ideal environment for relaxation and reflection.

Welcome to Cabo San Lucas

Pre-Trip Extension - Day 1: Tuesday, January 19, 2027

Welcome to Cabo San Lucas, where golden beaches meet the sparkling blue waters of the Sea of Cortez. An included transfer will take you from the airport to El Ganzoa stylish oceanfront retreat known for its artistic energy and stunning views. Settle in and soak up the relaxed Baja atmosphere. Sip a cold drink next to the rooftop infinity pool or stroll along the marina.

As evening falls, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner at Acre, a local favorite and winner of a green Michelin star, where bold flavors and market-fresh ingredients take center stage. Expect expertly grilled seafood, flavorful meats, and locally inspired dishes, all served in a warm and inviting setting.

Pre-Trip Extension - Day 2: Wednesday, January 20, 2027

Wake up to another beautiful morning in Baja and enjoy a leisurely breakfast of fresh fruit, pastries, and ocean views. In the late morning, we’ll set sail on a private yacht charter aboard the Sea Breeze, cruising through the stunning waters of the Sea of Cortez.

Our route takes us to some of Cabo’s most iconic landmarks, including El Arco, the dramatic rock formation at Land’s End; Pelican Rock, known for its crystal-clear snorkeling waters; and the lively Sea Lion’s Colony, where you’ll see (and hear!) these playful marine mammals basking in the sun. Keep your eyes on the water—you may even spot dolphins swimming alongside the yacht, a common sight in these rich marine waters.

Enjoy delicious food and drinks on board as we take in the breathtaking coastline, soaking up the sun and sea breeze. 

After returning to shore, the afternoon is yours—explore San José del Cabo’s charming boutiques and galleries or unwind at El Ganzo, whether by the rooftop infinity pool, at the spa, or relaxing with a cocktail on the beach.

As the sun sets, we’ll gather at the hotel for dinner. We'll reminisce about the day’s adventure over a delicious meal of fresh, locally inspired flavors.

Day1

Welcome to Todos Santos

Day 1: Thursday, January 21, 2027

Our journey begins in Baja California Sur, where the laid-back charm of Todos Santos awaits. Plan to arrive at Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) or a nearby Cabo hotel no later than 1 pm. If you’d like to ease into the adventure, consider signing up for our pre-trip extension or arriving early and staying at Hotel El Ganzo, our recommended pre-trip hotel in Cabo. 

A private group transfer will bring you from the airport or El Ganzo to our serene retreat at La Poza, our home for the next six nights.

Settle into your surroundings before gathering for a welcome circle, where we’ll introduce the week ahead. Our first group experience is a soulful connection ceremony that sets the tone for the upcoming journey.

As the sun dips, we’ll meet a local mezcal connoisseur for a tasting experience that blends history, tradition, and flavor. Dinner follows at Na’Ha, the resort’s intimate restaurant, where we’ll savor Baja-inspired cuisine while soaking in the peaceful ambiance of our retreat.

Sunrise Yoga, Soul Consciousness Living Session & Qigong

Day 2: Friday, January 22, 2027

Greet the morning with a gentle sunrise yoga session led by Eva, allowing your body to ease into the day. There's also the option to take things slower with a meditation session led by Krista. 

After breakfast at the hotel, Laina will guide us through an illuminating session on soul consciousness and heart-centered living. We've built in self-reflection time afterwards so everyone can truly soak in the session. 

Savor a leisurely lunch at the hotel. In the early afternoon, Krista will begin her one-on-one mediumship sessions. Each of us will be scheduled at some point throughout the week. In these one-on-one readings, Krista will use her gifts as a medium to connect with loved ones who have passed, offering messages of guidance, healing, and reassurance.

Back at the hotel, the afternoon is yours to relax at the pool, journal, or maybe even kayak around the lagoon. We'll come back together around 4 pm for a Qigong session, a meditative movement practice rooted in ancient Chinese tradition. We'll use deep breathing and focused intention paired with slow movement to improve the flow of energy (qi) throughout our bodies.

Afterwards, we'll take a short drive into town for a delicious dinner at Oysteria, where we'll savor fresh seafood and local flavors.

Dream Workshop, Art Gallery Tour & Turtle Release

Day 3: Saturday, January 23, 2027

Begin the day with yoga or guided meditation at the hotel, setting an intentional tone for the day ahead. Krista will lead the group in a dreamwork workshop after breakfast, offering ways to use dreams for processing and to integrate synchronicity. 

Sit down for lunch at your leisure. Krista will continue meeting for individual mediumship sessions, while the rest of the group can enjoy some free time. 

In the mid-afternoon, we'll transfer to town for a local art gallery tour. What better way to learn more about the culture of a community than through its creative works? We'll have a bit of time to wander the unique boutiques and cafes in town before heading to our next activity. 

As the sun sets, we’ll participate in a heartwarming turtle release and learn about the wisdom of these ancient creatures while we watch them make their way toward the ocean. 

Dinner tonight offers a glimpse into the loving spirit of Todos Santos. Cristina and Paco will welcome us into La Palapa del Sabor for a home-cooked meal, giving us a chance to sample a variety of delicous local dishes.

Whale Watching, Compassionate Self Forgiveness, Sound Bath

Day 4: Sunday, January 24, 2027

An early start brings us to the marina for an unforgettable morning on the water: whale watching in the Sea of Cortez. Witness these majestic giants in their natural habitat before we return to shore for brunch at Jazamango Café.

Once we return to the hotel, Laina will lead a deep dive into navigating obstacles, embracing self-worth, and the power of self-forgiveness. We've scheduled in reflection time again, so sit with your thoughts and perhaps journal and go for a meditative walk as you begin to embody her messages. 

Krista will continue her private sessions to connect with departed loved ones or receive intuitive guidance. Her mediumship sessions provide a safe and supportive space for healing messages that we'll all benefit from throughout this healing retreat. 

As the sun dips below the horizon, we'll tap into our artistic side for sunset mandala painting. Creating mandalas is a deeply meditative practice, allowing space for gratitude and reflection as you paint the repetitive patterns of the shape.

Dinner tonight is a casual affair. We'll enjoy some snacks as we lounge around the pool. 

As the evening continues to set in, we’ll gather for a sound bath and dream journey with Kari Shein. This transformative experience harmonizes mind, body, and spirit.

Temazcal, Agricole & Yoga Nidra

Day 5: Monday, January 25, 2027

This morning’s yoga or meditation session invites us to center ourselves as we begin the second half of our journey. 

After breakfast, we'll drive into the Todos Santos desert to Paradero, an adults-only sanctuary designed to inspire total relaxation and healing. 

A local shaman will guide us in a Temazcal ceremony. This ancestral ritual uses a stone "sweat lodge" to symbolize a return to the womb. The shaman will use a variety of herbs, steam, and heat to purify and renew our spirits. 

Paradero has a beautiful pool overlooking the arid landscape, so we'll spend an hour or so lounging and regrouping after our ceremony. A short drive south brings us to Agricole for a leisurely farm-to-table lunch. This Michelin-guided multi-concept space includes a farm shop and restaurant, set within its beautiful garden. 

Back at La Poza, we have a very low-key evening ahead of us. Krista's mediumship sessions will continue, while the rest of the group will enjoy time to rest, walk on the beach, journal, or swim. Dinner will be at the hotel. 

Let's take an intentional moment to fully unwind before bed with a Yoga Nidra class. This type of yoga evokes a state of deep relaxation through meditative techniques such as body scans, breathwork, and peaceful imagery, helping to calm the nervous system.

Day 6: Tuesday, January 26, 2027

Ease into the morning with one last revitalizing yoga or meditation session before breakfast. A late-morning gratitude workshop with Laina will help us integrate everything we’ve explored throughout the week.

Lunch will be at the hotel, followed by another dreamwork session with Krista to refine the skills we discussed earlier in the week. 

We'll begin to close out the week with a celebratory sunset dinner at The Green Room in town. We'll raise a glass to the friendships and transformations that have unfolded throughout the week as we watch the sun slip below the horizon. 

Once we arrive back at the hotel, our guides will lead us through a closing gratitude circle to round out this beautiful experience we've shared as a group.

Reviews

I have traveled twice with Girls' Guide to the World, and both trips have been exceptional! If you are looking for something different from the usual "touristy" attractions, then you should definitely choose this travel group. The hotels are first class, included meals are delicious, and the included events are fun things you might not find on your own. The small size of each group is very nice and enables access to places and activities that are unavailable when traveling with a large group. I have been traveling for 20 years, and Girls' Guide is absolutely the best!

Kathy M on Trip Advisor - Jan 2023

Being free of planning every detail of vacation retreat, truly was the best part of traveling with Girls Guide to the World. Every detail was considered and executed perfectly.

Cindy B, 2023 Todos Santos trip participant

This is an excellent trip for someone who wants to begin their mindfulness journey.. Everything begins at the beginning, and quite often the beginning begins when you shift your mind in a new direction. Todos Santos is the perfect beginning.

FAQs

You should fly in and out of the Cabo San Lucas Airport (SJD).

The trip officially starts on the afternoon of January 21, 2027, but consider arriving a day early so you have time to relax and adjust to the local time zone. 


If you decide to arrive early, check out our add-on Pre-Trip night or extension in the 'Add-on' section. 


Remember, if you fly in on the day the trip starts, arrive before 1:00 pm to take the included transportation to your hotel in Todos Santos. 

Group airport transfers are included on the first day of the trip for arrivals before 1:00 pm. A group departure transfer is also included, but your flight must depart after 12:30 pm to use the service. If you arrive or depart outside these times, we can arrange a private transfer at an additional cost. 

Plan on flying in and out of San José del Cabo International Airport (SJD) for this trip. 


Please note that as of June 2025, the state of Baja California has implemented a tourist tax for all visitors. This payment can be made online and is a flat fee of 488 pesos (about $26 US Dollars), regardless of how long you plan to visit. You can fill out the form and pay it here. The state uses this tax to support better local infrastructure and environmental protections within the community.

We'll have a Zoom call about six weeks before the trip starts to discuss all that information and give you a packing list. We love this website, which can help you with packing and travel trips.

The average temperature in Todos Santos in January for a typical day ranges from a high of 76°F (25°C) to a low of 62°F (17°C). Some would describe it as mildly cool with a gentle breeze. 

We require that everyone traveling with Girls' Guide be able to comfortably walk 3–5 miles per day unassisted, and without difficulty, can navigate stairs, uneven streets or paths, and occasional steep terrain. Most of our trips require this level of physical mobility and fitness, especially when visiting historic towns and landmarks where vehicle access is limited and walking often offers the best experience.
