The Awaken Your Light Retreat 2025 is a seven-day luxury immersion for women leaders, creatives, and healers ready to step into their next chapter. Each day balances sacred practices like yoga, meditation, and therapeutic rituals with curated luxury experiences such as yacht excursions, spa treatments, and fine dining. Four of the days are devoted to professional, editorial-style photoshoots, offering attendees the chance to be featured in Divine Women in Business Magazine Issue #1, on our digital platforms, and across sponsor media.

The retreat also builds legacy. Through intimate workshops and empowerment circles, women will gain clarity in their brand, expand their visibility, and leave with tangible media assets that position them for growth. Sponsors are integral, providing both elevated experiences and scholarships through the Sacred Path of SHE certification program, which prepares women to become life-changers. The journey continues into the Spring 2026 launch party of the “She Rises” luxury shoe line, where alumni and partners will reunite for a celebration of empowerment, style, and leadership. This is a hybrid retreat, personal transformation, spiritual awakening, and business empowerment, infused with luxury media experiences and sponsor partnerships that expand each woman’s visibility and brand.

This is an exclusive interview with Xa’Vonni (Emily Correa), Publicist, Luxury Retreat Host & Editor-in-Chief of Divine Women in Business Magazine

What inspired you to create your retreat?

I envisioned this retreat as both a sanctuary and a stage, a place where women can rest, recharge, and also be seen as the powerful leaders they are.

Over the years, I noticed that women entrepreneurs need more than strategy; they need safe spaces to heal, rituals to realign, and platforms to showcase their gifts.

Awaken Your Light was born to merge all three, while also honoring my passion for advocacy offering survivors of trauma and domestic violence pathways to empowerment, visibility, and leadership.

How do you weave ritual, art, or movement into your retreat?

This retreat is designed as a living art piece. Sunrise yoga, sacred dance, and evening manifestation rituals are woven seamlessly with editorial photoshoots, where women step into goddess-inspired styling. Against backdrops of ocean, yachts, and curated fashion, each woman becomes the cover star of her own narrative. Sponsors in beauty, wellness, and fashion amplify this by co-creating experiences that highlight both the women and the brands in unforgettable ways.

What’s one practice or moment that guests always remember?

Guests will soon remember our Element-Themed Photoshoots, which embody earth, water, fire, and air. Styled by our creative team and supported by photographers, MUAs, and fashion partners, these shoots are transformative experiences documented in both personal portfolios and future magazine spreads. It’s not vanity, it’s witnessing themselves reborn. Women often say this was the exact moment they fully believed in their own power.

How do you hold space for vulnerability and growth?

Through a careful balance of structure and softness. Our circles create room for authentic sharing, from breakthroughs to resilience stories, including journeys of healing from trauma or domestic violence. At the same time, sponsors provide nurturing through spa rituals, beauty services, and wellness offerings. Vulnerability is not only welcomed, it is honored, reflected back in images, video, and media coverage that remind each woman she is visible, worthy, and unstoppable.
