Meet Your Hosts!

Holly Roberson

Retreat Curator + Host

Hello! I’m Holly, your retreat curator, host, and intuitive guide, here to support you every step of the way. My journey started in 2001, holding space through holistic bodywork, immersive retreats, and gatherings. I trained in psycho-structural balancing and therapeutic massage at IPSB, with advanced studies in cellular recall therapy under Joan Wulfsohn. My certifications include Ceremonies for Communities (2015) and Usui Reiki First Degree Practitioner (2021), with plans for further Reiki training.

I launched With Soul Retreats in 2020 after my first retreat in Oahu. Since then, I’ve held transformative retreats in Todos Santos and Oregon. My passion is creating sacred spaces where women can thrive, connect, and recalibrate their souls. I can’t wait to share an unforgettable experience with you!

To secure the best rates, aim to book your international flight at least 60 days before departure, as studies show travelers can save an average of 10% when booking during this window.

What airport should I fly into?
You will fly into the Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), which is the closest airport to the retreat property.

What time should I arrive at the airport?
Please plan to arrive no later than 1 PM on June 18, 2025, so that you can join the group for the retreat’s official start. Transportation will be arranged from the airport, and it’s important to arrive on time to ensure a smooth transition.

Do I need a visa to travel to Baja California?
For most travelers from the United States and Canada, a visa is not required for visits to Baja California of less than 180 days. However, you will need a valid passport. Be sure to check the most current travel requirements for your nationality before booking your flight.

Weather and Packing

What is the average weather like in June?
In June, you can expect warm temperatures, with average daytime highs around 85°F (29°C) and nighttime lows ranging from 59°F to 65°F (15°C to 18°C). The weather is typically sunny, with very little rainfall. Please note that while the house is air-conditioned, the geodesic domes are not, but the ocean breeze will provide natural cooling.

What should I pack for the retreat?
For the retreat, we recommend packing light, comfortable clothing suitable for warm weather, as well as layers for cooler evenings. Baja California’s climate can be warm during the day (around 85°F) and cooler in the evenings (59-65°F), so a light jacket or sweater will be helpful. Don’t forget your swimwear for pool, spa, and potential beach time and comfortable shoes for outings.

Activities and Health

Will there be any group activities or team-building exercises during the retreat?
Yes, while the retreat is designed to allow for relaxation and personal time, there will be group activities, including guided reflection sessions, group meals, and outings where we’ll explore the local area. These activities are intended to build community and support the retreat’s nurturing experience.

What kind of medical care is available in Baja California?
The area has medical services available, but it’s always a good idea to have travel insurance that covers medical emergencies. We recommend bringing any personal medications you may need, as well as basic first-aid supplies. There may also be local pharmacies where you can purchase common over-the-counter medications.

Other Considerations

What if I have mobility issues or other special needs?
Please note that this property may not be ideal for individuals with mobility issues or special needs due to its layout. We encourage you to contact us before booking to discuss any concerns and determine if accommodations can be made for your needs.
