I love Ralph Waldo Emerson’s characterization of truth as a process of “unconcealment”—the deliberate practice of awareness achieved through heeding the desires that connect us to our deepest purpose.


As a passionate educator and award-winning teacher, I am devoted to igniting people’s innate love of learning in service of this process of “unconcealment,”of living in and for this potent truth.

Kirstin recently led the most transformative retreat that I have ever been to.  The setting was luscious and the activities were life-force propelling (a Temazcal, cold plunge, and ecstatic dance session, to name just a few), but what set this retreat apart from all others I’ve attended is Kirstin’s leadership and facilitation. Kirstin creates the magic. It is evident in both the environment and the energy that Kirstin spends months, if not years, preparing for her retreat experiences. She provides each participant with a level of safety that allows for deep investigation, release and healing. She authentically and unconditionally loves and cares for each individual and makes each person feel seen. She joyfully facilitates the process of expansion and she celebrates with each soul every step of the way. I knew that I wasn’t happy a year ago, that I put myself last on the list when caretaking. I felt lost. I wasn’t alive. I was sleep-walking through life and turning in the direction that others told me to. Kirstin has helped me re-align to my life force and to my vital essence. I say yes now to pleasure and to what makes me feel alive. I feel like I am me, and I am expressing my unique and vital light in this world!

There is no greater gift I’ve given myself than to be led on a sacred pilgrimage guided by Kirstin. The Path to Eros and Honey was nothing short of an epic journey into the deepest layers of who I am as a human, as a woman. Immersed in the ancient lands of Delphi and Crete while being dipped in the way of bees and their medicinal, luscious honey, I found myself stripped of all external influences, face-to-face with the pure essence of why I exist, my calling to myself, and my service to community. Experiencing Kirstin’s personal knowing, her extraordinary devotion, and her unwavering strength in guiding others to their inner truth was profoundly moving. Her commitment to her own paths of devotion and service is palpable and inspiring, making the entire experience both transformative, gratifying, and pure fun.

I went to one of Kirstin’s women’s retreats and was honestly blown away by her skillset. I gained so much that I could not stop thinking about it; the guidance and coaching were truly unimaginable. My connection with the group was one of the greatest forms of support I have ever had outside of my friends and family. I can honestly say that my work with Kirstin has improved my life in ways I cannot explain, and I will be eternally grateful for the skills I’ve developed, the perspective I’ve created, and the abundance of joy and responsibility I feel empowered to carry forth.

Attending Kirstin’s retreat at Onze Xphua was deeply transformational. I experienced a spiritual awakening—a profound connection with both myself and my ancestors. I tapped into a deep knowing that felt like ancient truth. Kirstin held space with grace and strength, keeping us grounded while guiding us through powerful experiences that brought healing to parts that once felt heavy and uncertain. I am forever grateful for our time together, and for Kirstin’s intentional retreats that bring women into authenticity and embodiment.  Since the retreat, I know how to come back to my senses—how to truly listen to my body—and that has become my compass in life. I left a job that I’d outgrown, launched my own business, and continue to integrate the daily practices we explored together. If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain about your path, carrying emotional weight, or simply curious about reconnecting to your body’s wisdom, attending one of Kirstin’s retreats is a beautiful and powerful step!

Kirstin’s Sex Retreat was A-MAZ-ING! I feel more deeply embodied than I remember,being since I was little. How is it possible that in so short a time I feel this anchored in my body: humming, glowing, golden, and full of pleasure!? I am even dreaming again! The retreat was magical. Kirstin created a powerful sense of safety, welcoming everything—our joy, pain, and resistance—while facilitating transformation. It’s been almost a month of working full time since the retreat and navigating the craziness of the world, and I continue to vibrate at a new and unexpected frequency. I can feel myself moving into my head and am able to come back down into my body. I feel connected to myself in a deep way. I am so excited with my newfound level of self-acceptance! I wish I could share it with everyone!

Kirstin is incredibly seasoned at walking women through transformative experiences.  I have been so lucky to experience two retreats led by Kirstin, and have witnessed her gift of recognition and how she honors each person on their path. Each time I speak with Kirstin, she intuitively meets me where I am, guides me forward, and supports the embodiment of my authentic self with her deep presence and devotion to healing. She is gifted at designing each retreat with artful intention, tapping into poetic and profound teachings, insights, and reflections, and holds us as we step back into reality. She facilitates these journeys with a graceful yet immense capacity, while playful and full of light. I am deeply grateful for Kirstin!

The Sex Retreat with Kirstin at Onze Xphua was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. Kirstin put so much time, attention, heart, and soul into the little details. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, loved, and open to the deep transformations I had been craving. The ceremonies, connection, and invitation to open up were so powerful, and I left feeling uplifted, edified, clear, and fully connected to my purpose for sacred contribution in this world. Thank you, Kirstin!

I don’t even have words for Kirstin’s Ignite Your Inner Light Retreat. I pulled into the parking lot having no idea what to expect—scared, to be honest—but knowing I needed something. And I left feeling like a weight had been lifted off my soul. I’d been deeply seen and heard. And then, to declare out loud at the end of the retreat what my true path is and always has been—I’ve never been able to do so this clearly. To be wholly and joyfully accepted for it, without judgment, by a group of 20 other women … was truly unexpected. I cannot express how much this retreat freed me; I learned that I do have the power to break cycles and patterns and guide myself on a much better path. I cannot thank Kirstin enough.

The Wild and Free retreat was amazing! I felt so taken care of—it was as if every detail was catered to me.  As a single mom and a business owner, I have to find ways to take good care of myself; this retreat was perfect. I was able to completely let go and feel light and carefree--something I can’t remember doing... maybe ever! I felt so supported in the important changes I’m making in my life. Kirstin gave special attention to every detail and it MADE the experience. Thank you for such a nourishing and uplifting retreat!  The impact of those three days on my everyday life continues to amaze me. If any part of you feels called to join one of Kirstin’s retreats—don’t think twice, it will be one of the best decisions you’ll make!
