A beautiful balance of creativity, adventure, connection and relaxation — with plenty of time to rest, reflect and just be.

Your home for the week
We'll be staying at The Baya House, right in Santa Teresa — a beautiful, peaceful hideaway surrounded by tropical gardens, just moments from the ocean.
Colourful apartments and studios, private bathrooms and a shared pool at the heart of the property. Apartments have their own kitchens and patios; studios open onto a shared poolside patio.

Your host
Meet Lori
Lori Burke is an artist, bestselling Amazon co-author and retreat facilitator whose own journey — her art, her writing, her love of the ocean, and everything she's learned about beginning again — grew into Phoenix Rising.
A bestselling Amazon co-author of Pursuit 365, Lori brings her art and writing into the connections she creates through WINGS.
She won't simply be hosting this retreat — she'll be sharing the experience right alongside you.
Phoenix Rising grew from the same season of Lori's life as her memoir, Wings After 50 — the book tells how she began again, and the retreat is the week she now builds around that same question.

A few moments with Lori
"I've spent a lifetime learning how to begin again — on canvas, on the page, and in my own life. Phoenix Rising is that lesson, shared with a small circle of women over seven sunsets in Santa Teresa."
