The #1 Travel Destination in the World, as Voted by Condé Nast Traveler

Feb 5-11, 2024



Join me, and an intimate group of small business owners, on a visually stunning journey to San Miguel de Allende that will leave you rejuvenated and inspired!

The Sweet Spot Style Business Retreat is designed specifically for entrepreneurial women who are eager to upgrade their business and lifeSTYLE.

You’ll have time away from daily life to devote to the next iteration of your business. You’ll learn advanced strategies to grow your audience and your profit. Walk away with clear inspired action steps + a six month plan.  

You get what you focus on. If you want to live a more meaningful, prosperous and fulfilled life, the best way to attract those things into your life is to start experiencing them first hand.

When you put yourself in an inspiring environment, you feel more inspired. When you surround yourself with positive, ambitious and smart women, you start to feel more positive, ambitious and smart.

Our days will include a balanced mix of scheduled Sweet Spot Style prompts and workshops, as well as plenty of time to process, rest, play and explore this culturally vibrant city.

 

Imagine uninterrupted time to map out your desires, reflect on what’s important to you, and have input from other smart, ambitious, like-minded women

 

Focus
This retreat is designed to help you step away from all the distractions in life in order to have inspired time to dream and plan for your business. Our Sweet Spot Style Workshops will prompt you to think deeper, explore and define your values so you can walk away feeling clear and focus on what matters most.

Content Creation
Get ready for some major content creation for your social media channels, blog or newsletter. This town is full of gorgeous design and we are gonna capture it together. With an audience of 32k on the gram, I've used IG as a tool to attract my ideal client and then capture my most intimate community on my email list where we talk life and business. In this workshop, you’ll learn how.

Get Featured
No matter your business, we all need visibility in this crowded market. In this workshop, we’ll pinpoint the best tools to leverage your expertise to get you in front of your ideal clients through digital marketing and PR. I’ll share my strategy on how to get featured on your fav podcasts and magazines in order to gain visibility and elevate your brand.

Creative Time

Nothing helps you clear your mind like creating something with your own two hands. In this creative workshop, led by a local artisan, we’ll design and create our own unique wall hanging. A visual reminder of your time here in San Miguel.

Supportive & Empowering

Desha was a great facilitator. She helped me through a process that allowed me to get my thoughts and desires in order. Being with this group of women felt so supportive and empowering. This week has given me focus and a clear action plan that I can’t wait to implement. In fact, I’ve already got my next interior style workshop planned out! I would definitely recommend this retreat. I’ve already signed up to come back next year!

About San Miguel

San Miguel de Allende is a stunning colonial town in central Mexico that is rated by Conde Nast as the #1 travel destination in the world! Writers, artists and other creatives come here to be inspired by the culture, vibrant colors and spring-like weather.

This retreat is the perfect place to allow yourself to attract your aspirational lifeSTYLE. Meander through the cobblestone streets filled with lush courtyards beyond beautifully adorned doors, allow yourself to melt away watching the sunset on our private rooftop terrace and feel the energy pulsating through one of Mexico’s most charming towns.

 

Retreat House


The retreat house. The space in which we hold retreat is a BIG part of how I take you on an aspirational journey. Each time I hold retreat, I wait until a space speaks to me, sometimes knocking me over the head with a message or feeling. This house is special because of it’s intentional design and prime location.

Lovely. Supportive. Friends.

I had so many ideas for pursuing a creative lifestyle but found I was moving around in circles and not working out where to focus my time and energy. Going to Mexico and working with Desha in such an inspiring and beautiful environment as San Miguel, with like minded women, was so liberating to say the least!  I went home with an abundance of energy and clarification on my direction in moving forward and a new group of lovely supportive friends.

Exceeded Our Expectations


This retreat exceeded all of our expectations which were huge considering that last year was perfect! Desha, you are a brilliant facilitator because you feel into the needs of the group in a masterful way. Going with the flow makes it work. We would definitely recommend this retreat to our biz buddies because we are leaving feeling revitalized, energized, clear, and totally inspired to take action. We are feeling the charge!

I Gained Clarity

I’ve put a lot of focus on mindset and action and feel more balanced in that way now than ever. I’m moving forward with more confidence, determination and momentum than I’ve had in a long time.

About your retreat leader

Hi! I’m Desha. It’s pronounced like Deh-SHAY.

I work with multi-passionate, creative entrepreneurs, artists, designers, coaches, and all kinds of smart, ambitious women. They seek to creatively express their brand so they can reach their ideal customer, make more money, and create the biz + lifeSTYLE they crave. Does that sound like you?

I’ve travelled the globe, but keep going back to San Miguel de Allende because it captured my heart from day one. I’ve led 12 retreats there to date.

Wanting my daughter to experience life abroad, I pulled her out of school twice to live in SM with me. Once for a month & once for six months. I know this place & can’t wait to show you around!

Desha is my secret weapon.


I’m so grateful for this experience. It’s taught me a ton about being an artist in business, introduced me to some amazing women and bonded me tighter with the ones I already knew. If you don’t follow Desha, I suggest you do, so you can learn about the retreat next year + learn from the content that she creates year round. She has been instrumental in helping me to grow Tulusa and keeping me focused and on track. Feeling incredibly full of heart right now.
