The Sacred Valley, Peru
JUNE 20 – 26, 2027
Intro video
Watch to discover a women’s retreat for ancestral wisdom and transformation.
Where travel meets transformation
At Dharma Retreats, we believe travel can be more than seeing beautiful places.
The right destination, the right people, and the right experiences can create space to see your life differently — to reconnect with yourself, discover something new, and return home with a fresh perspective.
The Golden Path Retreat brings that philosophy to Peru through a beautiful balance of wellness, exploration, ancestral connection, and personal time.
Our home base in the Sacred Valley gives us a place to return to between adventures, while the journey itself takes us into some of Peru’s most extraordinary landscapes and ancient sites.
Rather than filling every day from morning until night, we intentionally leave room to breathe.
You may begin your morning with movement and meditation, explore an ancient site, share a beautiful meal surrounded by nature, and still have time to rest, journal, connect, or simply take in the mountains.
The result is a journey that feels rich without feeling rushed.
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
- Lao Tzu
Follow the golden path
There are journeys that take you somewhere new.
And then there are journeys that invite you to see yourself, your life, and what comes next from a different perspective.
Set among the mountains, ancient landscapes, and timeless traditions of Peru’s Sacred Valley, The Golden Path Retreat is a seven-day journey created for women ready to step away from everyday life, reconnect with themselves, and experience Peru through a deeper lens.
Together, we’ll explore some of the most extraordinary places in the Sacred Valley and beyond, while weaving in movement, meditation, breathwork, sound, ancestral ceremonies, fire, reflection, and spacious time to simply be.
We’ll travel to Machu Picchu for the Summer Solstice, walk through the ancient landscapes of Pisac, Moray, and Ollantaytambo, connect with the traditions of the Andes, and return each day to our retreat environment to rest and integrate.
This is a carefully paced journey where wellness and exploration move together.
Some days take you into the mountains. Some invite you to slow down and go inward. And throughout the journey, there is space to experience Peru rather than simply pass through it.
A time to explore.
A time to reconnect.
A time to honor what has been.
And a time to step toward what comes next.
A GLIMPSE INTO YOUR JOURNEY
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR
No previous experience with wellness practices is needed.
More than a trip, this is your invitation to discover Peru, connect with incredible women, and make space for what’s next.
Meet Your host
Gina is the Founder of Dharma Retreats, a retreat creator, holistic wellness practitioner, and luxury travel advisor who brings together transformational experiences, meaningful travel, and community for women around the world.
A lifelong traveler and passionate creator of immersive experiences, Gina draws from her work in meditation, breathwork, sound healing, energy healing, EFT tapping, guided visualization, and ceremonial practices to create retreats that invite women to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and experience the world in a deeper way.
