There is a part of you that knows how to be still.

It longs for quiet mornings, unrushed breaths, and the feeling of being deeply present — not for anyone else, but for yourself. In a world that constantly pulls your attention outward, this is your chance to return inward.

This retreat is a sacred pause — a break from technology, urgency, and noise. A space where your nervous system can exhale, and your body can lead. Through movement, nature, stillness, and connection, you’ll remember what it feels like to truly be alive and at peace.

You don’t need to earn rest. You don’t have to fix yourself. You only need to return. This gathering is your invitation to do just that — to return to the self beneath the stress, the roles, and the pressure — and remember that who you are is enough

The retreat will take place in the magical Latin American island of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico means ‘Rich Port’, and it is exactly that - richening, nurturing, and enlightening. I have experienced some of the biggest inner transformations on this island, as have many others. It carries an energy and frequency of love, resilience, and renewal.

Puerto Rico is one of the most ecologically diverse places in the Caribbean, with over 60% of the island covered in mountains, forests, and rivers. You can feel this richness all around you — in the mountains, rivers, forests, and nearby ocean. A large portion of our healing occurs in nature, and a large part of me has healed here. This is why I couldn’t imagine hosting this retreat in any other place.

 Jillian Stella

As a somatic facilitator who has facilitated many events, including at TikTok headquarters, Jillian hosts sacred spaces for executives, leaders, and businesswomen to transform on the yoga mat through sound, breathwork, and body movements.

Jillian's love for somatic healing grew while she was losing her Mom to cancer. It was a turning point in her young adult life and she fixated on her spirituality to navigate through the grief. Losing her Mom was quite literally like losing a part of herself. The only way she could begin to identify as Jillian rather than solely Jillian, daughter of Elona, and fully move through her pain was through all of the work she did on her mat. She found her intuition on the mat. She discovered her voice, her message, and her power on the mat.

Today, Jillian utilizes decades of wisdom as a guiding healer in the somatics world. She is grief & trauma-sensitive with deep knowledge in alignment. Her yoga lineage of training stems from the late Maty Ezraty at Yoga Works and is a blend of Hatha and Iyengar. In addition to facilitating yoga, sound, breathwork, and reiki, Jillian is also an intuitive mentor specializing in life purpose, transformational trauma, and neuro-linguistic programming.
