A week designed for women to stop, breathe, and reconnect - with yourself, with nature, and with other amazing women - through rest, adventure, reflection and meaningful connection.
A Peek at Paradise
Think: outdoor spa, yoga shala in the trees, jungle views, cozy cabins, waterfall hikes.
Hosted by
Erin BrenhouseÂ
Hi, I’m Erin—a wife, mom to two teenagers, educator, and lifelong believer in the power of women supporting women. I’ve been teaching since 2002 and have spent my career working in female-dominated industries, helping women grow in confidence, skill, and self-belief. These days, my passion is combining two things I love most: travel and helping women choose themselves again. After years of watching so many incredible women push through burnout while putting everyone else first (including myself), I’ve made it my mission to create experiences that encourage rest, connection, adventure, and self-discovery. I believe every woman deserves time to recharge, explore the world, and reconnect with the version of yourself that’s been waiting beneath the responsibilities of everyday life.
