Women’s Retreat
Fall 2026
November 16-20th
Led by
April Lambatos
& Jane Bauer
April Lambatos and Jane Bauer have come together to create a one-of-a-kind retreat experience designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Pacific coast in Huatulco, Mexico, this oceanfront 5-day, 4-night retreat blends transformational leadership, wellness, movement, healing, and connection to help women return home feeling relaxed, restored, confident, and inspired to Make It Better Everyday.
April Lambatos is the visionary entrepreneur behind the award-winning Footers Catering in Denver, Colorado, Social Capitol Event Venue, and MIBE Leadership Development. As a successful business owner, speaker, and expert in heart-centered leadership, April is passionate about helping people lead authentically, dream boldly, and create meaningful impact in both their personal and professional lives. Through transformational workshops and intentional conversations, she empowers women to step into their fullest potential with confidence, courage, and purpose.
Jane Bauer brings a deeply grounding and nourishing presence to the retreat experience. A yoga instructor since 2006, seasoned holistic chef, restaurant owner, and cooking school instructor based in Huatulco, Mexico, Jane has dedicated her life to wellness, mindful living, and the healing power of food and movement. Her approach combines yoga, meditation, breath work, and locally sourced gourmet cuisine to create experiences that reconnect people to themselves, nature, and the present moment.
Together, April and Jane create a powerful balance of inspiration and restoration — combining transformational leadership and personal growth with wellness, embodiment, nourishment, and deep connection. Their shared passion for authentic living, community, and holistic well-being creates a retreat experience that supports women in slowing down, reconnecting with themselves, building meaningful relationships, and returning home renewed from the inside out.
Who is this for?
This deeply restorative women’s retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and experience profound healing and transformation in a nurturing and beautiful environment. Created for heart-led women, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are craving deeper connection with themselves and others, this retreat offers space to rest, reflect, and realign. Through daily yoga and meditation, embodiment and healing workshops, nourishing locally sourced meals, and immersive experiences in nature (including waterfalls, rivers, and beaches), attendees will cultivate inner peace, authentic community, and renewed clarity. Surrounded by like-hearted women and supported in mind, body, and spirit, participants will leave feeling grounded, empowered, and reconnected to the woman they truly are.
