When Women Come together to heal, the entire world receives healing.
The power of uniting the feminine together expands to realms and dimensions beyond our conscious awareness. The intentions, prayers and healing are not just magnified on an individual level or within the group level. It is amplified on a collective level. The magic effortlessly ripples into generations of our ancestors, activates healing for the collective consciousness of humanity and in turn, heals our planet, nourishing our great mother earth.

Meet Your Guides
Sydney Foltz
Retreat organizer, Trauma Informed Breathwork Facilitator, Feminine Embodiment Leader, Medicine & Integration Support.
Hello My love!
I will be your guide during our incredible week together.
A little about my story: About five years ago, I reached a point of ultimate burnout in my life. I was an actress and comedian living in Chicago, working multiple day jobs, going on countless auditions, pouring all my free time into big projects because I thought this was the way to survive and make “ends meet.” I had no time or space to truly live. “There is no way this could be my life…there has to be more than this.”
After realizing that I didn’t want to live like this anymore, I got invited to sit a dieta with Shipibo Meastro’s deep in the Amazon of Peru working with the medicine of Ayahausca. Little did I know, the work I would do with the medicine was going to act as a catalyst for the greatest era of expansion and freedom of my life.
I came back from this experience a completely different woman with the innate knowing my true life purpose was to live, grow and heal alongside mother earth. So, I took the greatest leap I could have ever imagined. I quit all my jobs, left my agency, my podcast I had produced with friends, sold all my belongings, broke up with my partner, moved to Costa Rica and dove head first into the great unknown with absolutely no plan.
I never imagine my life would unfold in the way it did.
Since that moment four years ago, I have dedicated my path to deepening my devotion to the medicine of plants. I’ve been expanding, growing, exploring and training in different healing modalities and medicines from all over the world. I have had extensive training in Shamanic Reiki, Sacred Feminine Alchemy with the lineage of the Rose, and Trauma-Informed Breathwork facilitation.
It is my mission to bring women together and hold a safe, loving and intentional space where ALL aspects of your feminine is welcome. Here you are safe to unravel and re-wild into your most authentic expression. You are invited to take off your masks, drop the armor, leave all expectations at the door and come ready to surrender to the magic and expansive that lives within you.
I’ve been living in the Sacred Valley of Peru for almost a year now, and I am not the same woman I was when I arrived on these lands. To paint the picture, the Sacred Valley is surrounded by Apus, which is Quechua term for mountains with lagoons - known to be portals directly to the heavens. These lands have changed my life in the most impactful and incredible ways unlike any other place on earth, and I’m excited for you to experience their profound magic.
This women’s retreat was birthed in deep ceremony and prayer from the depths of my heart. Every detail has been carefully curated with the intention to provide you with a truly transformative experience for the collective group of sisters as a whole.
Everyone involved is in high integrity with this work and has been a special part of my own healing here in Peru. I vow with all that I am, you will be divinely taken care in this space as you activate the divine remembrance of who you truly are.
Avalon Roza
Sound Healer & Huachuma Facilitator
Avalon holds a lot of integrity, embodiment and humility as a medicine woman. Her dedication to the plants is beyond inspiring. She has been working, supporting and sitting with different medicines, mainly Ayahuasca and Huachuma for the past 9 years. You can see the moment the ceremony opens the deep level of mutual respect and honor she and the plants have with each other. She learned how to serve Huachuma with a Peruvian family, who have been holding ceremonies for many years. She has held countless retreats, medicine and diet space with her teachers for the past 9 years. One of her teachers being Nacho, a well respected Ayahuasca Facilitator here in Peru, who she has worked alongside for 7 years. She has spent 2 years in solitude sitting 16 different diets - 4 of which were with the Rose. Others plants include: Piñon Colorado, Noya Rao, Bobinsana, Tobacco, Renaquilla, Ajo Sacha, Bolquiero, Tamamuri, Shihuahuaco, Sequoia, and Oak. All of the plants she has sat with are her allies and she welcomes these plants into the ceremony to help hold, guide and protect the space.
Additionally, Avalon is a licensed healing touch practitioner and before medicine work, focused this practice with the elderly. She worked at a skilled nursing facility where she administered healing touch to support the transition of the souls of the dying. She is also a vibrational sound therapist and works with the healing power of sound to help people navigate stress, anxiety and restore harmony within the body. She is a Light language practitioner, she sings and speaks in different tongues to support people's individual prayers, helping people release what they are looking to let go of and bringing what they want to manifest. Her soul mission is to empower people with her voice, especially women.
I have chosen Avalon to be apart of this experience not only because of her years of experience with medicine & women’s work, the impeccable safe space she creates, her skills in supporting people one on one when needed. She holds a lot of wisdom, knowledge and education with the spirit of Rose and Huachuma. She has extensively dieted and worked with the spirit of the Rose and incorporates the teachings, wisdom and blessings of the rose with her offerings.

Huachuma is a native, indigenous psychedelic medicine home to the high Andes of Peru, It is a gift to be able to work with this medicine in its home. This spirit has a gentle power and is known to bring you out of the mind and into the depths of the heart to awaken your power, your purpose and experience deep levels of compassion, self forgiveness, unconditional love and oneness with Pachamama.
Huachuma helps you dive into your emotions, heal traumas and show the powerful teaching these wounds have for us.

They carry with them the wisdom of compassion, forgiveness, and bring you into deeper balance with the truth of your soul and the wisdom of mother earth.

Sydney’s energy and space was so safe allowing me to express to my full capacity without holding back anything as well as the space held for integration and any further support was also welcome and there if needed. Sydney is very intuitive with what she believes the best method is for you depending on where you’re at in your journey and what she feels the earth calling in for you! I would highly recommend working with Sydney and receive her softness, love and open heart!

I highly recommend Sydney! I am new to this form of healing. I was intrigued by using my own body and breath as a resource to heal deep wounds. I felt confident in her knowledge, her experience, her years of training and her spirit. I had no idea what to expect but I was open. The power of my breath guided safely by Sydney I cannot put into words. I went beyond what was in my conscious mind for the first time and released so much. Sydney is gentle, understanding and held space for me. I feel lighter, stronger, and everyday I notice a positive change. I can't wait for my next session! She is a gem!

I’ve been doing breath work for years but Sydney’s Shakti breath workshop gave me access to parts of myself like nothing else. Shakti breathwork holds so much potency and magic for transformation, If you want to change your life it starts with your life force.

Care, compassion, and consciousness; Sydney Foltz leads with wisdom while creating room for your own journey to do the rest. Many “experts” boast of creating “safe spaces” without fully understanding what that looks like, namely for people belonging to marginalized identities. Sydney’s aura alone, however, naturally creates an environment conducive to letting one’s guard down. From the moment you meet her, it is clear that she has done her homework. Overall, my experience with Sydney Foltz’s breathwork journey was overwhelmingly positive. I never realized how powerful a process as natural as breathing could be a portal to the unmanifested.
-Sorvina

I can’t imagine anyone better to hold this space for me. Sydney embodies the unbound wild divine sacred feminine in a way that makes the most sense for this generation and today's issues. She is unapologetically herself, ALWAYS. having her to guide me, spiritually holding my hand through this process of expanding and releasing was without a doubt perfectly orchestrated by Source. As I continue on this journey of unleashing and fully living, Sydney and the Dragon Shakti Breath method helped me burn away another layer of hurt, doubt, shame, and something else I can’t quite name.
- Natasha
-
My breathwork sessions with Sydney were life-changing, and that is not an overstatement. Her attention to detail of the physical space and the energetic container were what allowed me to be fully present in the experience and therefore gain the best results.

Sydney is a beautiful soul, incredible facilitator, that will help you to come back home to yourself.
-Ola

My womb space felt expansive and warm. I’ve noticed a heightened state of mental clarity since the session, as well as some emotional stickiness being released. I am certainly more connected to my sexual energy and creative fire which feels amazing. I plan on working with Syd many more times in the future—she is absolutely living her soul’s purpose with this healing work of the breath.
