Alma Soberana: A Sovereign Soul Retreat in Samaná, Dominican Republic

Dominican Treehouse Village in Samaná, Dominican Republic. This is a place where ocean meets jungle, where ancestors whisper through the palms, and where your soul embodies its sovereignty. In December, Alma Soberana (Sovereign Soul), my inaugural retreat, will launch! I'm guiding 9 humans through an experience that honors the four elements as portals.

The elements aren't just poetic metaphors; they are liberation technologies that predate colonization.

When we align with earth, water, fire, and air, we remember how power actually moves, how creation happens, how we can lead from our inherent sovereignty rather than from the fragmented, extracted patterns that systems of domination have taught us.

Alma Soberana means reclaiming the sovereign soul that knows itself as whole, connected, and free.

This isn't another wellness retreat promising quick fixes or Instagram moments.

This is ancestral technology meeting modern liberation.

This is Queen Mindset Leadership® in its most embodied form, where the integration of masculine and feminine energies, all five koshas, and the creative model of awakening → liberation → sovereignty becomes lived experience rather than just beautiful theory.

Why This Retreat, Why Now

We live in a time of profound disconnection.

Systems of domination have taught us to fragment ourselves—mind from body, work from spirit, individual success from collective liberation. We've been conditioned to lead from scarcity, urgency, and performance rather than from our inherent creative sovereignty.

The four elements offer us something capitalism cannot commodify: the remembering of how power actually moves, how creation actually happens, how we can lead in harmony with natural cycles.

• Fire teaches us authentic power that burns clean.
• Water shows us how strength moves through flow, not force.
• Earth grounds us in true abundance that nourishes rather than extracts.
• Air connects us to expression that heals rather than performs.

This retreat emerges from a decolonial, afro-feminist lens because liberation cannot happen in isolation.

When we align with elemental wisdom, we're not just healing ourselves—we're becoming living antidotes to systemic harm, portals for others to remember their own sovereignty.

Why Samaná, Why the Dominican Republic

Samaná holds a particular medicine.

This is land that has resisted colonization twice, where authentic Dominican culture lives in the rhythm of daily life.

The peninsula breathes with an untouched beauty—jungle paths leading to hidden beaches, waters that cleanse ancestral wounds while infusing joy.

We'll be staying in the magical Dominican Treehouse Village, where your accommodation is literally nestled in the canopy. If you've ever dreamed of sleeping among the trees, this is for you.

Each treehouse comes with fans for comfort, secure locks for your belongings, and most importantly—no WiFi. While you can access internet for $10 if absolutely necessary, I strongly recommend against it.

This is uninterrupted time with yourself, with nature, with the profound silence that allows your soul to speak.

For me, this represents an ancestral homecoming.

The García lineage calls me back to these Caribbean waters, to this soil that shares my DNA.

When I visited Samaná in June, I felt a piece of my soul reunite with itself.

The land didn't just host me—it recognized me. This retreat is my way of sharing that recognition, that belonging, with humans ready to remember their own indigenous relationship to earth and sea.

The magic begins with the journey itself—the two-hour transport from Santo Domingo to Samaná is healing in its own right, a gradual transition from the busy world into island time, jungle rhythm, ocean breath.

The Elemental Journey: How We'll Spend Our Days

Each day of Alma Soberana explores one element as both a natural force and an inner technology for liberation:

• Day 1: Earth - Rooting Into Sovereignty
  We begin by grounding into the Dominican soil, establishing the foundations of wealth consciousness and sovereign leadership. Earth element work reclaims resourcefulness over extraction, building from what nourishes rather than what depletes.
• Day 2: Water - Flowing Into Creative Power
  By the Caribbean waters, we explore the sacred feminine energy that finds natural paths, dissolves rigid patterns, and nourishes everything it touches. Water teaches us how to integrate emotions as leadership tools rather than obstacles.
• Day 3: Fire - Claiming Authentic Power
  Fire burns away what's inauthentic while creating warmth for others. We work with healthy masculine energy—clear action, boundaries, and the kind of power that transforms through love rather than domination.
• Day 4: Air - Expanding Your Voice & Vision
  Air carries our truth into the world. We explore creative expression that comes from inner knowing rather than external approval, reclaiming our voices as medicine for collective healing.

Our rhythm honors both structure and flow: mornings offer more instructional experiences while afternoons invite embodied practice and integration.

Four hours of facilitation daily, with abundant time for self-reflection, organic community connection, and unstructured communion with the land itself.

This retreat structure emerged from designing my own decolonial approach to my 39th birthday journey to Portugal—a process that taught me how to honor my energy while creating space for deep transformation.

My gift is helping people be with themselves without fear, and this retreat is designed around that medicine.

You'll receive a custom workbook before arrival to begin your elemental reflection and intention setting, transforming the retreat from a weekend getaway into a portal for lasting transformation.

Who This Retreat Calls

Alma Soberana welcomes all humans ready to step into their sovereign souls.

Rooted in afro-feminist and decolonial principles, this space centers liberation, equity, and ancestral wisdom while honoring the full spectrum of identities and experiences.

This retreat is for you if you're ready to:

• Deepen your connection to self and the natural world
• Release patterns of fragmentation and disconnection
• Integrate your full humanity—mind, body, spirit—in your leadership
• Explore what it means to be "undominated within yourself"
• Create from liberated patterns rather than reactive ones
• Join a community of sovereign seekers committed to collective healing

This work requires courage to witness yourself in nature, without the distractions and buffers of modern life.

It's an invitation to design your own days while being held by intentional community—humans who are equally committed to knowing themselves deeply.

Space is limited to nine participants, honoring my birth month and creating the intimate container necessary for this depth of work.

Reflection Questions

• What would it mean to become illegible to systems that have tried to diminish your power?
• Which element calls to you most strongly right now—and what might it be trying to teach you?
• How might your leadership transform if you trusted your inherent sovereignty rather than seeking external validation?

May the fire remind you of your power, the water of your flow, the earth of your roots, and the air of your freedom. Alma Soberana is waiting for you.
