Does this sound like you?
You've lost your zest.
You're tired of wearing a positive smile while secretly feeling disconnected from your own life, your purpose, and your joy.
You feel like a fish out of water.
You love your life but you're craving something deeper, truer, and more anchored. A connection to who you really are.
Your inner voice is whispering that there's more.
You know that if you don't change something now, you'll stay stuck in the same loop. You're ready to choose courage over comfort.
"If you are tired of living in the comfortable stream of daily life while your heart is secretly starving for more… welcome home."
Your Days in St. Croix Will Be Filled With…
-
Each day begins with meditation to anchor your mind and a movement practice to unwind and release what no longer serves.
-
Beach walks, swimming, snorkeling, hiking, and biking along the stunning St. Croix coastline.
-
A plant-based cooking class led by Feather Leaf's Chef Niki, plus a special art class with a local island artist.
-
Allow the tranquil beauty of St. Croix to help you unwind and relax into presence and rediscover what brings you joy.
-
Gentle, nourishing practices to close each day and settle your nervous system.
-
An intentionally small group of women, coming together through play, laughter, and shared experience.
Feather Leaf Inn Eco Hotel
Feather Leaf Inn Eco Hotel is a sanctuary, nestled on the west end of St. Croix. Set on 19 historic acres right on the St. Croix coastline, it weaves together sustainable living, island history, and vibrant Caribbean ecology into a true soul-recharging escape.

Stacey Stone
Hi! I’m Stacey, a personal trainer, movement specialist, and wellness coach with over 20 years of experience helping people deeply connect with their bodies and transform their lives through holistic movement and tools for balancing life and aligning with life purpose.
My journey is rooted in a lifelong fascination with how the body moves, heals, and holds onto joy. I specialize in working with the fascia, nervous system regulation, and functional breathing to help you release deep-seated stress and return home to yourself. I believe that true well-being isn't just physical—it's a state of vibrant ease, deep personal connection, and a resilient spirit that allows you to bounce back from whatever life throws your way.
I am incredibly passionate about helping you shed the layers of daily stress so you can rediscover what it feels like to thrive. I can't wait to help you unlock a profound sense of vitality and create lasting joy at this retreat! (Warning: Side effects may include deep relaxation, spontaneous smiles, and a sudden, overwhelming urge to breathe a massive sigh of relief.)

Shera Elvins
Hi! I’m Shera Elvins, a yoga instructor and Reiki Master with over 15 years of experience helping people transform their lives through movement, energy, and self-discovery.
My journey began as a dancer, where I fell in love with the pure joy of movement. That passion naturally evolved into a life dedicated to helping others create a practice of joy for themselves. To me, true happiness is a state of well-being built on deep connection, a sense of purpose, and positive experiences—the ultimate buffers against the stress of daily life.
I am deeply passionate about helping everyone find peace and meaning, every single day. I can't wait to help you unleash your inner joy at this retreat. (Warning: Side effects may include daily inspiration, random acts of kindness, and breaking out in dance!)
