JOURNEY home to your TRUE ESSENCE

80% of our participants return for multiple retreat experiences…

“The essence words that come to mind when I think about my experience of Michelle’s gifts are: relentless pursuit of Divine inspiration and connection, curator of transformational experiences, courageous truth speaker, and channel for Divine love and wisdom.” — Dr. Cheri

If you've been feeling the weight of the world, trying to be everything for everyone, or you just know you need to step into your mission more deeply…

NOW IS YOUR TIME TO RETURN TO YOUR INTRINSIC NATURE

You deserve a nurturing retreat experience to connect with your Divine inner child and essence of your soul in true community…

This is your invitation to step into deeper self love, confident ease, and heart centered connection…

The fact that you're reading this page is no small thing. It means you're on the path of awakening and that you’ve been doing your soul-deep work (even if it doesn't always feel like it). 

Whether you've just started seeking or you've been on this path for a while… you're ready to go so much deeper and increase your capacity to love your whole self. And you know that loving yourself and life with every fiber of your being is essential to your purpose on the planet.

You also know deep down that greater potential and possibility are available to you. You're tired of watching your old patterns play out, tired of having your boundaries tested, tired of feeling alone, and maybe you're also just plain tired of being tired. 

It's time to hit pause on feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and like you have to hold up every single spinning plate all by your lonesome.

You're ready to leave burnout behind and move forward with an open heart and calm nervous system. You really want to love yourself – all parts of yourself and live ignited in that state. Create from that state. Influencing instead of letting everything influence you. So you can step into the flow that up until now you've only been catching in glimpses.

But how do you put those desires into action?

Is it really possible to live from an embodied, empowered, highly aligned state, listening to the messages from your true self?

Fully trusting that everything is unfolding perfectly, and that you are exactly where you're meant to be… as you answer the highest call of your soul?

Whether burnout is at your back, you feel like you're on the precipice of a major shift in your work, or you want to show up in every aspect of your life with a whole lot more presence and ease, you're ready for a soul-led immersion.

The truth is: you are powerful beyond measure, and you know you're ready to return to your deepest sense of self – so that you can move from that authentic place in all the ways.

You can live by your highest vision, activate your highest expression, step into the highest calling of your soul.

In order to become? We have to allow ourselves to BE. 

To surrender some of the patterns you've been holding onto in service of the aliveness that comes from slowing all the way down, aligning with your mission by accessing your gifts, and loving all parts of yourself. That's where the Soul Essence Retreat comes in. 

The combination of you showing up as yourself, being seen by other like-hearted women, and feeling fully supported creates a magical alchemy – growth with support, action with ease, nourishment with new energy and fresh ideas.

You'll embody what it means to stand strong in your unique soul essence as you're held by fellow amazing women growing right by your side.

YOUR HIGHEST CALLING in LOVE & JOY is JUST AROUND THE CORNER…

Here's what happens inside this soulful immersion:

Cristina’s reflection is a gift to receive…

“Michelle’s a facilitator, holder, and opener of healing, sacred spaces. She makes room for people to show up as they are and hold sight of who she knows they are in their heart while working through old patterns that no longer serve.” — Cristina

Michelle Sorro

Transformation mentor + spiritual guide

A note from Michelle

Let me share a little about myself…

Former TV retail host with $222 million in live sales turned 7-figure transformation mentor and host of the podcast, Fire and Soul — I’ve helped thousands of bright souls make the impact of their dreams and generate over $20M in revenue.

My clients include globally known celebrities and brands, Olympic athletes, and a U.S. presidential candidate — and high profile collaborations with Dave Asprey, Jack Canfield, and Tony Robbins.

I’m humbled by these extraordinary opportunities to serve so many yet with the radical shifts in the world the past few years, I’ve come to know that…

The journey inward is the highest calling.

After experiencing a profound awakening that dropped me to my knees in 2021, I bring a conscious and compassionate capacity to hold these deeply impactful women’s retreats.

The process of shedding the labels and peeling away the layers on the path of healing in my own life continues to provide me with a deep understanding of the importance of self-discovery, self-trust and self-love.

And I’ve found that walking this path, in this way, is far more meaningful in shared connection with like-hearted community as I truly believe…

“We are all just walking each other home” — Ram Dass

This is a sacred space to be yourself. You can show up as the version of you that you most love to be, and you'll still be held for the totality of you (messy parts included).

This is a space to redefine and remember yourself, with women who are here to lift you up, elevate you, and grow by your side. 

A special thing happens when conscious women who are walking this path gather together in true community.

Because when one woman ignites her soul’s gifts … she creates a path of limitless possibility for all women.

REDEFINE FEMALE FRIENDSHIP

Dedicating time with heart centered and growth-minded women nourishes some of the deepest parts of us.

The women that Soul Essence attracts and the depth we are able to create together in being who we truly are and letting ourselves be seen and heard in our full capacity is boundless.

If you've been wondering what authentic connection really means, you're in the right place.

Ellen’s words touch our heart…

“The Soul Essence Retreat changed my life for the better. I worked through many fears, including the fear to even go, to be there with women I barely knew, and have new experiences I could only imagine before this weekend. These experiences were empowering, supportive, loving, and elevated my consciousness with a new thirst and hunger to go deeper..” — Ellen C.

The Soul Essence Retreat is in alignment if any of the below are true for you…

  • You're seeking a deeper connection to your truth, personally and/or professionally

  • You've been feeling disconnected, overtired, like you have too many responsibilities. You'll be able to return to your radiance so you can move forward with more ease and joy

  • You're already on the path to change, transform, grow, expand and evolve — and you want to actually integrate the great work that you've been doing

  • You're just starting to awaken spiritually and want your life to align with your highest inspiration

  • You'd love to reset and truly nourish your mind, heart and nervous system

  • You long to feel more clear about your mission and have your outward work reflect your soul’s essence

  • You know you need to practice the art of sacred self care

  • You're ready to meet other like-hearted women who can grow by your side 

  • You can't wait to relax in the magic of Texas Hill Country and feel more vibrantly you as you have fun with women who truly see you

  • You're feeling the call within (the energetic transmission of this retreat is real)

Does the above sound like you?

GIFT YOURSELF THE SOUL ESSENCE RETREAT
