FEBRUARY 18-21, 2027 · AUTOCAMP JOSHUA TREE

Joshua Tree

Women’s Retreat

There is room for every part of you.

Four days of movement, stillness, adventure, and connection with Jill Rooks and Coach D in the Joshua Tree desert.

A $500 deposit reserves your place.

THE WHY

You don’t need to become someone else.

You need room to hear yourself again.

Life can get loud. The people who count on you, the pace you keep, the roles you carry – sometimes they leave little room to hear what you want.

For a few days, we step outside that noise. We move, rest, explore, talk, and sit beneath the desert sky. The invitation is to reconnect with the strength, wisdom, and value already yours.

Quiet and fire. Strength and softness.

You can make room for both, in your own way.

JILL ROOKS + COACH D

Different energies.

The same intention.

After co-leading a retreat in Tulum in April 2026, Jill Rooks and Coach D knew they wanted to lead women together again.

Their friendship and shared values are the foundation. Their different energies are part of what makes the experience work.

Jill brings a grounded, calming presence. Coach D brings bold, activating energy. Together, they make room for quiet reflection, movement, honest conversation, and laughter.

They share a simple belief: the strength and wisdom you’re looking for are already within you.

Is this you?

You spend so much time taking care of everyone else that it’s hard to find space for yourself.

You’re navigating a change – or simply wondering, “What do I want now?”

You’re craving time to move, breathe, explore, and connect with women who are asking their own questions.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to come.

THE EXPERIENCE

Four days. Room to breathe.

Movement, adventure, and time together – with space to make the days your own.

WHAT YOU TAKE HOME

Something to

carry home.

The invitation is to return to everyday life with a clearer sense of what matters to you – and room to act on it.

Time to hear what you want.

Space to notice what matters now, beyond the roles and routines that fill your days.

Confidence in your own voice.

Practice listening to yourself and putting words to what you need.

Connection you can return to.

Shared conversations and experiences with women you can keep in touch with after the retreat.

THE SETTING

Your own space.

A place to come together.

IMG 5526

Your own space. A place to come together.

Our home for these four days is AutoCamp Joshua Tree – Airstream suites, open desert, and places to gather beneath a wide sky.

Each Airstream has a queen bed, a sofa that folds into a double bed, heating and air conditioning, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. A kitchenette with a mini fridge and microwave makes it easy to settle in between retreat sessions.

Choose an Airstream to yourself or a shared stay with separate sleeping spaces—one queen bed and one foldout double bed. The clubhouse and outdoor gathering spaces bring us together for meals and conversation, while your Airstream gives you a place to unwind.

We’ll venture into Joshua Tree National Park and visit the Integratron for a sound bath, then return to our own corner of the desert.
