About the Retreat

Self-Love Pole is so excited to welcome you to this unique and sacred retreat, designed to harness radical self-love, held this year in the enchanting high desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Our gathering last year in Joshua Tree was nothing short of magical - filled with connection, laughter, tears, movement, and love for ourselves and one another. In 2026, we return to the desert with even more intention, creativity, and care.

This year’s theme, “Aligned: A Journey to Radical Self-Love,” invites you to embark on an embodied exploration of the seven chakras, from root to crown. Throughout the weekend, you’ll be invited into movement and creative practices that nurture connection, build confidence, and foster expansion of your true and authentic sense of self.

This retreat is about community, not skill level. All bodies, identities, and experiences are welcome. Come as you are and leave feeling aligned.

💫 This year’s retreat features:

  • A thoughtfully curated journey through the chakras designed to bring you into deeper alignment with radical self-love

  • A welcome guide and swag bag

  • A slack channel for retreat communication and connection with other participants

  • Three nights to allow for deep connection, integration, and restoration

  • Eight delicious meals prepared by a personal chef

  • Two specialty pole workshops - no previous experience necessary!

  • Three unique movement and creative expression sessions

  • An opening circle with a sound bath and meditation

  • A closing integration circle

  • Two group excursions exploring the beauty and history of New Mexico

  • Transportation to and from Albuquerque International Airport and to and from excursions

  • A restorative visit to a local spa with ancient mineral waters

  • Shared and private accommodation options in a large estate home

  • Photography sessions to capture the essence of your heart and soul

  • Optional pre event Zoom call to deepen community connection

✨ Accessibility is important! A limited number of partial scholarships will be available to those experiencing financial difficulty. Click here to apply for a partial scholarship.

There’s a reason artists, seekers, and healers have long gathered in Santa Fe. The land is medicine for the soul and a perfect backdrop for deepening radical self-love.

We love our sponsors!
