Goddess Creation Retreat
SOLD OUT!
A desert dream
Explore the unique landscape of mystical Joshua Tree with an intimate group of Goddesses this super bloom while getting in touch with your inner landscape
of beauty and self-love.
From morning Grateful Goddess circles and journaling to daily Gourmet Girl brunches and finally getting crowned for your golden hour portraits, we'll step into our power to be creators and share our magnetic light with the world.
Goddesses will have free time to take desired excursions or simply relax at our stylish boho villa.
Sit out by the pool and even get your portrait and video taken IN the pool, gown on and all (yes, trash the dress)! We'll explore posing, expression, and our WORTH while creating as well as the opportunity to learn how to cut fun reels, edit and optimtize our content at our Goddess Social Hour.
Explore the area with dinners out and enjoy local fare prepared in our Desert Dream Villa by chefs.
Walk away armed with a stunning content package including your own 'music video', wonderful stories to share, and a group of ladies you're bound to have for life!
Goddess Content
Professional portraits in multiple gowns of your choice from my collection. We'll curate your most empowered look or feel free to go formal/casual in your own garments, too.
Option for your a 'pool studio' shoot created in a collabortative vision or bordoir inspired beauty shots in your quarters. Goddesses are asked to be prepared to do their own hair and makeup unless they'd like to arrange a house call.
All ladies receive iphone content along the way!
Meet the Creator
Aydra is a northern California native who has chosen life as a creative artist and entrepreneur. After a decade in LA exploring her passion as a singer/musician and performance artist (while working as Gourmet Girl, a plant-inspired chef), she relocated to Joshua Tree and launched a media creation company, Pink Swan.
Her experience creating portraits and video in the desert has reached thousands of guests with hundreds of 5-star reviews. She extended the model to Tulum, Mexico, and a small Greek Island called Sifnos where she began capturing herself and
others underwater, too.
Last year she birthed her 'Creation Retreat' series, a concept that ties her many passions together which she adores sharing with others, and launched her first two sold-out Goddess Retreats in Tulum.
Thrilled at the response she's extended the retreats to Joshua Tree and beyond in 2023!
Aydra's also a signed model and loves to share the knowledge of comfortability with the
camera with her guests!
Underwater
Dive into the experience of a lifetime and create underwater
photo and video!
As it's not a mandatory part of the retreat, it does come highly recommended by hundreds of guests Aydras had the pleasure to go deep and create with.
Guests may also opt to explore 'boudoir' photography as an alternative. Each Goddess gets crowned Queen for the day and recieves time in both the afternoon and golden hour for her shoot.
Mantra
'As someone who's always walked a spirit-led path, I have firm roots in the power of meditation and specifically in the last
few years, Mantra.
Using traditional Vedic mantras or repetition of affirmations to has profoundly shifted my life and brought many dreams to immediate and astounding fruition. I decided I wanted to share this tool with others so I create a series of ancient chants in my own voice with binaural frequencies. I offer morning Grateful Goddess circles in this retreat container to explore and learn these mantras as a group and give the opportunity for my guests to journal their experience as well as receive the entire 5-mantra pack and bonus breath-work recordings at the end of our time together so as to
continue the process of Goddess Activation.

Aydra is a lovely person, who made us feel very comfortable and made this experience a lot of fun. She is very detailed oriented and does let anything important miss her eye. She fully expressed the beauty of this JT desert as her canvas to bring out the best of her photography! She made this special day simply perfect! Highly recommend!
-Diana, New York, NY
I had such an incredible time at the retreat Aydra put together in Tulum!
Everything was so well-planned and thoughtfully detailed. I LOVED the morning mantra and breathing!
She did an amazing job with the final photo and video work as well as created and safe and insired enviroment, can't wait for Greece!
-Dandy, Napa
Aydra put so much love and care into making this special retreat where I felt safe, had so much fun and reconnected back to myself and sisterhood
Mathilda, Aspen CO
Making images with Aydra, after morning breathwork and reflection, was a unique way to explore myself anew through her spectacular and inspired lens. I could see the bravery in my own eyes in the photography and am proud to have done something which felt a bit out of my comfort zone. I'll be doing the mantras and cherishing the content forever!
-Willow, Catskills, NY
The Creation Retreat was absolutely perfect! From the activities to the meditations and photoshoots, all went smoothly and it was amazing to meet new Goddesses!
