Meet Your Host
In 2013 she founded the School of Sacred Embodiment, where she’s developed a range of healing and liberatory frameworks and modalities that blend together movement, energy work, and mystical wisdom. Her specialty is helping people live through what she calls the highest part of all of us – our Wild Soul.
A native New Yorker with Boricua and mixed-European roots, Elizabeth now calls Miami home, is an avid salsa dancer, and has a laugh that has been described as “a sound bath of sunshine and joy.”

Join us at the CHERISH Retreat to ...
Practice, learn, and embody deeper Self-Love and Body Love + Reverence than you've ever known
Our third day will be our “sensual” excursion day. After breakfast, we’ll travel to the nearby stunning town of Ronda, where you will enjoy either some spa time at the Aguas de Ronda Hammam (traditional Arab baths, wet and dry sauna, and massage included!) OR a traditional white village and olive oil factory tour (olive oil, cheese, and sherry wine tasting included!). Enjoy an optional Wild Soul Movement Fusion class with Elizabeth to wind down in the evening.
Days four and five are dedicated to exploring the pillars of Body Love + Reverence through workshops and a range of embodiment practices: Wild Soul Movement Wisdom, Flow, and Fusion classes, healing meditations, and energetic attunements. We’ll also have plenty of time for reflection, contemplation, and sharing, and we’ll end our retreat with a Flamenco show in Ronda!
Who is CHERISH for?
If you identify with any of the statements below and you’re a 35+ woman, the CHERISH Retreat is for you:
- You have a lot of love and care for yourself, but certain things can still spiral you right out of that.
- You want to feel happy, secure, safe, and even excited about inhabiting your body regardless of it’s shape, size, ability, or age.
- You’d love to have a better relationship with sensuality, pleasure, beauty, and joy.

- You need some help with boundary setting.
- You want to get better at tuning into your intuition and trusting yourself.
- You sometimes (or often) feel like you’re too much or not enough.
- You struggle to allocate time and energy for your own needs, dreams, or desires.

- You would love to spend some time in a community of Wild Souls where you don’t need to perform for anyone and can just relax and be your whole self

MEET YOUR GUEST TEACHERS
Sheehan Ednie-Rosen:
Sheehan has been practicing Wild Soul Movement since 2015 and has been a teacher since 2017. Like so many of us, WSM found Sheehan at the right time, and over the years, it's played a key role in healing her nervous system and helping her find real freedom in her body. Sheehan says, “It is the one movement practice I return to again and again no matter how I'm feeling or what is going on in my life.”
Marjolaine Millette:
Marjolaine has been practicing Wild Soul Movement since 2016 and is currently in her dream job as the Community Manager of the School of Sacred Embodiment. She believes that experiencing deep connection and reverence for our bodies is our birthright and has come to know that when we remember, embrace, and express the gift of who we are, we, as women, will help heal the world.

What is Wild Soul Movement?
Wisdom class uses gentle movement and breath to learn to connect with and listen to your body, mantras to reprogram the mind, and meditation to cultivate inner peace. Think of these sessions like work-ins – rather than workouts.
Flow class is a place to reclaim and redefine your connection and relationship to your body, your sensuality, and how you live, move, express, love, and respect yourself. Each playlist is carefully curated to a theme that will have you experiencing your body in loving and liberating ways you likely never have before (unless you’ve taken class already!). Part intuitive, sensual movement, part free dance, these classes are kind of like pole dancing but without the pole.
Fusion class combines Wisdom and Flow to help you develop a kind and loving relationship with your body.
All fitness levels, body shapes, sizes, and abilities, are welcome in all Wild Soul Movement classes. No dance experience is necessary, and we provide plenty of modifications for anyone who needs them.
