This is more than an event...it’s a space to feel seen, supported, and inspired.

Yes — and many attendees will come alone. Whether you are entering a new chapter, rediscovering yourself, or simply looking for a soulful weekend to reconnect and recharge, all are welcome. Intentionally designed to foster authentic connection, sisterhood, conversation, and meaningful shared experiences, whether attending alone or with friends/family, guests are welcomed into a supportive and inclusive environment designed to help everyone feel comfortable, connected, and part of the community throughout the weekend. 

Desert Muse encourages elevated comfort, authentic expression, and desert-inspired style. We recommend bringing comfortable clothing...think relaxed flowy fabrics & light layers. Pack activewear for movement experiences, elevated evening resort-style attire for the Saturday soirée, swimwear for poolside relaxation, walking shoes for the meditative desert hike, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, sunglasses, and anything that helps you feel grounded and comfortable throughout the weekend. Most importantly, we invite you to wear what helps you feel comfortable, confident, expressive, and fully yourself. You may also wish to bring a journal.

Absolutely. We welcome queer, straight, bi, lesbian, trans, and non-binary women ages 18–98 from all across the United States and beyond. Our vision is to create an elevated and inclusive destination experience where women from different backgrounds, stories, cultures, and life experiences can come together beneath the desert sky to connect, recharge, heal, celebrate, and rise together. We believe in creating a space rooted in respect, authenticity, emotional safety, sisterhood, and meaningful connection where all attendees feel seen, valued, supported, and welcome. We encourage guests to move at their own pace and fully embrace the restorative and grounding energy of the experience.

Desert Muse Festival intentionally curates experienced and emotionally grounded practitioners whose work aligns with connection, healing, inspiration, movement, authenticity, and sisterhood. Each facilitator is thoughtfully selected for their unique energy, experience, and ability to create welcoming, restorative, and meaningful experiences that contribute to a cohesive and transformative wellness weekend. Every activity and experience throughout the weekend is also carefully scheduled and intentionally designed to support flow, balance, restoration, emotional connection, and personal growth, while the festival’s Mistress of Ceremonies helps weave all facilitators, healers, and experiences together into one cohesive and intentional journey.

Yes. The 2026 festival marks the inaugural women's wellness retreat weekend and the start of what we hope will become a meaningful yearly gathering for women seeking soulful experiences, personal growth, and intentional community.
