A Women’s Transformational Journey of Empowerment, Connection, and Radiance

At the "Rise & Radiate" Retreat, every meal is a celebration of wellness and community. Enjoy thoughtfully prepared dishes made with fresh, wholesome ingredients, designed to nourish your body and elevate your spirit.

The "Rise & Radiate" Retreat invites you to step away from the noise of modern life and immerse yourself in the simplicity and serenity of nature. As a camping retreat, accommodations include cozy glamping setups with limited access to power—offering you a rare opportunity to reset, unplug, and reconnect with yourself and the natural world.

This is your chance to try something different: to rise with the sun, bask in the beauty of starry desert nights, and embrace the rhythms of a more intentional pace. Leave behind the distractions and discover the profound clarity and connection that come from stepping into the present moment. Let this retreat be your sanctuary for renewal.

Tubac, nestled in the beautiful Sonoran Desert, offers mild and comfortable weather during late February and March, making it an ideal time to visit.

• Daytime Temperatures: Days are typically warm and sunny, with average highs ranging from the mid-60s to mid-70s °F. The abundant sunshine makes it perfect for outdoor activities like hiking, yoga, and exploring the local art scene.
• Evening Temperatures: Nights and early mornings can be cooler, with lows dipping into the mid-40s to low 50s °F. A cozy jacket or sweater is recommended for evening gatherings around the fire pit or stargazing.
• Sunshine & Rain: Expect mostly clear skies with minimal chances of rain, though the occasional light shower is possible. The desert landscape thrives during this time, with hints of spring blooms adding to the scenic beauty.
• What to Pack:
  
  • Light, breathable clothing for the daytime.
  • Layers, such as sweaters and jackets, for the cooler evenings.
  • Comfortable shoes for walking or hiking.
  • Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect against the desert sun.
  • A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated in the dry climate.

Tubac’s weather during this time of year offers the best of both worlds: warm, sunlit days and crisp, star-filled nights. It’s the perfect backdrop for a retreat focused on connection, reflection, and rejuvenation.
