Blisstopia Retreat Sancuary Peoria, AZ

Amazing property backing up to state park and hiking trails. Five bedrooms, 6 baths - 16 beds, private chef made meals, labyrinth, pool, jacuzzi, sauna, yoga room, and balcony views

Sunset, Sisterhood, and Soul-Deep Serenity.
Rested. Nurtured. Integrated.
 

Peoria, Arizona - Phoenix’s metropolitan area’s best kept secret.

Located northwest of Phoenix, Peoria sits on the edge of the Sonoran Desert—just 30 minutes from Sky Harbor Airport.
Blisstopia borders a protected mountain preserve and is part of exclusive, high-end residential properties, offering a setting that is both accessible and deeply serene.

Big sky.
Perfect sunny weather.
Open, quiet desert energy.

It’s in town and yet feels secluded and private—ready to meet you exactly where you are and hold space for your unfolding.

The labyrinth encourages an inner journey. Steady. Centered. Renewed.

A haven for building self-trust and self-love. Connection. Healing. Belonging.

A retreat for 16 women . All inclusive. Transformational 3 days and 3 nights

You’ll be greeted with acceptance the moment you arrive and gifted a curated bag of special things to enjoy throughout the weekend and at home too.

You’ll experience groups designed to help you celebrate, shed, expand, and shine, each one crafted to remind you of who you truly are.

You’ll meet other women and form bonds that feel both surprising and familiar, and you’ll meet yourself with a deeper sense of knowing, softness, and love.

You’ll move through Conscious Breathwork sessions that invite inner transformation that last long after the retreat, the kind of growth that doesn’t need words.

You’ll enjoy daily movement, a gentle hike, nourishing yoga, and even transformational laughter that lifts the heaviness you didn’t realize you were carrying.

And the food… the shared meals will be a journey of their own, filled with conversation, quiet moments, and memories that linger long after you return home.

When you pause to hear the whisper and honor the internal ache of awkward discontentment, the unclaimed essence that is You stirs awake. That single moment of recognition cracks open the hidden path, breaks through the old armor, and unleashes a new journey.

Wild, Worthy, & Whimsical

This retreat is not about fixing

improving, or upgrading yourself.

It’s a spacious return to the woman you already are — the woman beneath the noise, beneath all the roles and responsibilities, the pressure to hold it all together, and the quiet ache of trying to be enough.

For the you that has always been wild, always been worthy, been whimsical and whole — even on the days she forgot.

Here, you are invited to lay down what is heavy, soften what is tight, and breathe into the truth you have held inside.

This is where your spirit re-members, your joy reawakens, and your you—ness is reignited.

It is not about inventing or becoming a new you, it is about allowing who you already are to be your home.

Wild, Worthy, & Whimsical

A Women’s All-Inclusive  Retreat 

March 12 - 15, 2026

Blisstopia Retreat Sanctuary Peoria, AZ 

Three days of belonging, awareness, and remembering yourself as whole, wild, and beautifully enough.

An invitation to remember, release, and reclaim yourself.

You’ll arrive as you are and
be welcomed as whole.

Together, we’ll create safety, trust, and love; the kind that holds you through laughter, release, and transformation.

Expect daily conscious breathwork and
sound healing, sisterhood and sacred movement, and moments of quiet stillness beneath the Arizona sky.

You will be seen.

You will see yourself.

Here, the unraveling and opening will be empowering.

And then with each breath, you will remember what was always waiting to be loved, allowed, and free.

A spacious blossoming of the woman you have always been.

Just you

I’m Dana Gagnier, a life coach, conscious breathwork facilitator, sound healing practitioner, energetic medium, and intuitive guide who has spent over a decade helping women return to the truth of who they already are.

I create spaces where your nervous system softens, your inner wisdom awakens, and the parts of you that went quiet, finally feel safe to rise.

This retreat is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering.

Why I created Wild, Worthy, & Whimsical

I created this retreat because I know the terrain of being a woman who is evolving — spiritually, emotionally, creatively. I know what it feels like to outgrow old versions of yourself, to feel the whisper of something more, and to long for a space where you can unfold without pressure, judgment, or performance.

I wanted to offer a sanctuary where women can:

  • reclaim their softness

  • expand their confidence

  • deepen their connection to intuition

  • be held in sacred feminine community

  • laugh, cry, breathe, release, allow, and receive

Wild, Worthy & Whimsical is the space I always wished existed.
Now I get to offer it to you.

The Way I Hold Space (My Signature Approach)

I guide you through circular connected breathing patterns that help you access clarity, emotional release, and deep inner knowing. Breathwork is both a tool and a portal — a way home.

Conscious Breathwork

Sound Healing & Frequency Work

Using crystal bowls, chimes, vocal resonance, and frequency-based meditation, I create vibrational experiences that support nervous system repair, emotional release, and energetic rejuvenation.

Energetic Intuition & Subtle Guidance

As an intuitive practitioner and energetic medium, I sense what’s happening beneath the surface.
This allows me to hold space with precision, compassion, and attunement.
It’s passionate, loving, and always rooted in ethics.

Your breakthroughs won’t float away.
I help you integrate them — emotionally, mentally, and energetically — so they become part of your daily living, not just this 3 day retreat.

What Women Say About Working With Me

“I didn’t know I was even missing safety and self -trust inside. I never knew it was possible to love me - really begin to love and hold reverence for myself. Dana’s guidance shifted something in me I’ve been struggling with for years.”
Retreat Participant

“Her conscious breathwork sessions helped me to remember who I really am, and to heal in a way that didn't need to be said or talk and talk about, over and over. I am lighter, clearer, and spiritual in a way I never thought was possible.”
Client Testimonial

“Dana blends depth, intuition, quirkiness. Her own transparency and self-acceptance has helped me accept my own humanness.”
Coaching Client

The Energy I Bring to This Retreat

I lead with:

  • softness

  • clarity

  • intuition

  • grounded presence

  • reverence for the feminine

  • and a little bit of whimsical magic

I believe in laughter as medicine.
I believe in safe spaces where women can unravel and rebuild.
I believe in truth-telling, embodiment, and the beauty of being human.
I believe in you — in the parts you show and the parts you’re still learning to love.

And I’m honored to guide you through this Wild Worthy, & Whimsical journey. Love Wins, Dana

Gentle Invitation

If something in your body is whispering yes…
If your heart feels a pull you can’t quite name…
If you’re ready to rise in a way that feels delicious, grounded, and true…I would love to welcome you to this retreat.


Be true to you

This retreat may not be the right energetic fit right now if:

  • you’re in a phase where slowing down feels unsafe

  • you’re navigating something that requires more individualized support

  • you’re not ready to explore your inner landscape

  • you prefer a highly “hands-off” experience

  • investing in yourself right now would create pressure instead of peace

And that’s completely okay.
Your journey is yours, and the timing matters.

You can explore:

There are so many journeys, trust that you can find what is best for you. Don't give up.

There’s always a place for you in whatever way feels right.

What you might be wondering - Frequently Asked Questions.

Your comfort, clarity, and peace of mind matter . Here are answers to the most common questions so you can feel fully supported from the moment you say yes. If your question or concern isn’t answered here, please reach out via the contact page and ask directly — you will always be supported.

  • Experience a gentle, grounding desert hike rated 1.5 out of 5 for intensity. The trail includes a small hill, but the terrain is friendly for most bodies and the pace will be set to accommodate everyone.
    This is an optional experience.

    What to Expect

    • Sunset timing for beautiful views

    • A silent walk to support presence and connection

    • An opening circle at the beginning

    • A meaningful group activity at the top

    • A closing circle before returning

    • The option to hike at your own pace during free time

    Hiking shoes are required for Arizona desert terrain.

  • Enjoy a grounding, accessible yoga session focused on nervous system regulation and mind–body connection.

    Details

    • Style: Gentle flow + restorative

    • Level: Perfect for first-timers

    • Duration: 30 minutes

    • When: Saturday morning awakening group

    • Props: Mats and all props provided

    • Additional: Gentle movement + meditation will also be offered Friday and Sunday mornings

    All bodies and experience levels are welcome.

  • Group experiences are designed to be heart-opening, intuitive, playful, emotionally safe, and deeply connective. They may also vary on intensity based on the group needs.

    You can expect a blend of:

    • Partner or trio exercises

    • Creative exploration

    • Sharing or processing circles

    • Energetic or sound-based activities

    • Intention setting

    • Reflective moments

    • Movement-based practices

    • Fun + lighthearted group work

    These are not optional, but participation is always spacious, compassionate, and never forced beyond comfort.

    The exact activities are intuitively chosen based on group needs, energy, and what will bring the safest, richest healing experience.

  • To ensure every voice is respected and supported:

    • Group time must be shared, not dominated

    • Silence is respected and creates space for quieter voices

    • Feedback is NOT advice-giving or fixing

    • Instead, feedback follows this structure:
      What I heard…
      What I saw…
      How I can relate…
      What came up for me was…

    This creates safety, reflection, and authentic connection for everyone. This is also recommended for time when interacting with other group participants outside of group settings.

    • Thursday: Opening group + breathwork sessions

    • Friday: Likely 2 group experiences + 2 breathwork sessions

    • Saturday: Likely 2 group experiences + 2 breathwork sessions

    • Sunday: Closing group + integration + possible breathwork Sesson

    (Activities will adjust based on the needs and energy of the group.)

  • Conscious Breathwork is a gentle yet powerful healing practice that uses intentional, connected breathing to help you access expanded states of awareness. Through this rhythmic breath pattern, your body and energy system open, allowing stuck emotions, old patterns, and deep releases of subconscious patterns. A single experience will continue to unfold for 3 to 7 days. At this retreat you will have several breathwork sessions so the stacking effect and deep healing is exponential.

    May say it’s like a theraputic psychedelic experience without taking a substance.

    A powerful experience with immediate results.

    Every session is unique.
    Clients commonly experience:

    • emotional breakthroughs

    • healing of childhood or past wounds

    • a sense of clarity or spiritual connection

    • the dissolving of stress and overwhelm

    • deep peace, warmth, or unconditional love

    • creative insights and new awareness

    • a feeling of coming home to themselves

    You remain fully conscious and in control throughout the entire process.
    This work is safe, nurturing, and designed to support gentle transformation rather than overwhelm.

    Benefits may include:
    ✓ reduced stress + anxiety
    ✓ increased intuition
    ✓ emotional release + clarity
    ✓ physical tension release
    ✓ inner guidance + spiritual insight
    ✓ creative expansion
    ✓ a deeper sense of presence and connection

Modalities

Retreat Activities & Experiences

    • arrive on time

    • no phones during sessions

    • confidentiality

    • speak from your own experience

    • honor your body

    • keep shared spaces tidy

    • use headphones for personal music

    • kindness, curiosity, compassion

    • There is no maid service, or room service, we are sharing a retreat space together and we clean up as we go.

    “No smoking, vaping, alcohol, or recreational substances.”
    Sacred, clean energetic space.

  • You are always free to take care of yourself in the way that feels right for you.

    However:

    • retreat tuition is not refunded for early departures

    • leaving early can disrupt your experience and the group container

    • if you feel overwhelmed, you can always speak with me for support

    • often, a simple adjustment or grounding moment brings relief

    You will never be shamed or pressured — but I encourage you to stay through the arc of the experience if possible. Many transformative moments happen gently, near the end.

Retreat Culture & Etiquette

  • Yes.

    We offer a limited number of private rooms for an additional fee. Total Retreat pice - $3333
    If you want solitude or your own sanctuary, this is a beautiful option.

    You can also stay on your own in a Hotel or AirBNB and then the Retreat cost is $1555

  • Yes, there will be shared-room options depending on the accommodations you choose.
    If you’re coming with someone, let me know and we will pair you together.

  • Sharing a room can bring connection, but it can also bring up nerves — that’s completely normal.

    Here’s how I hold this gently and clearly:

    1. I take great care in roommate pairings.

    I do my best to match personalities, sleep needs, and preferences based on what you share in your registration form.

    2. If something feels off, please tell me.

    You will never be stuck.
    You can come to me with absolute privacy and honesty.

    Sometimes all that’s needed is:

    • a conversation

    • different expectations

    • adjusting the energy

    • creating boundaries

    • more spaciousness

    Often, one small shift brings relief.

    3. If a change is possible, I will make it.

    Depending on room availability, I will move you to:

    • a different roommate

    • a different room

    • or a more spacious sleeping arrangement

    This isn’t always guaranteed, but I will always explore the options with care

    4. You will never be shamed for needing comfort, quiet, or personal space.

    Your sense of safety matters.
    Your energetic wellbeing matters.
    Your needs matter.

    And I hold all of that with compassion.

  • Room assignments are made on a first come, first served basis.
    Your room choice is secured once your deposit is paid.

    How the process works:

    • The earlier you reserve, the more room options you’ll have

    • After your deposit, you’ll receive a short rooming preference form

      • A private room (limited; added fee), or
