"Every day fond memories stay with me of our time on the Quest Retreat in New Mexico. It really was transformative for me. Experiencing these exercises with a group of people is very different than sitting in my bedroom! The support and compassion of so many amazing women seems to make the healing and reflection easier, deeper. Perhaps more than anything is the access that I gained through your amazing leadership to my divine goddess. I feel kind of woo-woo-ey saying that. But it’s true. The work that you led us through helped me see more clearly the power and clarity of my own guidance system. Only I know what's best for me. The space that you held for me so steadfastly helped me see that."
-Carol Guttzeit, Denver, CO
"What was my favorite part of the Quest retreat? Everything has been really great - from the environment to the cooking to the singing, the rituals, sharing, and the learning. I particularly appreciate you bringing us back to the realm of spirituality with your singing and your guidance on rituals. And people! All the participants have been truly fantastic and created a very special environment for sharing, shedding, learning, and growing. And Victoria? Her Love is the very foundation for us to take this inward journey together. Her courage, her vision and her communication skills are the fabric that holds this process together. Victoria is truly an inspiration."
- Joyce Wong, Tucson, AZ

It's time to step into the season of growth and abundance. My summer retreat this year is a 4 day experiential retreat with Vision Quest, in SW Colorado, for those seeking mastery and success in living their True Life.
THIS SUMMER RETREAT INCLUDES A 30 MINUTE FOLLOW-UP COACHING SESSION WITH VICTORIA!
UPDATED RETREAT DATES AND LOCATION:
The Quest for Your True Life Retreat – Embracing Change with An Open Heart is an eclectic mix of useful tools from my own wisdom journey, the most important of which is using time in nature to discover and converse with your Authentic self within. She is the one who moves easily from her own inner knowing of what truly matters to living that vision in the world. This gives her a powerful presence - magnetism that enables her to stay centered and grounded between earth and sky, regardless of the winds of culture pushing their agenda.
The focus of this year’s Quest is about learning a new approach to Change. The last couple years have been quite an example of how change is always here and can really rock the boat of our lives. What should we do about it? Certainly not become victims of it! This unique, experiential retreat gives you my best tools for embracing change with compassion and devotion – it will change your perspective on Change!
The Retreat centers around a private mini-vision quest alone on the beautiful land. Leading up to it is a day of personal experiential learning and preparation to get ready for that solo experience. Afterwards there is a powerful session creating Shields of Change and an amazing evening circle of sharing your Vision Quest stories in a ritual way. The closing ceremony is co-created and enacted on the final night of this 4 day retreat.
The week also includes mindfulness meditation, delicious meals and delightful lakeside cottages at Willowtail Springs for solitude and contemplation. Outwardly we'll hike the Rocky Mountain terrain enjoying towering Ponderosa Pines and berry-covered Junipers, picking wildflowers, dancing, and sharing in safe circles of compassionate support. This is my premier and favorite retreat - time at a stunning sanctuary, finding your own wisdom in a conversation with the Sacred Other.
In the expansive beauty of this protected land, join a community of women, committed to nourishing their Souls and developing their ability to embrace change. On this four day retreat you will:
- Call forth your intuitive presence & personal power
- Learn what hidden commitments keep you stuck in old stories
- Design new strategies for embracing Change with Devotion
- Experience the magic of a solo mini-Vision Quest
- Connect with your own True Vision of What's Next

No quite ready? Want to know more? Read on...
In the 10 years I've been coaching, what's emerged to me as the most critical piece of creating your True Life has been the ability to change - this includes both your own willingness to change and defining what's in the way of your change and how to eliminate it.
The world we live in is moving faster and faster all the time - since we can't control its increased levels of speed, we can only learn to make choices that will enable us to have the life we want. There's no doubt that in many areas, we are called to change.
In my own journey of evolution, there have been times where change flowed easily and times where it didn't. When it didn't, I found myself frustrated and bit resentful - why must I change? How come I'm not changing faster? What is blocking this from happening?
What I've discovered is that while I might say I want certain changes to occur, there are hidden commitments that I have made to myself that are holding me back. Until I look deeply at what these commitments are, and the beliefs that made them, I will stay stuck.
This retreat and the one day solo quest you take are your opportunity to uncover how hidden commitments you've made block your journey to full wholeness and expression. This is a powerful road that requires a willingness to look deeply and honestly at yourself. The retreat will call forth specific values in you.
The values you will need to bring are:
- The Desire to Grow - you believe in the continuing evolution of your best self and accessing it matters!
- Willingness to Learn - whether neat or messy, curiosity fuels you to step onto the path of expanded consciousness.
The Values you will have increased strength in as a result of this Quest are:
- Intuition – tapping into the messages of divine inspiration that come from Source
- Self-Trust – Staying grounded in faith in oneself brings energy to go forward
- Confidence – Certitude, sureness, even boldness!
- Unwavering Resolve – Tenacity and determination
- Living in the Mystery of Not Knowing – letting go and detaching from outcome, opening your arms to embrace possibility and change.
Without these Values, we can become prey to cultural criticism and being externally driven. With them you can step away from fear, perfectionism and not being enough and make the changes that will lead to your True Life.
As a Certified Coach and Retreat Leader, I firmly believe that you hold all your own answers within – these are the Hidden Jewels in your Heart. Through the Quest Retreats I create environments of safety, love, trust and expression for you to discover those answers and make authentic decisions on how to move forward. In my experience, nothing can match the power for true transformation and growth as spending time deeply listening in the beauty that is the gift of Mother Earth.
This retreat explores the beliefs that keep you from realizing your True Life. Immersed in the beauty of Willowtail Springs, your days are a blend of experiences that move you to more freedom and wholeness.
Some of the Path Markers along the way are :
- Learning Tools of Change - Identifying what holds you back from shining the brilliance of your Purpose all the time
- Releasing these obstacles with ease and purpose; shedding the old self who no longer serves
- Experiencing a solo Quest alone in sacred conversation with the natural world to find the Vision of your Authentic Self
- Accessing your personal Creativity to Express that Vision on a Shield of Beauty, a visual totem of your Beingness and Personal Power
- Sharing your heart’s story in the safety and support of a tribe of powerful sisters who see and love you
- Declaring your clear commitment to walk the path you’ve chosen through thoughtful action that makes a difference
- Celebration! Locking in the gifts of the Journey - Glowing with Love and deep Connection to what really matters!!
Each day’s activities prepare you for your Solo:
- Guided meditation
- Group circles of discovery and learning
- Hiking on the land to unique sites of Beauty and Wildness
- Accessing body and voice through personal movement and enlivening song
- Time alone to journal, rest and be renewed by nature
- Knowing you’re a valuable part of a purposeful community that supports you
