Are you…

Running on empty — longing for deep soul rest, but feel like you can't find it?

Ready to step away— not to escape your life, but to return to it renewed?

If you're longing for Christ-centered rejuvenation with a small group of Christian women in a relaxing, beautiful setting…

Then you're invited to join me for an incredible women's retreat at the beach in San Diego!

Join us in this luxurious beachfront home for heartfelt connection and deep spiritual renewal.

This newly built, stunning six-bedroom oceanfront home offers the ultimate in luxury and relaxation, with panoramic doors that open to sweeping views of the Pacific and a private sandy backyard just steps from the surf.

Thoughtfully designed with coastal elegance, it features spacious living areas, a chef’s kitchen, and cozy, designer-decorated bedrooms that invite rest and renewal.

From sunset dinners on the deck to peaceful mornings with God surrounded by beautiful views and the sounds of crashing surf, every moment here feels like a breath of ocean air for your soul.

And yes, these are pictures of the actual beach home where we'll be staying and hosting the retreat!

You're craving more than hacks or quick fixes.

Let's replenish your soul with the rest it desperately needs. 

You love God, your people, and the life He’s given you… but lately, you feel stretched thin–physically weary, emotionally spent, and spiritually disconnected.

Deep down, you’re worn out–desperate for peace, but needing more than “quick hits” of rest that you grab here and there.

You're looking for deeper restoration: deep drinks of connection, beauty, joy… and time with Jesus. This beach retreat was prayerfully designed to meet you in that space.

Come join us as we gather before our Savior and seek healing rest as we spend 5 days soaking in the beauty of His seaside creation.

About Your Retreat Host


Hey friend! If we haven't met before, I'm Alicia Michelle: Award-winning podcast host, author (Emotional Confidence), speaker, and certified Christian mindset coach (ACC, CPLC) for women.

First, I want you to know that I know what it's like to love God deeply and still find yourself running on empty. Not only have I experienced this myself, I work with women everyday who long for deep restoration with God and authentic connection with other women… but have no idea how to find it.

For years I dreamed of creating an intimate gathering where women could experience complete relaxation, heartfelt conversations in a safe setting, and a life-changing encounter with God in a gorgeous, luxurious locale.

In September 2025, I was able to create just that for a handful of women–at a dreamy Tuscan villa!

I saw the amazing miracles God did there for those women… and I knew I needed to recreate that level of excellence, hospitality and deep-soul rest at a retreat here in my hometown of San Diego. 

I also wanted to offer a virtual option for women who couldn't attend live–so that this sort of rest experience available could be available to as many women as possible.

And that's when this 5-day, all-inclusive rest experience was born!

I am so excited about all the ways God is putting together this retreat… and my team and I have already begun praying for you–our precious retreat guests!

I truly hope you'll say YES to joining us for this sacred time as we receive much-needed soul rest from our beloved Savior, Jesus.

Frequently Asked Questions

This retreat is designed for women who love God and are longing for deep soul rest — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. You don’t need to be part of the Emotional Confidence Club, but you should come ready to slow down, connect with Jesus, and be part of a supportive sisterhood of like-minded women.

Women from all denominations are welcome. While Alicia’s sessions and exercises are taught from a non-denominational, Christian perspective, please note that all teaching and materials are rooted in biblical truth. You do not need to identify as a Christian to attend, but all spiritual content will be presented through this lens.

This is a women-only event (no men will be permitted to attend or stay at the retreat house).

Each registration (Platinum, Gold, or Bronze) includes:
–Access to Alicia’s three live teaching sessions (plus recordings afterward)
–Teaching materials and related exercises
–Participation in a private online retreat community (available 30 days before and 30 days after the retreat)

Please note: All retreat bookings are non-refundable, no exceptions. This is a small, intimate, luxury gathering with many upfront costs that are being paid in advance by the host. Thank you for understanding about the refund policy.

The beach house is a beautiful, luxury property directly on the sand with its own private beach and two-story deck overlooking the beach in Oceanside, CA (north San Diego County), about 45-60 minutes from the San Diego International Airport (SAN).

Yes, the pictures shown here on the page are from the actual home where we'll be staying!

Note: Due to limited capacity at the beach house, we have a small number of in-person spots available. For this reason, we are curating the women in attendance to ensure a good experience for all.  All in-person attendees that are not past or current clients are asked to complete this application before signing up.

Virtual attendees do not need to complete this application and can sign up here.

Rooms are cozy and comfortable, offering either private or shared accommodations depending on your selection.

Due to the home-style nature of the space, bathrooms will be shared between guests (one bathroom shared between two to five women, depending on the room locale). There is one bedroom that is the exception to this (see below). There are also some rooms with french-door access to the patio and ocean.

Room options:
–Single occupancy, ocean view with french door to patio, shared bathroom (1 bedroom) $100 upgrade (SOLD OUT)
–Single occupancy, non-ocean view, private bathroom (1 bedroom) $100 upgrade (SOLD OUT)

–Single occupancy, non-ocean view (1 bedroom left!)
–Double occupancy, ocean-view with french door to patio, shared bathroom (1 bedroom, 2 retreat participants) (2 spaces left!)

We’ll do our best to make pairings comfortable and ensure that everyone has what they need for a peaceful, enjoyable stay.

REMEMBER… we also have the GOLD option which is the all-inclusive experience (food, teaching, excursion, etc) but does not include lodging at the beach house. This is a great option if the room you're looking for is sold out!

Virtual attendees will enjoy live access to all three teaching sessions (with replays available), a digital workbook, and access to our private online retreat community.

You’ll also receive guidance for creating your own at-home retreat experience — whether that’s a quiet day alone, a local getaway, or a small-group gathering with friends.

Please note:All virtual registrations are final and non-refundable since digital materials and live access links are delivered immediately upon registration.

Yes. Beer and wine will be available in moderation for in-person attendees as part of the retreat experience. Guests are welcome to enjoy these beverages responsibly or abstain completely — the choice is yours. We simply ask that if you choose to drink, you do so in moderation and with respect for others.

Our retreat schedule is a thoughtfully planned outline of daily activities — but as with all events, minor changes may occur due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Please know that any adjustments will be made prayerfully and with the goal of creating the most meaningful and restful experience for all participants.

Women who register by November 30 will receive a free 30-minute 1:1 coaching session with Alicia after the retreat.


Yes, this includes both in-person and virtual attendees.

This session must be scheduled within 6 weeks of the retreat’s final day or it will be forfeited. Unfortunately, we cannot extend or reschedule free sessions beyond this window.

In person attendees are either previous or current clients, Emotional Confidence Club members, or local friends that Alicia has invited to the event. Others who are not part of these groups and/or who have not previously worked with Alicia are required to go through an application process to attend in person to ensure they are a good fit for the overall retreat experience.


There is no application process required for those who would like to attend virtually.

All attendees — in-person and virtual — will be invited to join a private online community space exclusively for retreat participants. This is not a Facebook group, but a group within a private app just for retreat participants.


This online group opens 30 days before the retreat to help participants connect, share travel details, and prepare their hearts for what’s ahead. It remains open for 30 days after the retreat for continued encouragement, reflection, and prayer.

The online community is a beautiful way to start building friendships before you arrive (or as you prepare from home) and to stay connected afterward as you integrate what God has shown you.

Because this retreat requires advance bookings for lodging, food, transportation, and materials, all registrations are non-refundable — for any reason.


This includes illness, travel delays, personal emergencies, or scheduling conflicts. You may, however, transfer your registration to another qualified woman if you’re unable to attend (please notify us in writing before February 1, 2026, if possible).

For virtual attendees, access to recordings and digital materials means there are no refunds for virtual tickets under any circumstance.

We recommend purchasing travel insurance if you’re traveling to San Diego for the event to protect your investment in case of unforeseen issues.

We’re here to help! Please reach out to our team anytime at info@aliciamichelle.com and we’ll be happy to assist with your questions about accommodations, travel logistics, or registration details.
