If you’re a badass woman whose life has been full of decision-making, responsibility, and caring for others, then join us in San Miguel de Allende, where you can treat yourself to time, celebration, and honoring the next phase of life.

Allay any fear about solo travel or real estate investing in Mexico.

Education meets community, meets support, and a whole lot of laughter and fun. Think Summer camp for grown-ups. With real estate education thrown in.

Plus, you’ll be moved celebrating the Day of the Dead in one of the most beautiful towns on earth!

Imagine waking up in the UNESCO heritage town of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Your beautiful room opens to blue sky, and the air is fresh and warm. Birds chirp and electric pink, purple and white bougainvillea flowers cascade into the streets.

Already, you feel the armor dropping and your lungs expand. You have no responsibilities, no family to care for, business to run, or kids to feed. This time is just for you.

It’s Day of the Dead and the streets are teeming with festivities: face painting booths and altars made of bright orange marigolds are everywhere. You feel your heart explode with creativity and inspiration.

Plus, you’ll be learning about Mexican real estate with a group of amazing women. You smile inwardly, grateful that you’ve given yourself this gift.

You feel more clear and inspired, and proud of yourself for any hesitations you might have had traveling solo. Here, you are supported and encouraged. You can’t wait to learn about real estate and financial freedom with a group of women.

You’ll be staying in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO heritage town, known for its baroque Spanish architecture, thriving arts scene and cultural festivals. For the third year in a row Condé Nast has voted it the “World’s Best Small City.”

We’ll be staying in Casa Corazón, meaning house of the heart, a large, beautifully decorated house in the center of town within walking distance to everything.

The house is just around the corner from a lovely outdoor café and also has a roof terrace for stretching, sharing or simply enjoying the night sky. You’ll be sharing large, tastefully decorated bedrooms, each with two double beds. The house is just down the street from a renown organic market. Fresh green drinks, vegetables goodies, and organic potions.

You’ll have your own double or queen bed in a shared room with a private bathroom. Your rooms are colorful, beautiful, and filled with light.

Grab a cup of coffee or tea and a plate of fresh fruit and enjoy some calm on the rooftop terrace. Take a walk outside and enjoy the strands of marigolds decorating the doorways of houses nearby.

We’ll begin our days with a healthy fresh breakfast then engage in writing practice, setting intentions and identifying our passions. In guided meditations, we’ll focus on our money mindset and make sure we’re opening ourselves to abundance.

You walk downstairs and smell the aroma of cooking and spice. You help yourself to fresh squeezed orange juice, fruit, coffee and tea, plus a healthy Mexican breakfast of eggs, vegetables and tortillas. Fresh salsas and pico de gallo decorate the table.

You can feel the love and attention that goes into your meal, and know that you are cared for. We’ll share food family style at the dining table and in the sitting room, or on the terrace. You’ll need your energy, because after our morning exercises of journaling, mindful meditation or yoga, we will walk through the beautiful cobblestone streets of this charming colonial town.

Tea, coffee, fruit and snacks are available to you throughout the day. Plus some wine and good tequila for the evening sharing sessions. This is Mexico, after all.

Mexico is a land of extraordinary richness, with some of the most kind and generous people you will meet. The beauty of the place and the people can break open your heart and fill your life with inspiration. San Miguel de Allende is particularly charming, and has become home to hundreds of expatriates in search of a better quality of life. This UNESCO heritage site is picturesque, filled with craft and art in every market stall, building façade and street corner. It is a feast for the eyes.

In the center of the historic plaza lies the Parrochia de San Miguel Arcangel, an exceptionally beautiful gothic cathedral that shimmers pink in the evening light. The world-class restaurants, charming people and cobblestone streets, and lively night life make it a popular destination year-round. The town is in the highlands of Guanajuato state, located four hours north of Mexico City and an hour away from either Leon or Guanajuato airports. Located at 5500 feet above sea level, it has been called the city of eternal spring.

The ride from and to the airport will be an hour. Some words of Spanish are always appreciated, but English is widely spoken and kindness extended.

I began traveling full-time with my young son after my mother’s sudden death in 2015.

As I met more and more families on the road, my inspiration grew. I began to gather interviews, and I saw that so many people I met had the freedom to travel because they had invested in real estate. It was the main reason I was able to travel as well.

I took a deeper dive into financial education and real estate investment. In Mexico I had the time and space to explore this; time slowed and my quality of life was so much greater. In January I published a book on how to travel full time, including an eBook, and even an audio book I recorded myself.

Travel and living abroad —and then investing — had become an amazing gift to myself. I wanted to share this path with others.

Now I want to encourage other women to feel confident traveling, whether to Mexico, Europe or anywhere else their hearts desire. I want them to create time and experiences for themselves, and hopefully to also join me in the investment sphere.

Join us in San Miguel and let’s Emerge as powerful, educated women who also know how to have fun.

If you’re a powerful woman wanting to grow creatively and financially in the second half of your life, then join me in San Miguel. You’ll leave feeling empowered, educated on how (and why!) to buy real estate in Mexico, while surrounded by a group of equally amazing women ready to support you on your journey to financial abundance. And you’ll have a ton of fun.

The time is now. Are you doing what you want to do?

It’s time to EMERGE.

Join us in San Miguel de Allende next October 29 -November 3.
