Picture this...
You get away... from it all. The noise, the kids, the news.
You wake up to the silence of the rising sun, greeted by a Goddess bringing you coffee in bed.
You take your coffee and journal outside, feeling the sun on your face as you stretch for gentle yoga.
Your body is nourished from delicious gourmet meals
(that you didn't have to cook)
and your heart is full from laughing
and dancing the night before
with women who feel like best friends for life.
Away from the noise of life,
you can hear your heart's yearnings.
Led by the Woman Whisperer, you begin to see your deepest desires and most expansive dreams.
You tear up at the deep knowing that everything - everything - is possible.
In the luxury of pampering, you feel the abundance wanting to come through.
In the plush vineyards, you feel the juice you're born for.
You feel true JOY in your body.
"Real Life" is a million miles away, yet finally -
finally you feel "home".

What is it like to work with Carina?
"(Carina) Has such a gift. She has the ability to see, honor, celebrate and encourage & inspire each of us uniquely and all of us collectively. I felt witnessed, cherished, celebrated, encouraged, accepted, & loved from Day 1. And after working together, it feels like a connection that will last and last. The bonds and love forged are real and deep."
Jaime L.
“I don't really have words for working with Carina. She really is the woman whisperer, and though she might sometimes push you to the edges, she does it lovingly and while having your back. Working with her is edgy at times, but doing the exercises full out and staying with it and through it liberated me and gave me empowerment."If you're considering working with Carin, do it. I mean seriously, do it!"
Venla
"I am incredibly grateful for having found you…your impact on me, my life is not to be described with words…"
Marjolein
"Working with Carin has been truly life changing, in a way that nothing else has. She opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking, feeling and perceiving my life and this world that I am part of. Carin’s incredible mix of talents –including an expertise in positive psychology, a deeply intuitive nature, a strong focus on purpose, a love for coaching others, and a natural charisma – position her uniquely to make a profound impact in the lives of those who choose to work with her. My fulfillment, relationships, emotions and confidence have all improved dramatically since working with Carin. I’m deeply grateful to her for sharing her gifts with me, and I’d recommend her services to any woman who wants a more fulfilling life!"
Jessica
"I am afloat because of the things you have taught me. I actually want to do more with you. Thank you for what you have added to my life, you are AMAZING!!!! Joining your program was one of the best decisions of my whole life!"
Wendy
"Working with Carin has been life altering. When I first met Carin I was at a crossroads in my life— I was at an impasse in my career and personal relationships, my inner critic wasn't particularly kind, and I felt anxious and lost. Carin truly works magic. She completely altered my perception of my place in the world in a positive way, and she gave me the tools I needed to be a more confident and authentic version of myself. I (feel) grounded and energized. Since working with Carin, I am more open, I smile and laugh more, and I see the world as a place full of mystery and wonder."

Hi, I'm Carina
Hi Sister, I'm so happy you're here. With my masters degree in positive psychology, a dozen years of coaching thousands of women, and with ancient feminine and sensuality training, I'm one of the world's leading experts in women's happiness.
I'm leading a global revolution for every WOMAN to reclaim her power, and for us to rise together in our magnificent glory.
I take a stand for all women to fulfill their wildest dreams. To accept nothing less than your true desires. To rise from the ashes of feeling broken to realize you are whole and holy.
In my arms, you will release lifetimes and generations of wounds and alchemize them all into purpose and empowered pleasure and play.
You will declare your worth. You will accept nothing less than you deserve or desire.
You will fall in love with yourself and realize your own magic.
I create sacred and powerful spaces for women to feel fully alive and free.
Women just like you.
As a Speaker, Podcaster, Author, Coach, and Founder of The Institute of WOMAN, I’ve spoken on stages for 1000+ people at companies like Amazon, been the “Happiness Guru” on a SiriusXM show and coached thousands of women to reclaim their power.
I’m a domestic violence, armed robbery and miscarriage survivor who has turned my pain into purpose to be the Mama, Wife, Feminist, Mentor, Retreat Leader, Coach, and High Priestess I was born to be.
I am Wild & Free. Wise & Grounded. Alive & On Fire.
I am WOMAN.
FAQ's
Will I get focused attention?
Yes, this retreat is only available for up to 8 women, so you'll get lots of focused time and attention from me, Carina.
Will I like the other women?
If you're like me and most women, you have some wounding around women. From mean girls at school or on the PTA, your mom, sister, etc. That's normal, and it's a reason to go on a retreat like this. The healing will change your life, and the lives of your daughters, nieces, and all you touch. Only women can heal this wound when together, so I take my job of creating safety as the utmost importance.
This is a safe and sacred space to bring all of you and be LOVED for YOU. Obviously, we can't guarantee how you'll feel about the other women, but in the more than 20 retreats I've facilitated, women have consistently LOVED each other! Many become friends for life. I genuinely believe I attract the best women on the planet.
If I change my mind, can I get a refund?
Because of the nature of retreats, and the fact that we pay for lodging, food and activities in advance, please understand that refunds are not possible.
Will my photo be taken and used for promotion?
We will take photos throughout the weekend for ourselves, and appropriate pictures will be shared online for other women to see the experience of retreats with me, so that they can have the same experience. If you don't want your photo to be used online, that's perfect too. Just let me, Carina, know in advance and we'll make sure it is not!
Other questions? Please message my team: Team@theinstituteofwoman.com
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to remember that you are whole and holy.
Luxuriate with us.
