🌊 Escape to PLAY! Retreat 2026 in Punto Palmarcito, El Salvador 🌴
January 16-21, 2026
Have you been dreaming of a vacation but can’t seem to get it together? We’ve got you. Welcome to the PLAY! Retreat—where fun meets soul, and adulting takes a back seat.
Imagine this: an oceanfront villa in the heart of Surf City, steps away from one of the best beaches in El Salvador. This luxurious, secure, and oh-so-comfortable haven is your playground. I’ve curated everything so you can simply show up, relax, and PLAY.
🎉 Why PLAY! Retreat?
At PLAY!, I (Taraleigh!) am your fun auntie AND the grandma who spoils you rotten. I adult so you don’t have to. No stress, no planning—just pure, unapologetic YOU time. Recharge your batteries in a space designed for busy souls who deserve a break.
✨ Tailored to Your Needs:
This isn’t your average retreat. It’s specially curated for folks who adult hard and need to remember what joy feels like. Yoga, local chef-prepared meals, epic excursions—all chill AF and stress-free.
🌈 Rediscover How Fun You Are:
PLAY! is about reconnecting with the part of you that’s been buried under responsibilities. Think soul-filling activities, coaching sprinkled with magic dust, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. You’ll live my famous Woo Woo Lifestyle for 5 nights and 6 days—woo as in meditation, yoga, and sharing circles, AND woo as in let’s party!
This retreat is specially curated to meet (and exceed) the needs of busy people who adult way too much on a day to day basis. I ensure that every activity – from yoga to local chef prepared meals to excursions is enjoyable, chill AF, and stress-free.

Your Host: Taraleigh Weathers
Taraleigh Weathers (That’s me!)
Meet Your Retreat Guide: Taraleigh Weathers 🌟
Hey, I’m Taraleigh—your fun auntie, hype woman, and wellness wizard for the PLAY! Retreat! I’ve spent years crafting transformative experiences that help busy adults hit pause, recharge, and reconnect with the most vibrant parts of themselves.
I’m the Wellness Director for Music Masters Camps near Woodstock, NY, where I get to blend my passion for music, mindfulness, and community in the most epic ways. Plus, when I’m not leading retreats, you’ll find me spinning tunes as DJ Cheetata, bringing funky, feel-good vibes wherever the beat takes me. 🎧✨
Before diving into coaching and retreats, I had an amazing career as an NBA cheerleader, which taught me all about performance, energy, and connecting with an audience. Since then, I’ve been featured in Live for Live Music, Relix Magazine, Huffington Post, and MindBodyGreen, sharing my love for life, wellness, and music. I’ve even been flown out to cover festivals like Life is Beautiful in Vegas and have spoken and taught at events like Jam Cruise, Hulaween, Grand Point North, and Tumbledown Festival. 🎤🌈
With over 20 retreats hosted across the U.S. and abroad, I’ve mastered the art of creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and wildly alive. My book, How to Rock Your Life, has been (very unofficially) declared the best book in the universe by several people I know on the internet. 📚✨
When I’m not planning my next adventure, performing with my band The Middle Ages, or leading wellness experiences at festivals, you can catch me dancing like nobody’s watching—whether it’s at shows, in the streets, or in my living room.
I can’t wait to meet you in Punto Palmarcito, El Salvador, for PLAY! Retreat 2026. Get ready for magic, connection, and memories that’ll last a lifetime. 🌴💖

Testimonials
I first attended a retreat by Taraleigh nine years ago in Vermont with musician Ryan Montbleau.
It was wonderful but for no particular reason I didn’t do another. That is until three years without a proper vacation, the winter doldrums and the state of the outer world and my inner world had me dreaming of respite. That’s when I saw her post about a February retreat in Mexico.
I messaged her “tell me more about this retreat. Will there be snorkeling? I need to snorkel.”
A month later I found myself sharing a huge house with a private room overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We laughed, we cried, we danced, we snorkeled on our private beach, took a boat to many beaches and bays, achieved “float nirvana” in the pool, enjoyed daily morning yoga/meditation to the sounds of the ocean, drank pool side sunset cocktails, dined al fresco, oceanside mud treatments supporting a local women’s collective , and on…
I return with a healed body (I was sick for weeks prior) and a renewed spirit. And with 8 new friends who somehow feel like old friends.
If you haven’t experienced the beauty and magic in retreat, I encourage you to try.
“I was never going to go if I waited for someone to come with me.”
Kim Blake
Let me start by saying that when I first stumbled upon Taraleigh’s retreat, I was in a really dark place. I was questioning myself, feeling stuck, and unsure if I even had it in me to sign up. But deep down, I knew that this retreat was exactly what I needed to do for myself. And I’m grateful that I took that leap of faith!
From the moment I attended my first retreat, I felt a shift within me. It was like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds and illuminating my path. The retreat itself was a powerful experience, filled with self-discovery, personal growth, and a sense of connection that I had been longing for. Taraleigh’s guidance and the supportive community she cultivates created a safe and nurturing space for me to explore, heal, and expand.
But here’s the most incredible part: the impact of these retreats doesn’t fade away after the event is over. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. The retreats have become a guiding light in my life, and I find myself attending almost every single one that Taraleigh offers. Why? Because they keep me on the path I want to be on.
Each retreat brings new insights, skills, and mindset shifts that continue to shape my journey long after I’ve returned home. Taraleigh has an incredible ability to create experiences that not only inspire in the moment but also leave a lasting impact on our lives. The tools and practices I’ve learned at these retreats have become an integral part of my daily life, allowing me to navigate challenges, cultivate self-love, and manifest my dreams.
But it’s not just about the personal growth and transformation. The connections I’ve made at these retreats are truly priceless. The people I’ve met have become lifelong friends, soul sisters, and a support network that I cherish deeply. We uplift, inspire, and hold space for each other, even when we’re miles apart. The community that Taraleigh creates is like no other, and being surrounded by such incredible souls is an invaluable gift.
If you’re feeling stuck, seeking personal growth, or craving a sense of connection and inspiration, I wholeheartedly encourage you to go to one of Taraleigh’s retreats. They are the bright light that keeps me going, the catalyst for my ongoing transformation, and the source of immeasurable joy and growth.
I can’t even put into words how much these retreats have impacted my life, and I believe with all my heart that they can do the same for you. Take that leap of faith, trust your intuition, and go on this incredible journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
– Nikki
I highly recommend attending a retreat hosted by Taraleigh. I’ve been to 4 and can honestly say it’s been the best money ever spent and I hope to continue to attend ones in the future. She has created a safe and inclusive space that is nothing like I have ever experienced. We laugh, we cry, we eat, we dance and we yoga together. You are empowered to participate as much or as little as you want. I will leave each retreat with new friends that I can call upon when I need a shoulder to cry on or just to talk. If you are on the fence, Take the leap and sign up. You won’t regret it.
– Lauren
In May of 2019, I was battling 5 months of sadness that I felt would never end. I went to a weekend retreat with Taraleigh and by the end, my sadness had lifted and was replaced with a sense of hope and true happiness. The space that Taraleigh holds during these retreats is magical and carried back into my “real life” once I left. I felt safe sharing my emotions during her well thought out activities that were full of self reflection. Immediate bonds were made with the others attending the retreats. So many of these women I consider dear friends of mine to this day.
Her retreat changed my life for the better and I continue to hold that magic, her magic, in my heart to this day!
– Dawn Jenkins
A retreat with Taraleigh is like a vacation with your fairy godmother guiding you through your adventures! I’ve gone on many of her retreats now, and each time it was to give myself a break from every day monotony, to inspire me, and to nourish my soul. Every time I leave with new friends and feeling fulfilled. I keep going back so I can be with my retreat friends and family, and so I can continue to try new things!
– Annie
I have to share the most amazing experience I had recently at one of Taraleigh’s retreats, and I can’t stop thinking about how much you would absolutely love it too. Before I finally took the leap and signed up, I was always coming up with excuses not to go, but deep down, I knew I was missing out on something truly special. And was I right!
From the moment I arrived at the retreat, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. The level of care and attention to detail was unparalleled. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing; everything was taken care of. For once, I was the one being pampered and looked after, and it felt incredible. The retreat provided the perfect balance of relaxation, laughter, and self-discovery.
But the biggest benefit of all was the connections I made. I laughed until I cried, cried until I healed, and formed deep bonds with incredible individuals who quickly became my new best friends. These are people I know I can count on for anything I need. The sense of support, understanding, and love that permeated the entire retreat was something I had been craving for so long.
Believe me when I say that this retreat exceeded my expectations in every possible way, and I had high expectations to begin with. If you’re looking for an opportunity to recharge, find joy, and connect with like-minded souls in the most beautiful setting imaginable, I urge you to join me at Taraleigh’s retreat. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss out on, and I promise you’ll come back feeling renewed, inspired, and with memories that will last a lifetime.
