SUMMARY:Amazingly Alcohol Free - Palm Springs AF Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Amazingly Alcohol Free – Palm Springs AF Retreat\n  \nOur Palm Springs AF Retreat\, happening September 25–28\, 2026\, is an intimate\, alcohol-free experience designed for connection\, confidence\, and real-life expansion. \nWhat makes this retreat unique is its size and intention. There are only five rooms available in a vibrant private midcentury-modern home in Palm Springs. This is not a large event or conference. It is a thoughtfully curated gathering of women who are choosing to deepen their alcohol-free confidence in a space where they do not have to navigate drinking culture or explain themselves. \nPalm Springs brings a bold 1960s midcentury aesthetic\, desert mountain backdrops\, colorful architecture\, and a timeless sun-soaked energy. Mornings by the pool\, warm desert air\, and expansive skies create a natural reset that feels both grounding and energizing. \nThroughout the weekend\, we will gather in a private home for guided connection conversations\, poolside yoga\, a sound bath experience\, shared meals\, and intentional downtime. The experience balances reflection\, growth\, and relaxation. While there is space to lounge and slow down\, the heart of the retreat is meaningful conversation and stepping into your alcohol-free life in real time. \nGuests will fly into Palm Springs International Airport (PSP)\, approximately five minutes from the retreat home\, or into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)\, about a two-hour drive depending on traffic. Airfare and transportation are not included. \nThe retreat is hosted by Jaime Andersen\, founder of Amazingly Alcohol-Free. Jaime is an alcohol-free coach and certified Vinyasa yoga instructor who creates intentional spaces that blend mindset work\, movement\, and nervous system support. Her retreats are designed to feel personal\, supportive\, and expansive. \nThis experience is for women ready to deepen their alcohol-free confidence in a powerful\, in-person setting. \n  \nRetreat investment ranges from $1\,800 to $2\,200 depending on room selection. \nRoom options include: \n• Private King or Queen Room with Private Bath – $2\,200\n• Private Room with Shared Bath – $2\,000\n• Shared Queen Room (two beds) with Private Bath – $1\,800 per person \nSelect private rooms may add a second guest for a flat rate of $800 for the additional person. Guests choosing this option must register together. \nA $500 non-refundable deposit secures your selected room and is applied toward the total retreat investment. Payment plans begin 60 days after the deposit\, with monthly automatic payments available. Final balance is due by August 1\, 2026. \nAirfare and transportation are not included. Guests may fly into Palm Springs International Airport (PSP)\, approximately five minutes from the retreat home\, or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)\, about a two-hour drive depending on traffic. \nThe retreat includes three nights in a private luxury home\, all meals and beverages\, guided connection experiences\, poolside yoga\, a sound bath\, and a fully curated alcohol-free environment \nLove what you read? #sharesobriety\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit
