The Journey Healing Oasis Presents:
The Soul Care Retreat:
Embracing Ease & Adventure
July 23rd - 28th 2026
St Thomas, USVI
Hear from others who have journeyed with us!
Hear from other women who have lived the experience!
Honoring the devotion, softness, and resilience go the woman who gives so much - and now chooses herself.
This retreat was created with the nurturers, mothers, and caretakers in mind — the women who so often hold everyone else, yet quietly long for a moment to be held themselves.
St. Thomas invites you into her gentle rhythm of sea and sun, offering the perfect escape from daily responsibilities so you can return home to yourself. This is not about schedules or perfection — it’s about ease, soft adventure, and the simple joy of being cared for.
Here, you’ll have space to exhale. To rest your body. To nourish your spirit. To feel the warmth of community and the freedom of island life. Together, we’ll flow through soulful practices, gentle ceremonies, and island adventures that awaken both peace and play.
This is your invitation to step away from the weight of doing, and to remember the beauty of simply being.
We’ve handled all the details

Hapé (Rapéh)
Hapé (pronounced ha-PAY) is a sacred plant medicine used by Indigenous tribes of the Amazon for spiritual, physical, and emotional healing. It is a finely ground blend of tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) and other medicinal herbs, traditionally administered through the nose using a special applicator called a kuripe or tepi
What Is Hape?
Source: A combination of sacred plants, often including strong jungle tobacco (mapacho) and other botanicals, blended into a fine powder.
Purpose: Used for grounding, clearing energy blockages, enhancing meditation, and connecting with spirit during ceremonial practices.
Effects of Hape
Grounding & Clarity: Hapé helps quiet mental chatter, creating a profound sense of focus and connection to the present moment.
Energy Cleansing: It aids in purging stagnant emotional or spiritual energy, clearing negativity, and balancing energy fields.
Heightened Awareness: Some users experience increased sensitivity to spiritual insights and deeper connection during meditation or ceremonies.
Physical Detoxification: Hapé can trigger mild purging responses like sneezing, crying, or mucus release, considered part of the cleansing process.
Additional Benefits
Emotional Release: Hapé can help release suppressed emotions, promoting inner peace.
Spiritual Connection: Many find it facilitates a deeper relationship with their inner self and spiritual guides.
Focus & Centering: It sharpens mental clarity and enhances meditative states, making it a tool for prayer, reflection, and manifestation practices.
