Space for Real, Reflective Growth
Step away from the noise and into sacred space where your inner voice can rise. Through insightful prompts, soulful connection, and gentle guidance, you’ll peel back the layers and rediscover the parts of you ready to shine again.
Immersion in Joy & Community
This isn’t just time away. It’s a full-body experience of joy, creativity, and true sisterhood. Expect dance, laughter, beautiful conversations, and spontaneous magic. The retreat is designed to wrap you in warmth and welcome, from the moment you arrive.
Nourishment That Loves You Back (Yum)
Think vibrant, wholesome meals made with care. Food that feeds your body and your soul. Every dish is curated to energise, delight, and honour your well-being. It’s nutritious and delicious. (Joy is a key ingredient.)
Sound Bath & Soul Recalibration
Immerse yourself in a meditative sound journey using crystal bowls, chimes, and vocal tones. Let vibrations wash through you, dissolving tension and recalibrating your spirit back to peace.
“Move In Joy” Dance Circle
This isn’t about perfect moves - it’s about Joyful movement! Expect afrobeat, soca, soul classics, and uninhibited expression. Laugh, sweat, shake it out, and reconnect with your playful power.
Sunrise Stillness:
Guided Breathwork & Meditation
Begin the day with the rising sun, gentle breathwork, and mindful presence. This is your space to “be where your feet are” and anchor in serenity before the day unfolds.
The Belly Laugh Workshop
Laughter is medicine! In this playful workshop, you’ll laugh on purpose, explore improv games, and rediscover the kind of deep belly laughs that leave your cheeks aching (in the best way).
Glow-Up Ritual: JoyFeel Spa Night
An evening of playful pampering - think face masks, mirror affirmations, scalp massages, and self-blessing practices. Leave glowing on the outside and lit from within.

Naomi Walker
Gemstone has this way of lighting you up just by being in the room. There’s something about how she holds space - it’s grounding, freeing, and filled with light. I’ve walked away from moments with her feeling like I reclaimed a part of myself. I can only imagine how powerful this retreat will be.
Amara Mitchell
I’ve never had someone see me so clearly. Gem helped me reconnect with a part of myself I didn’t realise I’d put on pause. Just a few hours with her changed how I show up for my life. A full retreat in that kind of energy? That’s the kind of shift we all deserve.
Sade Patterson
Her energy is magnetic - warm, wise, hilarious, and real. Even in a short exchange, she makes you feel seen and safe to be fully yourself. I remember thinking, ‘whatever she’s building, I want to be part of it.’
Tess Anderson
You don’t just hear Gemstone, you feel her. There’s a depth and softness to the spaces she creates that stays with you. I still carry that feeling with me. If this retreat is anything like what I’ve experienced with her before, it’s going to be life-changing.
