Say Yes Palm Springs

A Soft Landing in the Desert

October 14-18, 2026 | 5 Days, 4 nights | Palm Springs, CA

It’s mid-October. The heat has softened. The pools are warm. The desert slows down in the best possible way.

For four nights, we’ll stay in a private retreat home in Palm Springs with a small group of women who are craving rest, connection, and room to breathe.

Slow mornings. Real meals. Thoughtful conversation. Time away from constant noise.

This isn’t a packed itinerary. It’s a reset.

Why October?

Why Say Yes to Palm Springs in October

October is when Palm Springs becomes itself again.

The air cools just enough for long mornings outside and dinners that stretch late into the evening. The summer crowds disappear. The pace softens.

This trip is intentionally built around that feeling.

Coffee by the pool. Desert light at golden hour. Slow afternoons downtown. Space to rest without needing to “maximize” every minute.

You do not need to earn rest before taking this trip.

The Experience

What We'll Experience Together

This trip is designed around presence, not pressure. The itinerary is thoughtfully planned, but there’s room to breathe inside it.

A few highlights you can expect:

  • Slow mornings at the house with coffee by the pool

  • A guided walk through Andreas Canyon beneath the palms

  • The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway at golden hour

  • Long dinners at local restaurants across Palm Springs

  • Wandering downtown shops, bookstores, and vintage spots

  • Documentary-style photography throughout the trip

  • Open time for naps, pool afternoons, golf, spa appointments, or absolutely nothing at all

Accommodations

Where You'll Stay

We’ll stay in a private retreat home designed for slow mornings and easy evenings.

Three travelers will have private king suites with attached bathrooms. One shared room includes two queen beds.

The house includes:

  • Heated pool

  • Outdoor lounge spaces

  • Full kitchen

  • Quiet corners to recharge

  • Shared spaces designed for conversation and connection

This won’t feel like staying in a hotel. It’ll feel like temporarily living somewhere beautiful.

About the Pace

This is not a trip built around rushing from activity to activity.

There’s an intention behind the slower pace.

You’ll have space to sleep in, linger over breakfast, sit by the pool longer than planned, and actually absorb where you are while you’re there.

If you’re looking for constant stimulation and packed schedules, this probably isn’t your trip.

If you’ve been craving an actual exhale, this might be exactly the right one.

  • 4 nights in a private retreat home with a heated pool and spa

  • First-come choice of a private king suite or shared queen room

  • Every meal, from Thursday dinner through Monday breakfast

  • All group activities and entrance fees

  • Local transportation throughout the trip

  • Professional documentary-style photography throughout

  • A thoughtfully planned experience so you can fully unplug

What's Included

  • Flights to and from Palm Springs International Airport

  • Travel insurance, which I strongly recommend

  • Alcohol and personal bar tabs

  • Optional add-ons like golf tee times or spa appointments

  • Personal shopping and souvenirs

What’s Not Included

Outdoor restaurant patio with palm trees, people dining, and a table with plates of food, drinks, and decor.

Meals

Every Meal Is Taken Care Of

Most meals are included so you don’t have to think about reservations, grocery lists, or logistics while you’re there.

Some mornings start with breakfast at the house beside the pool. Some afternoons are intentionally simple. Dinners are slow, shared, and part of the experience itself.

You show up hungry. I’ll handle the rest.

18+ Years of Professional Experience

You'll Be in the Photos

I’m not just hosting this trip, I’m documenting it.

I’ve been a professional photographer for more than 18 years, and one of the biggest things women tell me after traveling is this:

“I realized I’m never actually in the photos.”

That changes here.

You’ll leave with honest, documentary-style images that capture what the trip actually felt like — not stiff poses or forced moments.

Photos of you laughing. Resting. Exploring. Fully there.

Fit Check

Is This Trip For You?

This trip might be for you if:

  • You’re craving rest without isolation

  • You want connection without forced group energy

  • You love thoughtful travel more than checklist travel

  • You want someone else to handle the planning

  • You miss feeling present while traveling

  • You want beautiful photos of yourself that actually feel like you

You do not need a dramatic reason to take this trip.

You’re allowed to simply want it.
