3 Day Empowerment Private Retreat for Men
You don’t need more information, you need transformation…and I have the backstage pass to make that happen right here, right now.
You WILL leave lighter than you knew you could be, more grounded than ever before, and inspired for the next chapter of life to begin after we open your mind, clear your heart, and restore your soul!
Spend four transformative days with me and move forward knowing excatly where you are going, how to get there, and what to do when you arrive.
You will know what you were made to do, you will learn your life’s purpose, you will learn which lane of life is yours, and how to cruise with the top down!
You will learn to transform pain into wisdom, fear into strength, and resentment into gratitude.
If you feel a resonance to anything on this list, this retreat is for you!
- Everything is basically good, but something still feels missing!
- You want to learn how to thrive instead of fighting to just survive!
- You want to learn to ride the waves of life with grace and strength
- You are exhausted from living a life of obligation and want to embrace your own dreams
- You are trying to decide between two paths and want guidance on which one to take
- You’re done listening to the world and you’re ready to choose yourself!
- You’re new to spirituality and want a crash course in what to do and how to maintain high vibe energy
- You want to drink less but don’t know what else to do at the end of the day
- You’ve just gone through a divorce or break up and want to develop a relationship with yourself before you start dating again
- You’re disconnected from your own heart and life.
Designed for fun, playful introspection, and soul serving solitude, you will return home a new man with a new outlook!
Imagine you are lounging on the white sands of the Emerald Coastline where the beautiful weather awaits, you are finally getting away for a weekend all on your own!
On arrival day you will check into a beautiful hotel with the beach just steps away, breathing in the fresh clean air, watching the fiery sunsets, surrounded by so many amazing restaurants you’ll never want to leave.
You will enjoy a healing massage that is more than just superficial self-care, it is a grounding experience that tells your body its safe to relax, it’s time to let go of all your worries, and your restorative weekend has begun!
You will have a heartfelt chat with Samantha unpacking all of your dreams, big to small!
After dinner you will enjoy an evening wind down mediation under the stars, relaxing and restorative, soaking up all the beauty of the night. Once in your room you will enjoy a water ritual to cleanse the soul and body, preparing you for the next day’s soul nourishment.
At 11 am the next morning, after a sleep-in and leisurely breakfast, you get to choose your own morning adventure, you’ll arrive at the retreat location where we say hello and immediately jump into a Shamanic Sage Smoke Cleanse.
After that we move into your creamy chocolaty Cacao Ceremony to open our heart’s inner guidance and loving insight.
From there the day will include a series of soul adjustments, workshops designed especially for your Self Development needs, and of course, gorgeous food.
In the middle of the day, we will pause to have a chef-quality organic lunch made with your preferences leading the way. Your retreat uncludes a Human Design Reading where I will blow your mind with insights! I use the golden information to encouarge you to be all you were born to be, your soul leading the way.
Before the day closes you will get a chance to be heard, without pressure or judgment.
You will head back to your room to integrate the day’s shifts.
You will sleep like royalty and wake up full of inspiration, soul alignment, and ready to begin your next chapter.
I will teach you exactly what you need and keep the lessons clear, concise, and efficient.
It’s your turn to receive all the self development light you deserve.
Before the day is complete, you’ll get a 1-1 Spiritual Session to empower you with simple, yet massively profound ways to live the life you desire.
Day three takes shape on day two: sometimes we decide to jump back in at 9am, others we get rolling at 11, and some clients feel complete and we part ways, its a custom retreat with self empowered results with you in the driver’s seat.
A retreat that goes on forever, because you deserve lifelong results.

Your Host is. . .
Samantha Darling
Inspirational author, self-development mentor, retreat host, and Master of Empowerment.
I am here to help people get connected to themselves and master their lives. There is little more important than knowing who you are, what you need, and how to make yourself feel safe, happy, and loved no matter what is happening around you!
In a world where the only constant is change, we all could use a little help in mastering that internal process. We are all on the same path, walking home to ourselves, home to love, home to our highest calling. I just happen to be a little ahead of you, holding a flashlight as was done for me.
We cannot stop the waves of life from crashing down on the shores of our souls, but we CAN learn to ride them with grace and strength!
In all of my work: books, retreats, mentoring, and YouTube videos, my goal is to show how I was lost, how I came back to myself, and how you can too!
For we cannot truly belong to anything greater unless we first belong to ourselves.
My latest release, Just 90 Minutes to a New You, is a short and sweet guide to mastering emotional stability, presence, and creating an unshakeable internal trust…in just three minutes a day for 30 days.
Ladder to Lightness: Be the light of your own life is the travel-based self-development workbook I created to lead you with pleasure and ease on the path to becoming your favorite self.
My specialty is working with clients in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. I show my clients who they were born to be, this inspires them to make the changes they need, and all of this guides them into emotional independence, more self-love, and authentic confidence.
I teach people how to navigate change like a BOSS.
My incredible stories of personal exploration involve an eight-year solo journey around the world, to rid myself of everything that did not resonate with my soul while healing from the inside out.
I attended 200HR YTT with Mark Whitwell in Fiji in 2017 and have been a Certified Huna Hawaiian Shamanic Practitioner since 2022 under Kelly Kay’s leadership.

Location
The Best Place to BE YOU Under the Sun!
Laguna Beach offers a long and sandy shoreline away from the hub of Panama City. Come here to get away from the densest crowds, and enjoy the sand and water. Whether sunbathing, swimming, beachcombing or paddling, the beach is perfect.
When you want to have some fun in the sand, water, and sun — and be away from the densest crowds — this is the place to go.
Compared to many of Florida’s desirable beach towns along the Gulf of Mexico, Laguna Beach stands apart for its lack of commercial development. Around the time of World War II, landowners to the north of U.S. Highway 98 were concerned that their views of and access to the beach would be lost to commercial development — the beach itself lies on the southern side of U.S. 98.
To protect against the injunction, the northern landowners successfully got an injunction from Florida’s Supreme Court that reserved the land south of U.S. 98 in Laguna Beach proper against major commercial development. This reservation has lasted up to the present day.
In addition to swimming, sunning, dining, and strolling the beach, there are many more nearby activities you can enjoy on your trip to the panhandle of Florida. Boating, snorkeling, exploring nature, and more are easily accessible from this gem of a location!
You can visit the recently finished PC Pier Park to see the well-known shopping hotspot if live music, memorable moments, dining, and shopping sound good to you. You can pop over to Destin for more of the same, plus luxury outlet malls to fill your suitcase with gifts to bring home, water parks or puttputt golf for a little childlike fun, and more spas than you can count!
A perfect place to retreat, restore, and heal your soul.

Rave Reviews… that’s the only kind I have.

My experience was nothing short of amazing.
I was in search of cleansing, healing and releasing. When I came across Samantha’s retreat online, I was instantly drawn to her. I spoke with her over the phone, email and text! Her communication was excellent! Her healing words and patience were all needed to solidify my need to take this experience.
Samantha was very welcoming, supportive and kind!
I wrote down questions to ask her to understand my journey and the things I experienced. Before I could ask her, through our talks and activities she answered all the questions without knowing what I had on my mind. That’s a true gift of a healer!!
There is so much I could share, but it’s my experience personal to me! You will just need to book her and create your own experience!!
Thank you Samantha for your service and support! The World Needs You!

Samantha healed my soul and saved my career
I was in a Dark Night of My Soul. After 25 years of growing a non-profit, I was burnt out. I did not know who I was any longer. Where was my spark? Where did my inner power go?
In early January, I was in such a bleak place that I stayed in a chair in a corner of my house for 5 days. I thought about leaving my beloved non-profit. After all, if I had lost my spark and inner power, how could I continue to serve?
Thank you to a loving and nurturing family, unconditionally supportive co-leaders, and a very understanding board, I took 10 days to rest and recharge.
Now what? How was I going to heal? These 10 days needed to count. A retreat would be a good jump start.
Google helped me find Samantha’s 3-Day Empowerment: SOLO Beachside Retreat. I researched hundreds of retreats, but kept coming back to Samantha.
These were the words on her site (BookRetreats.com) that really drew me in: “Casual yet profound, you’ll leave grounded, full of lightness, and bubbling over with renewed inspiration. This retreat is for the individual who wants to leave nothing in life on the table!”
Yes, that’s exactly it! I wanted to feel lightness again and was ready to work for it.
First, I needed to know more about Samantha. I read over her website and was impressed with her knowledge, passion, and experience. Then, I wanted to “see” her in action, so I watched her YouTube videos. This woman drew me in! I felt like she was talking directly to my concerns. Finally, I downloaded her book, The Sunset on Malibu. I loved, loved her vulnerability in sharing her story (plus, she’s a fine writer). Yes, if Samantha could put all of herself out there, I could be honest and transparent with her, too.

Highly recommend!
This grief retreat was exactly what I needed after the tragic passing of my partner. Samantha was so incredibly helpful!

When a trip feels so organic and natural to a person who feels devastated inside, something magical happens.
The main part of this magical journey was the retreat with Samantha.
I returned home feeling different and, for the first time in a long time, I enjoyed going back home.
Part of that change that I felt and still feel had to do with Samantha’s intuition and experience to help me go through an intense and precise path so that my soul could feel a little lighter. I didn’t know what I was looking for until I was in front of Samantha, but when I was in front of her I knew it very clearly. Feel lighter.
On a day when it was very difficult for me to smile, I was able to smile almost at the end of the day. Thank you Samantha for all your magic.

I’ve been working with Samantha to heal some wounded feminine energy and I’m so grateful to have found her. She provides excellent communication that has helped me tremendously.

The retreat, and Samantha, helped me to realize that I am worth caring about. That just because your life looks like it just fell apart, there is a reason for everything. Sometimes you have to go through darkness to find the light.
I needed to take a retreat because I am divorcing my wife of 10 years. Stressed out big time! I realized that I needed help to try to get my head straight. I asked the universe to help me make sense of everything and it led me to Bookretreats and Samantha Darling. She took care of everything from lodging to getting me on the path of healing my inside light.
Samantha Darling put me on my healing journey. Beautiful lady, inside and out.

I feel so grounded and inspired! I am looking forward to many more sessions with Samantha, she’s a beautiful human I am grateful to have crossed paths with. I bought both of her books, I can’t wait to dive in and be the author of my own story too.

I would recommend anyone who is looking for focus and the next steps in life. I was looking for a little more direction in my life.Samantha was excellent in guiding me, she is a very warm person and genuinely wants to help other people to thrive.I had an excellent workshop with her.
Andrea

Samantha immediately invited me to open up and let out the emotion I was experiencing around my struggles. She willingly and empathetically offered support, through listening, a tarot reading, and a cacao ceremony. She led me through powerful rituals that really helped me to gain new perspectives on my life, and find ease during a difficult time. When we talk, she tunes in through connection to Spirit to decipher what tools to use for the specific situation I’m coming to her with.
I love the variety of (re)sources she has to offer. I trust her with knowing what to use and when, and I trust her very poignant interpretation of these tools as they apply to my life. I always feel in greater alignment after I’ve spoken with Samantha, and filled with new exciting ways to process my life and the world around me.
I know her guidance comes from a place of genuine care to heal through love. I know that I’m leading my life from a more awakened, conscious self now thanks to Samantha.

Samantha lifted the veil. She helped me find the power inside of myself that I had been ignoring. I finally gave myself permission to say “yes” to everything the universe was offering and my life is forever changed!
To whoever may read this, there is a reason you were led to Samantha, she is an incredible healer.

This is a great retreat. Truly understand yourself! I felt stuck in my life and I wanted to know how to listen to myself more as opposed to the outside world. The one on one was important. It was catered to me and the whole process was dedicated to my specific needs. I have a way to discern things things and ideas for my highest and best expression of myself.
Samantha gives a step-by-step breakdown of how to break out of whatever challenges you are facing. I found it very engaging and I received a step-by-step approach to apply to resolve any issues I have or will face.
I felt really understood and even developed a great understanding of myself.
