To live in the moment, to enjoy the moment, and to put sights back on myself. I’ve solo traveled, I’ve traveled with friends, but this was my first experience with group travel, joining other women whom I had not met. This trip connected us in a way where we started as strangers and left with hard goodbyes. We were all on our own journeys, and all of our journeys overlapped in the most beautiful way for these few days. We enjoyed so many beautifully curated activities, focused on self love, and spent time for OURSELVES - whatever we needed. I’m so thankful.

Something shifted for me there, and I joked that it was because our group’s connection created a secret manifestation vortex during our trip, but in reality it was the magic of Mira.

Being in such a beautiful place with women from all walks of life, openly sharing our dreams, passions, and challenges, was truly special. Alongside the comfort of our luxurious accommodations and the world-class experience, we were welcomed with open arms and encouraged to be our authentic selves.

I left the trip with my intentions and desires in alignment, a clear vision for my future, and a circle of friends who continue to support me to this day, and it is because of the experience Katie and the Mira team so expertly created.

Mira helped me manifest the community and clarity I was craving, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

Thank you for bringing Mira to my life. In bringing this perfect group together, you have given us the space and the reason to prioritize ourselves. Beyond the natural beauty of Hawaii, and beyond the amazing zen of Sensei & The Four Seasons, we all feel so held by each other and Katie set the tone for that in her vulnerability, her genuine passion and empathy, and she made it all possible by creating this beautiful container to come together and to nourish our souls.

Not only was I able to visit a city that is dear to me, but I made friends from all over the world, created special memories that I will hold close to my heart, and on top of that, I connected inwardly and discovered a beautiful kind of self love I didn’t know that I was capable of. Taking those moments to connect so deeply to myself was beyond my wildest dreams. I cried a lot - but it was only happy. Happy that I chose to do something for myself, happy that I was able to explore the most beautiful country in the world, happy to indulge in my favorite cuisine and happy to meet like-minded, strong, empowering and wildly bright women that forever changed my perspective on life. This trip made us all feel so special and loved, and changed my life forever–just in one short week.

I’d never done a group trip before, and as someone who’s a fairly experienced traveler, I never really considered it as an option for myself. But this trip wasn’t like other trips. The focus was entirely on us, on what would best serve our own self-growth and wellness, on what we *wanted* to do, instead of following a set itinerary to the letter. It was the perfect balance of health and indulgence, of caring for our bodies and our minds, of bonding with the others and enjoying time for ourselves. And it was, indeed, exactly what I needed at this point in my life.

What I loved most was meeting so many amazing women who have gone through similar challenges and experiences as I have. It was so special to share our stories and give each other advice on how to keep being our truest selves. As women, it’s so important for us to take care of ourselves and do things that fill us up so we can keep being our best selves, taking care of our families and achieve in all that we want to in this life. What better way to do that than by traveling with a group of women, which is exactly what Katie has delivered with Mira. Mira allowed us to take the much needed getaway we’d been looking for, while being fulfilling, adventurous, relaxing, and life-changing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience–thank you Katie for inviting me to be a part of this trip that I’ll never forget.
