A gathering of Sis-Stars ready to

A four-day immersion in the Catskills where you will be nourished from the inside out, held in sacred ritual, and guided back to the version of yourself you have always been.

August 27 to 30, 2025 · Red Bird House, Bethel NY · 
Led by Monique Bogni and Shakti Waters

Remember Who You Are

Catskills, NY

The Invitation

There is a version of you that is not stressed, not confused, not running on empty. She has not gone anywhere. She is simply waiting to be remembered.

This retreat is not about fixing yourself. It is not a detox or a reset or a program. It is a remembering. Four days in the Catskill Mountains where every meal, every practice, every moment of silence and every moment of ceremony is designed to bring you back to yourself.

Monique Bogni (Chef Mo) is flying in from her kitchen in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, where she has spent the last few years diving deeper into how food heals the body and the spirit, with the intention to nourish you with anti-inflammatory, plant-forward food as medicine. Every meal is intentional. Every ingredient is chosen with care.

Shakti Waters will hold the energetic container, guiding you through sound, Kundalini, intuitive channeling, Reiki, and sacred ceremony into the parts of yourself that are asking to be seen.

Together, with 30 years of friendship behind them, they have created something their hearts have been calling for. Come as you are. Leave as who YOU are.

HEAL FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Every meal prepared fresh by Monique, Anti-inflammatory, plant-forward, and medicinal. Food as the first act of remembering our true Nature.

SEE ALL PARTS OF YOU

Psychic channeling, intuitive readings, and sacred ceremony to illuminate what is already whole within you. Held by Nature.

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

Ritual, sound healing, Kundalini, and stillness to call you back to the self that has been here all along.

REST AND GO DEEP

Space to truly restore. Space to truly transform. Neither sacrificed for the other.

This is for you if…

  • You have been moving so fast you cannot remember the last time you felt like yourself

  • Your to-do list never ends and somewhere along the way, you stopped making it onto it

  • You are the one who holds everyone else together and you are ready to be held for a change

  • You know how to take care of others beautifully and you are ready to turn that love toward yourself

  • Your self-care is always the first thing to go when life gets full, and your body, mind and spirit are asking for more

  • You are ready to do real inner work in a safe, held, loving container

  • Your body is asking for deeper nourishment, food that supports, not just fills

  • You are curious about experiencing sacred ritual and ceremony in a guided, intentional setting

  • You want to rest deeply and go deep simultaneously

  • You feel the pull of something larger than your daily life and you are ready to answer it

  • You are a Sis-Star who is done waiting for the right time

Reconnect with your BODY and SPIRIT as the noise in your mind finally QUIETS.

Your Facilitators

Monique Bogni

Monique is a Food Alchemist, Nutrition Coach, Retreat Chef and Reiki Practitioner who believes that food is one of the most powerful forms of self-care available to us.

Food alchemy is the art of transforming plants and whole ingredients into something greater than the sum of their parts. It is intention. It is energy. It is medicine. This is how Monique cooks, and it is what makes her food feel different from anything you have experienced before.

Her meals are anti-inflammatory, plant-forward, and deeply nourishing, crafted to support your energy, your digestion, and your overall well-being. Each one is tailored to the experience and to the people gathered around the table. Her cooking carries something that is hard to name and impossible to miss. It feels like being held. Like coming home to yourself.


Shakti Waters

Shakti is a Reiki Master, intuitive channel, sound healer, and Kundalini instructor whose greatest gift is the space she creates for others.

She weaves together energy healing, sound, Kundalini practices, and intuitive channeling to guide others back to their own innate wisdom. She helps you release what no longer serves with ease and grace, so that your highest truth can rise to meet you.

Her work is rooted in a singular belief: that healing is not something done to you; it is something you remember. Shakti holds the container for that remembering with compassion, clarity, and deep devotion to the collective rising.

She is honored to co-create this retreat experience alongside Monique and looks forward to witnessing each Sis-Star's unique rising.
