About LFLF Retreats

Where the Journey Inward Becomes the Path Forward

Live Fully, Live FIERCELY Retreats

This is more than a name—it’s a reclamation. A return.

A sacred space where women come to move, reflect, release, and rise. And just as importantly—to feel fulfilled, adventurous, and deeply alive.

What LFLF Retreats Are All About

LFLF Retreats are soulful, expansive, and joy-soaked sanctuaries for women ready to reconnect—with their bodies, their truth, and what’s possible.

These retreats are built for the woman who is ready to move with intention and strength, feel deeply and unapologetically, reflect on what’s no longer aligned, and rise into her next chapter with clarity, courage, and trust in herself.

Each retreat is a carefully curated blend of structure and soul. We combine movement that awakens your body and unlocks energy, with mindfulness practices that return you to yourself. We guide you through coaching and reflection to help name what’s next, and foster connection and community that reminds you you’re never alone on this path.

These are not escapes from life—they are returns to self. Immersions that invite you to soften, expand, release, and remember.

At every turn, we lead with intention. With laughter. With depth. With delight.

And always—we lead with love.

At the Heart of LFLF Retreats is a Simple Belief

When a woman chooses herself — fully, unapologetically, and intentionally — everything shifts.

Why I Created LFLF Retreats

A Note From Our Founder, Derith "Coach D." Avila

For over two decades, I’ve helped women feel stronger in their bodies, clearer in their minds, and more aligned in their lives. But for years, I was doing it all at full speed—until life forced me to slow down.

In 2016, after moving from Texas to Massachusetts and navigating a difficult season of burnout and endometriosis, I sat across from a woman named Lynn—an acupuncturist who asked me a question I didn’t know I needed to hear:

“Are you asking for what you want?”

I wasn’t.
And I burst into tears.

But in that moment, I knew exactly what I wanted:
To lead retreats.

To create life-changing experiences for women like me—women who were tired of playing roles, carrying everyone else’s weight, and living on autopilot.

That conversation cracked something open.

Later that year, I said yes to leading my first retreat—on Squam Lake, in a home graciously offered by a friend. I didn’t have the roadmap. I didn’t have a big team or polished pitch. But I had the calling. And I was finally brave enough to answer it.

Since that first retreat in 2017, Live Fully, Live FIERCELY Retreats has evolved into something far bigger than I ever imagined—hosting transformational retreats across the country and around the world for women who are ready to come home to themselves.

These retreats are the fullest expression of my life’s work—a fusion of movement, mindset, breathwork, rest, nature, adventure, and soul-deep conversation.

This isn’t about escaping your life. It’s about coming home to it—with more clarity, strength, joy, and self-trust.

And while I started this journey solo, I knew it wasn’t meant to be done alone. That’s why I’ve brought together some of the most brilliant, soulful, wise women I know—teachers, healers, and coaches with deep experience and powerful tools—to co-create these retreats with me.

Together, we’re here to help you rise.

Your voice.
Your truth.
Your fire.
Your FIERCE.

With love,
~ D.
