Our retreats are designed for active and retired collegiate or professional level athletes ages 21+.

We pride ourselves in creating safe spaces for all gender-identities, sexual orientations, races, and nationalities. Our retreat program's core principals are love, respect, diversity, and healing. If you like the sound of this environment, you should apply!

While our retreats are designed to heal and restore, traveling and connecting with new people for an entire week requires a substantial amount of energy. Do not apply for a retreat if you are currently injured or experiencing a mental health crisis. In both of these cases we recommend you reach out to your support network and reapply once you are stabilized.

We'll be right here for you when you're ready <3

Spots are limited at our retreats and we try our best to carefully read through each application to ensure that the athletes who join us will receive the maximum benefit from our programming.

If you are selected, you can expect a confirmation email within 1-14 days of submitting your application. If you do not hear back from us, we are likely booked and encourage you to reapply in the future!

If you have questions about your application, email info@viragoproject.org.

Upon confirming your spot at our retreat, our team will reach out with payment options and instructions. We understand that attending any kind of wellness retreat is a large personal and financial investment. To help off-set retreat costs, we encourage athletes to seek out tuition sponsors from friends, family members, and anyone who has supported their athletic journey.

Your retreat tuition covers most venue-based activities including daily yoga, sound baths, beach and pool access, three delicious & healthy meals per day, ecstatic dance, healing circles, etc. Anything we do outside of the venue is optional and paid for by our retreat guests (i.e. hot springs, surf lessons, dolphin watching, mountain treks, nights out on the town, etc). Cost of activities depends on the location.

Flights & transportation to the retreat location are not included. At some locations, we will be able to provide ground transportation to and from the airport to the venue.

Once your spot is confirmed we will send travel tips, retreat details, and information regarding the various activities you can take part in so you can budget appropriately.

Heal, connect, and have fun.

The great thing about Virago retreats is that all of our guests and hosts have extensive lived experience in the sports world and understand the challenges and triumphs of being a competitive athlete. We build in a ton of time for physical rest and meaningful reflection which is critical for the healing process. But we also believe that adventure and light-hearted fun are great antidotes for the perfectionism, performance anxiety, and rigid-thinking that so many athletes face.

You'll leave your retreat experience feeling hopeful and restored with new friends, perspective, and energy. You'll also create a personal roadmap for staying true to yourself and grounded for the remainder or your athletic career and transition into / maintenance of retirement.

If for some reason you did not receive a confirmation for this retreat, it is most likely booked out and we encourage you to apply for the next one as early as possible!

Our goal is to make these retreats as accessible and impactful as possible while simultaneously providing a service that can generate revenue to support our programs and operations. The proceeds we earn from our first retreats will be used to pay our staff and relaunch our podcast- Virago Pod- a free and impactful resource for our community. Over time, we aim to offer retreat tuition scholarships and hire more mental health & healing professionals to work onsite with our athletes.

As a grassroots organization, this process takes time, but with the support of our community, we believe the vision is feasible.

We welcome corporate sponsors and individual donors to give to our retreat program so that we can provide tuition scholarships to athletes and hire more personnel for future retreats.
