Join Dr. Stacii and a select group of luxury adventure seekers in July 2024 as she invites you on another 'Defining Your Butterfly' (DYB) Retreat—a transformative journey of self-discovery, adventure, and wellness, guaranteed to create lasting memories. Over the past five years, Dr. Stacii and her dedicated travel team have meticulously curated retreat experiences that embody the stuff dreams are made of. In 2024, every element of the Defining Your Butterfly retreat, from exquisite experiences and luxurious hotels to fine dining and scenic train journeys, will transport you to the enchanting cities of Lima, Arequipa, Puno and Cusco, Peru.
This transformative journey is an exquisite fusion of luxury, adventure, and a celebration of personal growth, wellness, and authentic connections. Nestled in the heart of this experience is your stay at the Monasterio, a haven of opulence and tranquility. Honored as a nominee for South America's leading hotel in 2023 by the prestigious World Travel Awards, Monasterio offers a sanctuary of refinement and relaxation. As you traverse Peru's stunning landscapes aboard the Andean Explorer—the world's most opulent sleep train—you'll find yourself surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the country.
Among the retreat's many gems is a culinary enchantment—a sumptuous lunch at Mauka restaurant, orchestrated by the acclaimed Peruvian chef Pía León. Recognized as Latin America's finest female chef by the 50 Best Restaurants List, Pía infuses every dish with her passion for gastronomy, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
However, this retreat is more than just a luxurious escapade. Dr. Stacii Jae Johnson offers an unparalleled opportunity for intimate, non-traditional conversations that propel personal growth and foster authentic connections. As you witness the captivating Peruvian horseshow at Hacienda Huayoccari and embark on a picturesque horseback ride, you'll realize that the journey encompasses far more than scenic vistas—it's a voyage into the heart of personal transformation.
From the awe-inspiring grandeur of Machu Picchu to the cultural tapestry woven by the Uros people of Lake Titicaca, every moment becomes a page in the story of your adventure. Amidst the enchantment, you'll savor the finest Peruvian cuisine and wines, relish champagne aboard the Bingham train, and experience the ambiance of world-class restaurants.
As the journey culminates, you'll be treated to a Farewell Gala Lunch at the San Antonio de Abad Chapel, serenaded by the enchanting melodies of an opera singer and a skilled harpist. This final, unforgettable chapter of the retreat will be etched in your memory—a grand finale that perfectly encapsulates the magic of the entire experience.
While these highlights are just a tiny glimpse of what to expect, the retreat promises a symphony of experiences beyond imagination. This is your chance to turn dreams into reality, to be a part of an exquisite tapestry of memories and connections that will last a lifetime. Join Dr. Stacii Jae Johnson on this remarkable journey—where the extraordinary becomes your everyday and the transformation is profound.
