Sinking into Your Soul’s Longing
A journey of self-discovery
Let Dr. Sandra Cox, MD help you discover your deepest purpose and bring your gifts to the world. Allow this immersive experience to show you the way.
Many of us have yet to meet our most authentic, wild selves, obscured by the roles life has expected of us. Life’s times of transitions tend to allow us to hear that distant voice emanating from deep inside, begging to be understood and beckoning us to a greater existence. Dr. Cox is here to guide you on your journey of self-discovery, holding your hand through the process, creating a safe and sacred space for you to explore and uncover the real you.
Feeling lost?
It is natural to feel lost when we transition from one phase of life to another. We often lose our grounding and ourselves in the process. Or perhaps we never really knew ourselves in the first place.
Changes in family, relationships, careers, health, community, loss, or even aging, can divulge gaps in our self-expression, our desires, and our core beliefs. As a result we may feel lost or isolated. We can’t name the feeling, save to know that we feel unmoored, adrift, searching for the direction toward home. But, where is home? It is a place within ourselves where our deepest longings dwell, however difficult to find.
Inanna Retreats
During each retreat, Dr. Cox teaches important, practical ways to stay grounded in the earth while processing and transforming old, limiting beliefs.
She guides you through solo nature-based exercises, designed to help you connect with the wild parts of yourself by venturing into the natural environment around you.
She teaches the way of council, an indigenously-based way of being in conversation with others from your heart.
You will have time to creatively express what you are discovering in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
You will also have the opportunity to engage in a ceremony of your design, in order to call to your wild self and embrace the gifts he or she brings.
Inanna Retreats hopes you will emerge from the retreat embodying your most authentic nature, ready to bring your gifts to the world.

Upcoming Retreats
“From Middle Life to Meaning”
A unique journey for women who are searching for meaning as they transition through middle-life changes.
Many times a woman’s life is spent taking care of others or pursuing a career or both. In mid-life, as children leave home, or careers become stale or routine, women can find themselves feeling as if there is no purpose in their lives. By this time in our lives we have gained a different perspective from when we were young. We now know that there is more to us than the roles we have lived out to this point. We may feel as barren as a desert in the dead of winter. But, a storm is on the horizon and as it approaches, it brings the winds of change with renewing rains. If we can embrace the storm with outstretched arms, we will witness the desert transform into wild blossoms, revealing life that, until now, was hidden.
In this 8-10 person transformational retreat in the Anza Borrego Desert outside of San Diego, CA, we will walk confidently into the storm and descend into the realm of Soul where fears and doubts can be confronted then transformed into our gifts to bring to the world. Free yourself and learn to live your life in a soulful, purposeful way.
Dates: April 2-7 2024
Location: Anza Borrego Desert near Borrego Springs, California
“I love guiding others down into their unconscious minds, the realm of the wild self, to find and overcome false beliefs instilled in them in childhood, and help them transform those beliefs into their own sacred truths.
Being a witness to their transformations is truly a privilege.”
