Najia is THE ideal guide to help maximize the rejuvenating effects of your Cape May Retreat. With her help, you minimize the stressful, disoriented feelings of 'needing a vacation from your vacation
.........Najia worked with me personally to release my self-doubt on the ocean breeze (on my personal photo shoot), feed my soul with healthful, homemade vegan dishes, indulge my inner child with Cape May Shore foodie favorites, and nurture my authentic self with local Cape May art, sacred dance, and her lifestyle mentorship sessions all while expertly guiding me around the lovely little seaside town.

​
Do I have to stay at the same hotel?
Najia's realm of magic happens at the Chalfonte. This Cape May gem is just 3 blocks from the beach and right in the center of town amid the splendor of old world Victorian charm. They provide free porch concerts, umbrella and chairs and some refreshments for guests. It will certainly be more convenient if you stay at the same place but if you already have a shore home, or other accommodations that you prefer then please do what is best for you to feel comfortable. Just remember our activity and lesson schedule has to be flexible due to weather and our photo shoot is at sunrise. We head out to the beach BEFORE the sun rises on Sunday. If you have paper accommodations to host a retreat for friends at your shore house just ask Najia.She is willing to work out what she can to make a wonderful experience for you.
​
​
Do I have to do all the activities?
You are free take it as you feel. I provide experiences, props and products throughout that all enhances your feminine beauty of body mind and spirit so that you have this amazing memory .You may enjoy some quiet retreat time on your own to journal or revisit some of your favorite shops and tourist attractions.
​
What if the weather is bad?I am not a beach person etc.
As far as activities, there is plenty to do in Cape May. Some of our dance and oracle activities can be under the beautiful Victorian porches rather than the private lawn area. We just have to go with the flow, just like a mermaid.
