OUR MISSION
Goddess Destination Retreats was founded by Lisa Powell Graham, MPA, Martha Beck Certified Life Coach because she is passionate about global travel, and about empowering women globally to live their dreams. She finally decided: why not combine the two????
​
We'll be traveling to a different global destination every year with a badass group of women who want to live their best destinies - and enjoy a life-changing magical vacation in an spectacular location.
