EmpowerHER
Reclamation Retreat
Bucay, Ecuador
July 24-29th, 2025
Meet your Host,
Laura Kazimer
Laura is the founder of Divine Emergence, LLC, and has been hosting and co-hosting transformative workshops, retreats, and ceremonies for several years. She specializes in trauma-informed breathwork, psychedelic-assisted therapies (including 5-MeO-DMT and psilocybin), and immersive healing/educational retreats.
Laura has also coached hundreds of breath work facilitators and retreat hosts with Awakened Breath and last year, she created EmpowerHER—a women’s community designed to offer connection, clarity, and support.
Most recently, Laura partnered with a beautiful retreat space in Ecuador, where she plans to host an ongoing series of transformative retreats and help others do the same.
EmpowerHER is for women who are just beginning their healing or spiritual journey and want a warm, grounded space to explore it all. Think: new age blended with ancient wisdom—digestible, real, and deeply supportive.
What to Expect
Here at Chakaruna 11:11, everything will be taken care of from the moment you arrive in Guayaquil, to the time you head back.
We will pick you up from the airport and bring you to our beautiful property, where your journey begins. From the lush surroundings to the thoughtfully curated spaces, you’ll immediately feel the warmth and tranquility of this sacred place.
Settle into your cozy accommodations and take in the stunning natural beauty around you. Our dedicated team will make sure you feel at home, so you can fully immerse yourself in the transformative experience ahead.
Throughout your stay, we’ll provide nourishing meals, guided practices, and plenty of space to connect with yourself and others on the same path. From group activities to personal reflection time, every moment is designed to support your healing and growth.
When it’s time to say goodbye, we’ll ensure your journey back to Guayaquil is just as seamless and supported as your arrival.
Private Land with a Private Maloca
This beautiful private land offers a serene and secluded experience, featuring cozy private rooms and an exclusive maloca. Surrounded by nature, it's an ideal space to reconnect, recharge, and retreat in peace with all of the elements.
Tour of Seven Different Waterfalls
We will be touring seven different waterfalls and collecting water from each. Each one represents a different chakra. This is part of our reclamation process—a powerful journey of reconnecting with the elements, our bodies, and our truth.
Lifelong Connections
You weren’t meant to walk this path alone. When powerful women come together in retreat, something incredible happens. Together, we rise higher, love deeper, and reclaim the parts of ourselves that were never lost—they were just waiting to be witnessed.

Accommodations
Chakaruna 11:11 is a magical sanctuary surrounded by nature, where every room is intentionally designed to awaken your spirit.
Each space tells a story—painted with vibrant art, sacred symbols, and natural textures that invite reflection, inspiration, and deep connection. From the cozy corners where you can curl up with a journal to the open communal spaces where stories flow freely, every detail is crafted to nurture you!
The maloca, at the heart of this sacred space, holds hand-painted art woven with stories of transformation and renewal. It’s a place where deep connection and processing naturally unfold, whether you’re engaging in a guided practice, sharing insights with others, or simply sitting in quiet contemplation.
Here, the spirit of the land and the intention behind every space come together to support your journey of reclamation!
Reflections from beautiful, empowered women.
Last year I found myself in Tulum, out of my comfort zone and ready to do the work on the retreat. Laura is not only a breathwork facilitator; she’s a medicine woman, a friend, a guide, a facilitator, a healer and so much more. She led us through ceremonies with plant medicine. Her voice is powerful and as she leads you through your journey you feel safe and comfortable. And she knows exactly when you need one on one attention. She has a gift. To experience her in a retreat setting is the best investment you could make for yourself. I’d do it all over again!

Breathwork has transformed my life for the better. Doing this in a safe space with you has allowed me to live my most authentic and delicious life. I am going through subtle transformations everyday but I am now married to my breath. This work has brought me eternal peace that talk therapy never could. Attending the empower her events have also brought me out of my shell significantly and I have felt a deeper connection with all women around me at all times because of breath work and especially because of the events. Super grateful every day ❤️

Working with Laura as my breathwork and plant medicine facilitator at a recent retreat was a deeply healing and transformative experience. Her grounded presence immediately made me feel safe, seen, and held. The space she creates is intimate and sacred, allowing for true vulnerability. She is deeply curious and compassionate, always seeking to understand and support your healing journey. I felt her genuine desire to help me move past old traumas. During a particularly intense plant medicine journey, her attentiveness never wavered. She was right there with me—calm, grounded, and fully present. Her support helped me move through some of the most difficult moments with trust. I never felt alone in the process. Laura is a gifted guide, and I’m deeply grateful for the experience.
