with guest appearance by Schuyler GrantÂ
Presented by
Topanga, CA // October 9-11, 2026
Welcome to Radical Radiance, a women's retreat where cutting-edge science on hormones and the nervous system meets the body's deep intelligence. Co-led by Dr. Mariza Snyder, bestselling author and women's hormone expert, and Lauren Roxbourgh, somatic movement pioneer and fascia educator, this retreat gives you the tools, practices, and embodied wisdom to meet the shifts of midlife with energy, resilience, and radiant aliveness.
This retreat includes:
- Three immersive movement sessions with Lauren exploring the science of fascia, bioelectricity, and somatic intelligence
- Daily lectures and Q&As with Dr. Mariza covering hormones, metabolism, brain health, stress physiology, and the nervous system
- A bonus vinyasa yoga class with Schuyler Grant
- Space for hikes, hammock time, journaling, and contrast bathing (hot & cold therapy)
- Healthy, organic food prepared by our Commune retreat chef
By the end of the retreat, you'll leave with a full-body Fascia Flow practice you can do anywhere, new ideas for daily rhythms and rituals, and a sense of what it would feel like to actually stop fighting your body through midlife.
Plus: You'll be able to ask Dr. Mariza and Lauren questions in the Luminescence Community both before and after the retreat.

3:30pm–4:30pm: The Silent Shift — Talk with Dr. Mariza Snyder
What is actually happening in your brain, hormones, and metabolism:Â Midlife is a biological turning point, not a decline. Dr. Mariza unpacks the "silent shift" happening beneath the surface, including brain fuel utilization, neurotransmitter changes, why stress hits harder now, and how modern lifestyle amplifies hormonal and metabolic dysfunction. This is physiology, not a personal failure.
4:30pm–6:00pm: Your Body Is the Oracle — Movement Session with Lauren
Lauren introduces the weekend's foundational philosophy: the shift from mind leading body to body leading mind, grounded in the science of fascia as your richest sensory organ. Through somatic practices, you will begin to understand why you have felt disconnected and what it means to feel your way back home.

12:00pm–1:00pm: Restore Your Rhythm — Talk with Dr. Mariza Snyder
Restoring Energy, Regulation, and Vitality in Midlife: Dr. Mariza covers why women feel exhausted, wired, inflamed, and depleted, and how stress physiology, blood sugar instability, and nervous system overload impact energy, mood, and sleep. Learn simple practices to support your energy and gain a deeper understanding of how to work with your body rather than against it.

Our PlaygroundÂ
At the end of the end of the end of a road, perched atop a remote valley of the Santa Monica mountains, sits Topanga Commune: 10 acres of meandering paths, oak trees, palms and gardens abutting state land. You won’t believe you are less than an hour from the heart of LA.
The property has a main house, a guest house, four tea house private rooms, three sweet A-Frame cabins, and plenty of space for camping. Sleep on organic mattresses and linens and enjoy the bounty of LA’s best local farmers for every home-cooked meal.
The property also has a sauna, hot tub, plunge pool, basketball, badminton, and a plethora of hammocks.
Songwriter Neil Young lived on this property for many years and was deeply inspired by this magical spot. If there is anywhere in the world to find “a heart of gold,” it may be here.
“I want to live, I want to give. I've been a miner for a heart of gold. It's these expressions I never give that keep me searching for a heart of gold.”
~Â Neil Young
