Invocation Healing Arts & Retreats Announces The Next Chapter: Now Exclusively for Women

Woman-owned. Women-led. Created for women.

ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO — August 15, 2026 — Invocation Healing Arts & Retreats, a healing and transformation practice founded by artist, author, spiritual teacher, and healing practitioner Patricia Stellamares, is entering a new chapter: Invocation Retreats are now exclusively dedicated to women.

After years of working with clients across a range of backgrounds, Stellamares has chosen to devote her practice to creating deeply personal healing experiences specifically for women. Invocation offers remote 1:1 coaching worldwide and private, in-person retreats in New Mexico, Chicago, and San Francisco.

“After years of asking myself who it is that I'm here to serve, I finally got my answer loud and clear." says Stellamares. “As of today I am, choosing to devote my practice exclusively to women."

A Different Kind of Healing Experience

Invocation Retreats was created for women who have already invested in their healing and are ready for something deeper. "We cater bespoke experiences for women healing from child abuse, profound abuse, neurobetter in a neurolimited world, highly sensitive burnout, divorce, breakup, big life transitions.

Many of Stellamares’ clients have spent years in therapy, attended healing retreats, explored plant medicine, worked with practitioners, and developed a deep understanding of their own patterns. Invocation Retreats offers another possibility: a private, highly personalized environment where healing does not have to happen on someone else’s timeline.

Rather than positioning healing as something done to a person, Invocation Retreats centers the belief that each woman is her own greatest healer. Stellamares serves as a guide, creating intentional spaces for creative, somatic, spiritual, ritual, and intuitive exploration.

The practice is particularly focused on supporting women healing from profound trauma, navigating major life transitions, and seeking deeper connection with themselves after years of personal growth work. We are here especially for the women who are dedicated to breaking generational cycles, for those who have tried so many things and know that they could live better. More free.

Woman-Owned. Women-Led. Women-Only.

Invocation is intentionally built around women—not simply as clients, but as the center of the experience.

Woman-owned. Women-led. Women-only.

Stellamares is committed to creating spaces where women can experience healing without having to perform, accommodate, explain, or make themselves smaller. Her retreats are designed to be intimate, private, nourishing, and deeply personal.

Private retreats are available as 1–4 day experiences, primarily as 1:1 immersions, with the option to invite women the client loves and trusts.

In addition to private retreats, Invocation Retreats offers limited small women's gatherings four times each year for Highly Sensitive, Empaths & Neurospicy women.

Rooted in Art, Ancestry, and Lived Experience

Stellamares brings an intentionally unconventional approach to healing. A UC Berkeley alumna and former high-performing corporate professional, she left her corporate career to devote herself to healing, art, writing, and spiritual practice.

Her training and studies include trauma healing through touch at McKinnon Body Therapy Institute in Oakland, personal healing coaching, psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration, autism coaching, and traditional Northern New Mexico healing practices.

Her work is also deeply informed by her spiritual lineage and personal experience.

“My education has never been one-dimensional,” says Stellamares. “Some of my deepest teachers could never have given me a certificate. I’ve been guided by my grandmothers, my ancestors, my teachers, my intuition, and the experiences that have shaped me. I believe healing is just as multidimensional as we are.”

Invocation Retreats extend this philosophy into every aspect of the experience—from the healing work itself to nourishing meals, art, music, ritual, nature, and the creation of a space where women can feel genuinely cared for.

A New Chapter for Invocation Retreats

This shift marks a deeper commitment to the women Stellamares feels called to serve.

“This isn't about fixing women,” says Stellamares. “It's about creating the safest conditions for women to surrender, create, and dream again.”

Invocation Healing Arts & Retreats is currently accepting applications for private 1:1 retreats, remote coaching, and upcoming women's gatherings.
