If you’ve found your way to this page, it’s because someone trusted enough to be part of STVPN sent you here.

That’s no small thing.

STVPN isn’t a directory. It’s not a listing site. It’s not another “sign up and cross your fingers” platform.

This is something different.

It’s a hand-selected, invite-only network of retreat leaders, venues, service providers, media partners, and authentic influencers who are actively redefining what it means to build transformational experiences with integrity.

No noise. No pay-to-play. No endless scrolling through unverified options.

Every venue is vetted in person. Every member is chosen with care. Every connection is made with purpose.

It’s a private portal (and upcoming app) where members don’t just showcase what they offer—they’re matched, referred, and directly connected with others who are aligned. No algorithms. No cold outreach. Just intentional collaboration rooted in trust.

Each member receives a private “storefront” that includes:

• A full breakdown of their services
   
• Photos, videos, and marketing assets
   
• Exclusive perks they offer to STVPN members
   
• A personal vetting statement from Marie Hernandez or an STVPN-certified vetting specialist
   

If you’re seeing this, you’re likely someone already aligned with this kind of work—and we’re glad you’re here.

I created STVPN because the retreat industry needed a space where safety, alignment, and genuine care weren’t sacrificed for visibility. After 15+ years traveling on sponsorship, leading retreats across 56 countries, and vetting hundreds of properties, I knew there had to be a better way to connect the right people.

This is it.

If something in your gut says “this feels different”—trust that.

And if you feel like you might be a fit for what we’re building, I’d love to hear from you.
