About
Where Story Becomes Ceremony
The House of Story Medicine was born from the belief that our stories have the power to heal, connect, and transform.
Located in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, it is an intimate retreat sanctuary where women gather to slow down, reconnect, and experience the sacred beauty of Mexico beyond tourism.
Here, story is more than something we tell.
Story becomes ceremony.
Through meaningful conversations, cultural immersion, creativity, ritual, nature, and sacred sisterhood, women are invited to rediscover themselves and the wisdom already living within their own lives.
Founded by publisher, author, and storyteller Julie Ann, The House of Story Medicine represents the evolution of more than seventeen years spent helping people share their stories and find meaning through transformation.
Emotionally Transformative Retreats
Immersive experiences rooted in story, sacred connection, cultural wisdom, and the beauty of authentic Mexico.
Story Medicine Writing Retreats
Creative journeys that help women explore memory, meaning, legacy, and the stories waiting to be told.
Collaborative Retreat Partnerships
Thoughtfully curated experiences created alongside retreat leaders and facilitators from around the world.
At the heart of it all is a simple belief:
Every story matters.
Every story deserves to be witnessed.
And every story has the power to heal.
Authentic, intimate, soulful Mexico.
