Discover the Magic of Christmas by Rail: Rome • Munich • Paris Noël
Unwrap the Holiday Spirit with an Enchanting 8-Day European Getaway!
Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with our 2026 Holiday Train Experience – “Holiday by Rail” — a once-in-a-lifetime journey through the heart of Europe.
Your adventure begins in Rome, where cobblestone streets glow under twinkling holiday lights. Enjoy a festive welcome aperitivo, explore timeless landmarks like Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, and soak in the warmth and wonder of Italy’s Christmas charm.
Then, step aboard the overnight train to Munich, drifting through the scenic landscapes of Tuscany and the snow-dusted Tyrolean Alps as you dine and dream your way north.
Awaken to the crisp Alpine air and the sparkle of Munich’s Marienplatz Christmas Market, where wooden chalets overflow with festive treasures — roasted chestnuts, spiced mulled wine, handmade ornaments, and Bavarian specialties. Enjoy optional group dinners or leisurely strolls through one of Europe’s most magical holiday cities.
We continue our journey with a 4-day Paris Noël experience, traveling via Strasbourg, the “Capital of Christmas.” Wander through its enchanting market — a centuries-old tradition of lights, music, and festive treats — before arriving in the City of Lights itself.
In Paris, delight in holiday highlights from Montmartre to the Champs-Élysées, enjoy a day trip to the illuminated Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, and savor the elegance of fine French pâtisseries, gourmet shops, and holiday markets overflowing with art, gifts, and seasonal delights.
Whether sipping vin chaud by the Seine or savoring a croissant in a Parisian café, this unforgettable journey will fill your heart — and your holiday — with magic.

What participants have shared from a Soul Sparkle Experience:
"My experience on this retreat has been absolutely incredible and life changing. I had no idea what to expect or what I was even doing signing up for this. At times before I felt such a wide range of emotions including fear, doubt, anxiety and apprehension.
I’d never gone to a retreat before and especially one where I did not know anyone. This was so out of character for me! I came with an open heart and open soul, willing to receive whatever was here waiting for me and receive I did.
During the last five days I have truly landed with and accepted that I am willing to d whatever it takes to live my dreams and that I am deserving of doing so.
I have increased my value and self worth to a level I have never felt before. I trust in this process and see the results from it already. Our time in meditation and session has transformed how I feel and value myself and how I life my life. I have felt so loved, supported and inspired by my experience here.
I’ve felt nothing but love and support the whole time I’ve been here. The environment and space they created has been safe, sacred and incredibly caring. They value each of us greatly for who we are and what we bring and for that I am forever grateful.
I have learned valuable spiritual practices and have raised my self awareness and spiritual openness to a whole new and powerful level. I am leaving with a newfound sense of self, a deeper understanding of my own self worth and a roadmap for my future and lifelong sisters.
I will forever cherish my time here and I can’t wait to reunite again on a future retreat! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for allowing the space for me to see and discover the life I have always wanted to live!" Cristina Rodriguez, California USA
“If there was a true life version of Glenda, the good witch, a bringer of joy and light ... I think it would be this woman. I had the pleasure of meeting her this weekend and she is truly a gift on this earth. If you're struggling with inner peace, loving yourself, or just need someone to lift you up, let this beautiful woman brighten your day. She changed my entire outlook on life and freed me from the burden I've been carrying for almost seven years... blaming God for taking Kathryn from me and not answering my prayers to save her. That's a lot of heaviness to carry. Now I accept with gratitude that he CHOSE me to do good for others through this painful experience and I am thankful that this is my life mission.”
This has been a beautiful experience that I would recommend to anyone who wants to get their sparkle back! This has been a remarkable weekend!

“A transformative, inspirational weekend surrounded by beautiful souls. It was a blessing to see each of these women blossom into their strength and express their fears and desires in life. I come away with deep new friendships and focus on what I want in my life to be my happiest self. Thank you for helping my sparkle shine bright!
— Love, Kris // Iowa
“My experience at Soul Sparkle Ojai has been life changing. It is hard to put into words the love and connection I felt to a group of women I just met. I was able to face some of my fears (some just realized) and to dream of a life I desire. I feel this is just a step into becoming and learning the person I was destined to become. The leaders here are so knowledgeable and so willing to share their wealth of knowledge with us. I would highly recommend this weekend for all women. You will make new friends that will last a life time, who will support you in whatever you do. Thank you to all the leaders and lovely ladies!
— Sue Anderson // Arizona
“For the first time EVER, I have truly shared and truly connected to a group of women. Our group truly respected and communicated and shared at our deepest level in our deepest souls. The outcome is Soul Sparkle and sparkle they do! I thank you for this experience, it was truly transformative for me. With much sparkling love!
— Cyndi // Ohio
“Being a part of the Soul Sparkle weekend was like having a slumber party with 20 best friends you never knew you had. The connection with each other was immediate and the commonality among us all was uncanny. We played, we laughed, we cried, we danced, and we were loved until our souls sparkled.

“This was a wonderful event, for myself but not alone. I loved this group of women and it would not have been the same without a single one of them.

“It was an incredible setting and an incredible group of women. The weekend just sort of unfolded slowly into the experience it became. I really feel you introduced us slowly to the “unpeeling” of the things that were dimming our sparkle and keeping each of us from becoming the women we were meant to be. The “sparkle of my life” was definitely missing in my life and I am now on my way to grabbing it for my life!
