  • This is a highly-active experience as we’ll be moving each day! Each session was created to give you a tailored experience which requires physical activities like yoga, embodiment, dancing, and walking around the premises to get you in touch with your beautiful sentient self!

    However, please let us know if you have any physical restrictions and we’ll do our best to accommodate or modify as needed. We are right in the heart of a tropical oasis so please remember to keep an open mind, adventurous spirit, and an attitude of gratitude throughout our time together (especially in regards to bugs and the elements). This will make a more pleasant experience for all of us😊

    THAT BEING SAID…

    Activities are NOT mandatory! Each experience has been tailored to cultivate clarity, peace, and transformation as well as to support your personal journey toward pleasurable living and the lifestyle changes you desire. Rest & relaxation are built into the schedule too. However, you know you best! You are a sovereign being and can say NO to any of our planned activities at any time! Note: No monetary credits will be given for opting out.

    On a separate note, although participation isn’t mandatory, we do advise you engage as this is how you, and those who show up, can grow. By pushing past your comfort level, you will be amazed at how much you can contribute to the collective and to yourself!

    For our community to thrive, we all need to participate by showing up, sharing, and commenting.

    By joining this Retreat, you agree to be yourself and contribute to our group's energy. Bring your intentions for connection and share what you'd like to receive to help our community grow.
