wellness Retreats
Sometimes the deepest healing doesn't happen in fifty-minute increments. It happens when you step away — from your routine, your noise, your roles — and give yourself uninterrupted space to actually arrive.
My retreats are built for that. Whether you're coming alone or bringing your team, we create a container for deep, intentional work in a short amount of time — the kind of shift that can take months to reach in weekly sessions.
Perfect for: Those determined to do deep work in a short amount of time.

How It Works

Day OneArrive & Meet
As everyone arrives, we take time to settle in, get comfortable, and begin connecting with those around us. The journey starts here.

Day TwoSet Intentions & Temazcal
Together, we pause to consider our goals, hopes, and direction. This is about aligning with ourselves and with the journey ahead. This is a chance to reconnect with what brought you here—your questions, your hopes, your turning points—and consider how they’ve shifted or deepened. It is your opportunity to think through where, how and why you would like to Expand.Once we get an opportunity to clarify our intentions, we step into the Temazcal– a low-heat sauna– for relaxation and cleansing that will further prepare the group for the medicine on Day Three, and allow all to connect on a profound level.
Day ThreeAncestral Journey & reflection
Be ready to experience deep and supported emotional healing, spiritual reconnection, expansion of the mind and meaningful integration with fellow spiritual beings, through ancient Mazatec ceremony.Explore the intentions you set the day before and expand your mind and body to the messages and insights the medicine has for you.
Day FourIntegration & Connection

A space to share your journey and begin to gather insights and realizations. You will be learning grounding practices to help you return to “The Real World”.An exciting full moon ceremony and dance before the night ends.
