RETREATS
Immersive, Embodied, Transformative
Every Retreat is Custom Curated
Every retreat is designed for wellbeing, transformation, and connection. Great to host among friends, communities, or even as a special solo day, just for yourself. This is not a typical workshop, seminar, paint party, wellness retreat, or standard itinerary. It is a space of presence, creativity, and somatic self expression, crafted uniquely for you or your groups needs.

Seek a creative container for healing, growth, and self discovery
Want to bring fun and energy to your group
Are ready to step away from routine and into imagination
Want a transformational experience that engages your whole being, not just your mind.
The Experience
Fully customized to your needs, desires, and groups goals

Time for adventure, connection, creativity, and authenticity
