What folks are saying &

Photos from previous retreats

  • "I recently attended a weekend retreat that felt divinely orchestrated in every way. Each activity, from guided meditations to shared meals, felt purposeful and sacred, creating a container for building authentic connections. The facilitators held space with such care and intention, fostering a genuine sense of community that continues to inspire me beyond the retreat."

  • "And, hold up, do you like FOOD? Honestly, I'm the opposite of a food-ey (can't even spell it) and eat-to-live, and for the majority of time have no other interest in food. But then Kala strolls in with the most epic, unbelievably gourmet meals I've like ever had. It was so crazy good. It was vegan I guess, but so good that anybody's who ever eaten before would have been totally jealous. She even explained how she had literally had a dream of one of the foods she had made (artichoke, cashew, oil mixture spread over bread) so we were like literally getting gourmet food inspired by another dimension lol. Dude the food was off the charts and super healthy and filling. "

  • "Wonderful experience! Brennah and Tree are so welcoming with such love and gentle acceptance of all they encounter. The music provided by Tree combined with the gentle suggestions of poses spoken by Brennah were absolutely incredible to experience! And Brennah's singing was the highlight of my day, if not my life!"

Dropping in with Intention

The Experiences

What you’ll get at this Retreat

Silversmithing

Play with fire and metal with an experienced maker as your guide. You’ll intentionally craft a sterling silver ring with a pretty semi-precious gemstone from scratch! You’ll also create a pair of sterling silver earrings. These two silversmithing workshops are both perfect for beginners.

Gentle Yoga

We celebrate all bodies and backgrounds. With Mud Lotus Arts we move gently while having a conversation with our body. We look inward with intention and feel clean and safe in our space. These are all forms of yoga. Be in the beginners mind with us and see everything as new again. This retreat can be a reset for your self care routine.

Ayurvedic knowledge

Learn about your dosha (unique constitution of elements) and lifestyle shifts you can make for any imbalances you may be experiencing. You’ll create a Tridoshic (good for all doshas) rollerball with high quality essential oils tailored to your energy and intentions. Each time you smell the unique blend you create it will bring you back to your intention.

Candle Making

One way to infuse your home space with some cozy intentions is to add a candle or two! Bonus points if it’s a candle that you made yourself. You’ll make quite a few candles in a playshop on this retreat. You’ll infuse your candles with crystals, flowers, herbs and more.

Plant Medicines

Think essential oils, live local kombucha, adaptogenic “mocktails”, delicious local and deeply nourishing food and more. We believe your food can be your medicine and our food team are on it! Prepare for all sorts of gourmet and high quality plant allies to follow along the journey with us.

Sushi Party

Friday night we will be graced with the delights of Summer’s Sushi! Summer and Blair are partners in business and in life and are both what Summer calls “Sushi Artists”. We will enjoy sushi rolled right in front of us on Friday night. We also get to enjoy the gorgeous loft space, the balcony and the lively evening below on Palafox for gallery night all evening.

Cooking Demos

Enjoy multiple cooking demonstrations to inspire you and awaken your culinary creativity. There will be a focus at this retreat on local food in the gorgeous Spring/Summer season of sooo many fresh options. Prepare to be delighted and deeply nourished throughout your time.

Palafox Market

The premier farmers market in the area, Palafox Market has a host of options for all. We will have a little excursion to the “North Market” as we’ll be very close by. There are eats and drinks along with fresh produce, amazing fungi, artwork, natural skincare, unique crafts of all kinds and a lot of other fun and delicious things.

More

Something magical happens when you say yes to an experience of self care.
