Gentle Reconnection

Step away from the noise of daily life and return to yourself through slow mornings, grounding practices, movement, nature, and intentional spaciousness. This retreat prioritizes emotional grounding, clarity, healing, and genuine transformation — creating room for deep personal exploration without force or intensity.

Intimate Community

Guided by Bearheart, Pyasa, Vistara, and Paolo with deep integrity and care. You will experience meaningful conversations, shared ceremonies, and genuine human connection in a private, supportive setting. This is a space where vulnerability is welcomed and authentic relationships can form.

Sacred Sanctuary

Immerse yourself in Temazcal ceremonies, optional individual ceremonies, integration circles, and transformative practices such as TRE and Rebar Bending, all held in a beautiful, secluded oceanfront sanctuary designed for rest and reconnection.

Special Practices & Activities

TRE

TRE is a somatic practice that activates the body's own innate mechanism for releasing deep muscular tension, stress, and stored trauma - through therapeutic tremoring, aka shaking. These gentle, involuntary tremors move through the body from the core outward, unwinding patterns of tension held in the nervous system - often for years - bringing with them relief from chronic stress and anxiety, reduced physical pain, deeper sleep, and a growing sense of ease, presence, and inner safety bringing greater emotional resilience and a feeling of being more fully at home in your own body. TRE is a natural companion to medicine work - supporting the nervous system in integrating what the medicine opens, helping insights land more deeply and lasting change to take root.

Rebar Bending

Rebar Bending - thick, industrial steel - will bend at the meeting point of two people's focused intention, trust, and shared energy. Not through force. Through something that lives beneath the surface of ordinary awareness, waiting to be called forward. In this workshop you will bend it with your throat - through nothing more than focused energy, clear intention, and trust in something greater than what the mind insists is possible. This is not a performance. It is a revelation - a reminder, in your body, of what becomes available when you stop believing your own limitations. This practice is a physical portal into the deeper work of the retreat. The same presence required to bend steel is the same presence available to you in every moment of transformation - and once you've felt it, you cannot unfeel it.

Aerial Arts

Learn to trust your body and fly with me (Miranda Renee Webb). I am a strong believer that anyone with hands and a mindset to do it can do aerial arts. I intend to offer sessions teaching those interested with trapeze or with the aerial hammock, a very beginner friendly form of the silks. No prior experience required, just a desire to tap in to your inner child and discover your true strength.

Temazcal

Go deep, return to the womb and learn who you really are by engaging in traditional temazcal ceremony guided by Vistara. Test the outer limits of your ability to connect with mind and body in a Mexican sweat lodge and connect truly with your inner hidden strength. Emerge stronger, physically and emotionally cleaner and reborn within from the earthen womb.

Daily Yoga

Start each day with a strengthening flow that has the perfect blend of flexibility and strength to build the perfect stable foundation for each day. Surprise yourself and connect with your body to find balance, peace and strength all in the same place with yoga sessions guided by Vistara. These sessions are beloved and famous within our community because of Vistara and also because of the beautiful beach side yoga shala where you will practice with the sound of strong ocean waves in the distance.

Optional Ceremony Opportunities

Guided by our while team of facilitators and medicine people, engage in truly unique and game changing ceremonial experiences to open your mind, heart and begin to heal old and new wounds. Our team has a basis in trauma support combined with ancient medicinal practices that allow you to make years of therapeutical work in a much shorter time span. Our diverse range of facilitators allow you to customize the experience based on your needs.
