Workshops and retreats are where many of these threads come together: movement, personal inquiry, nature, ritual, relationship, play, reflection, and practice.
Some gatherings are a few hours. Others unfold over several days. The format changes, but the intention is similar — to create a supportive space where people can slow down, listen more closely, experiment honestly, and bring what they discover back into everyday life.
Private Wellness Retreats
POSSIBLE RETREAT ELEMENTS
S.L.O. Motion, yoga interplay + qigong
plant medicine preparation, navigation + integration
mindfulness, meditation + breathwork
nutrition, meal rhythm + practical wellness foundations
nature, walking, rest + quiet
bodywork
journaling, creativity + personal inquiry
ceremony, ritual + prayer
an integration / re-entry plan for taking the work home
Sometimes the most useful thing is to step out of the normal rhythm long enough to hear yourself again.
I design private wellness retreats for individuals, couples, families, friends, and small groups who want a more personal immersion than a one-size-fits-all program. A day, a long weekend, or a full week can be built around your needs, location, season of life, and intention.
Depending on the retreat, we may weave together S.L.O. Motion, yoga, qigong, breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, nature, nutrition, rest, journaling, ritual, personal inquiry, bodywork, and plant medicine preparation, navigation support, and integration. Where plant medicine is part of the experience, the work is held within the legal and ethical context of the location and in collaboration with the qualified or traditional practitioners involved.
I’m interested in creating a rhythm that has enough structure to support the work and enough space for life to happen. Morning movement. Nourishing food. Time outside. Quiet. Conversation. Practice. A nap if a nap is what the body requests. Maybe a little ceremony. Maybe a lot of laughter.
These are not cookie-cutter spa packages. They can absolutely be restorative and pleasurable, but the deeper intention is to create conditions for listening, learning, reconnecting, and returning to life with something you can actually use.
We can build the retreat around one clear theme — movement, vitality, integration, transition, relationship, spiritual practice — or create a wider personal wellness immersion.
Private Movement Immersions
Who might hire this?
a small group of friends on a shared trip or retreat
a family that wants an active wellness component to time together
a retreat host who wants movement woven through an existing program
a yoga studio or teacher training looking for movement interplay
a leadership / creative team that wants something embodied rather than another meeting-room workshop
an intimate community that wants several days to go deeper than a single class allows
Bring me in for a day, a long weekend, or a week and let’s get a small group moving.
A private movement immersion can be the main event or one part of a larger retreat, family gathering, team off-site, training week, vacation, or wellness experience. We can keep it focused and practical or make it a deeper dive into S.L.O. Motion — Somatic, Locomotive and Organic.
Depending on the group, sessions may include qigong, yoga interplay, natural movement, mobility, balance, coordination, getting up and down from the ground, breathwork, playful partner work, nervous-system awareness, and the simple skills that help us feel more capable and at home in our bodies.
The schedule can be simple: one strong workshop. Or we can create a rhythm across several days — morning practice, shorter movement bursts during the day, recovery and breath sessions, and time to integrate what the body is learning.
This works especially well for small groups because I can adapt the material to the people actually standing in front of me.
Come as you are. We’ll move from there.

A reconnection with nature helps us create a sacred eco-system, an entangled relationship that asks us to go beyond the
perceived divide of inner and outer work - it calls us to reaffirm our responsibility to one another and
to the intricate web of life.
