Address: 9104 S Brittany Path Inverness, FL 34452

Our vision for 2027 was to bring you more nature, experience, and community into our retreats. We are thrilled to announce this extra special, all inclusive trip we've planned for you. This retreat venue is gorgeous, so special, and was recommended to us by many.

The retreat will begin on Monday, February 15th at 4:00 PM with an opening circle. Please plan to arrive by 3:00 PM, so we can start right at 4:00 PM. The retreat will conclude at 12:00 PM on Thursday, February 18th. Please plan your travel accordingly.

Our Retreat Intention

We'll be immersing ourselves in nature while diving into daily Fascia Release and energy medicine practices designed to open our hearts, restore balance, transform our energy, and create a positive shift in our lives.

We invite you to reconnect with your body's natural ability to heal, release physical and emotional tension, and let go of the stories, energies, and patterns that no longer serve you. Through Fascia Release, energy healing, sound healing, nature immersion, and so much more, we'll work together to continue to move into love and away from fear.

This is a safe and sacred space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Leave feeling lighter, deeply restored, and renewed, with improved body function, greater freedom of movement, and a deeper connection to your mind, body, and spirit.

*This is a healing retreat. This retreat is for all those who want to heal and release their “pain bodies.” This retreat invites all those who have “issues in their tissues,” diseases, and dysfunctions that keep them from living their best life. Please know that you will be releasing everything that is not of love from your body, mind, and spirit’s system.
