*GENERAL TIMELINE
Each retreat we do offers a little something different, an amazing speaker/healer/ workshop or location based activities, but it is good to know that there are always constants to look forward to. Our goal is to always create an amazing space where you, on arrival will get just what your body/mind need to. There really are no rules and nothing is mandatory - at all.
In general - we do have a framework to jump into. We begin our mornings with guided meditation, have a variety of yoga and fitness classes available ( 2 per day), optional off site excursions, workshops where you can learn something too. It is a full day 7:00am to dinner at 7:00pm of things to do, and plenty of time to do nothing/treat yourself to some spa services or a nap by the pool.
It is good once on retreat, to listen to your body - often times sleeping in, taking a nap a quiet walk or corner with a book is where you will be able to reset, find your true you!! ( the link I send you later will have a 'tentative' timeline that will most likely mold and shape up to the day we arrive on island)
*FOOD!
Good food, properly sourced and well combined is critical to feeling alive and critical to us in hosting you regardless of location. Rest assured, all of our meals are hand crafted, organic, locally sourced plant based offerings from green juice to desserts that will blow your mind. We create properly combined offerings easy to digest, so that from beginning to end we are nourishing you. Opportunities to ask questions, take home recipes, discuss meal prep even the option to pop into the kitchen and assist if that is something you are looking to do! All of your meals are included in your stay. We have an onsite concierege too so if you are interested in visiting local places she will point us in the right direction - the ***Thursday of our trip there is an artist walk downtown Rincon we will enjoy with a lot of fun local food vendors to explore too!
