About This Retreat
Spring is the season of the blossom — not forced, not rushed, but inevitably, breathtakingly transformative. This retreat invites you to take a sacred pause, step out of the grip of what holds you back and into the fullness of who you are.

At the center of most human suffering is a knot — a belief, a fear, a pattern so familiar we have stopped questioning it. Buddhism calls this suffering dukkha. Psychiatry calls it a schema. We simply call it the thing that gets in the way of flourishing and living as your most authentic self.

In this intimate gathering of 20 participants, we will ask: What is the knot at the center of your struggle? What is the kryptonite to your superpower? What do you most deeply desire — beneath obligation, beneath fear? And most importantly: what liberates the knot?

Weaving threads of psychiatry, mindfulness, Buddhist wisdom, movement, sacred ceremony, deep conversation, journaling, and sound healing, you will leave lighter, freer, and more aligned with your intention and authenticity.
