Retreat Faqs
Welcome. We are looking forward to hosting you at our Luxury Rebalance Retreat. We hope you are looking forward to your experience as much as we are. A few items of note to make this the best experience possible for all involved.
You are an integral part of creating a supportive and beautiful atmosphere for this amazing weekend. The weekend will be an amazing experience but especially if you let go of all expectations and surrender to the moment. This is where magic happens.
We believe that love, light, and laughter are best shared and we intend to create the supportive environment that will allow you to be the open beautiful souls that we know you are.
So don’t be afraid to share the specialness that is you.
