Seasons of Change: An Autumn Retreat

October 28th-30th | Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort, Avila Beach, CA
A two night retreat to pause, reflect, and reconnect!

As the Autumn season invites us to slow down, gather what has grown, and gently let go of what no longer serves us, we'll spend time enjoying reflection, movement, nourishment, and meaningful connection. Set against the backdrop of Sycamore's lush gardens, mineral-rich waters, and peaceful natural landscapes, this Seasons of Change immersive retreat is designed to help you step out of the busyness of everyday life and into a slower, more intentional rhythm.

This retreat is for those who would like to...

→ step away from the noise and into nature

→ nourish your mind and body

→ reflect on where you've been and make room for where you're going

→ gather with good people, share beautiful meals, move your body, and create space for something new

Over the course of the retreat, we'll explore the themes of change, cultivation, inner harvest, and growth through soulful workshops, mindful practices, and actionable plans that will empower you on your journey. Come as you are. Leave with a little more clarity and a deeper connection to yourself and the season you're in.

“The Two Life Coaches were both authentic, vulnerable, and AWESOME! The sessions were well planned and they guided us to be able to really look at ourselves and then determine next steps to get unstuck. They gave us tools to use when we left the retreat - to make the learning and the experience not only meaningful but useful!!! Thank you both!!! It was great to be part of experiencing ‘ah-ha moments’ and growth - both my own and that of other participants!!!!! I liked the exercise we did at the beach too - it was fun and creative!”
