RETREATS
Realign, rediscover, & replenish with Wonder.
Bewonderment is found at the edge of things. Our retreats invite you to explore the edges of your consciousness and reacquaint yourself with Bewonderment while building a toolkit of resources you can take home.
Our principles
SHAKE IT UP.
When we step away from our routines, we often see ourselves and the world through new eyes. We structure our programs to allow you to unwind and uncover parts of yourself that have perhaps laid dormant.
BASK IN WONDER.
The world around us has great wisdom to share when we allow ourselves to unfold into it. We choose awe-inspiring locations that allow for long moments of stillness, invite childlike curiosity, and stretch our minds and bodies.
SUSTAIN IT.
Integrating what we learn from the retreat experience into our day to day existence is a crucial part of our process. Therefore, we won’t just focus on creating a wondrous retreat, but building a storehouse of resources to take home.
HOW IT WORKS
Each retreat follows a similar arc.
Regardless of the length or subject matter, our retreats follow three steps.
1. BEGIN
We begin easing into our environment, finding safety and connection. Growth and development happen when we have a secure base and trusted connection, so we won’t skip this vital step.
2. JOURNEY
We then start to gain elevation in our journey through exploring what is just outside our comfort zone with practices and prompts.
A sample day: 90-minute mindfulness/creativity/journaling session followed by a hike, a tarot reading or beach exploration. While you’re adventuring, you’ll have a mini-bewonderment practice to weave into your day. At day’s end, you’ll reconnect with the group for a short session, and then enjoy a meal together.
3. THE SUMMIT
You’ve spent dedicated time reconnecting to yourself and reigniting Bewonderment. We believe it’s crucial to honor our experience with ritual, and create a pathway to take this state of Bewonderment back to our daily life. We’ll create a ritual to witness each group’s growth.
A sample ritual: A bonfire honoring that which we’ve released and the new starts were nourishing. We’ll witness each other’s growth with celebration and belly laughs!
