Be Yourself!
A Wellness Retreat for the Mind, Body & Soul
Seek & Shine in collaboration with Devasol Yoga and Allume Retreats would like to invite you to Be Yourself! A Wellness Retreat for the Mind, Body and Soul. To be fully present, we need to learn how to re-connect mentally, physically and spiritually. Understanding and paying attention to what our body is telling us will help us learn how to better support ourselves.

Throughout the retreat you will have the opportunity to connect and network with other women and enjoy food, and refreshments on a beautiful rooftop setting in downtown Long Beach, California. We will have two speaker sessions that are connected with the mind, body and soul. In addition, we will have a few vendors, specifically selected with you in mind that will continue to provide physical and mental support beyond the retreat. We will close out the day with a relaxing yoga and sound healing that will focus on slow movements, meditation and breathing.

Join us and together we can be the best version of ourselves!
