about
It's time for your "YOU-cation"
Are you feeling trapped, directionless, or overwhelmed? Do you have a desire to reconnect with yourself and rediscover hope and purpose in your life?
If so, then The Shift Retreat is for you.
You are invited to relax, recharge, and reconnect on this 4-day, 3-night all-inclusive retreat in beautiful South Florida under palm trees and sunny blue skies. It encompasses exactly what you need to bring you back into alignment with yourself and create a shift in your life.
The retreat is a unique blend between mental wellness, personal growth, relaxation, and fun.
The Days At The Shift
Begin and end each day with a guided meditation focusing on emotional releasing, inner child, self-love, and inner worth. Throughout the retreat, you’ll engage in transformative mental health workshops designed to heal, inspire forward movement, and bring clarity to your life. Each workshop is thoughtfully paired with a hands-on project to deepen your experience.
Immerse yourself in nature daily with invigorating yoga sessions at sunrise on the beach and beside a serene pond. Connect with yourself and the other women during our special silent disco session, and experience a profound sound bath led by a local healer.
Indulge in homemade meals prepared by our in-house private chef, and enjoy a variety of outdoor excursions. Participate in fun, interactive activities such as vision board creation, fire-pit fear releasing, kayaking, and fluid painting. You will receive a personalized, rejuvenating facial treatment by a talented esthetician, and have plenty of free time to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Join a small, intimate group of like-minded women in a private, serene location, where you’ll form authentic and lasting connections. This retreat is not just a getaway—it’s a journey toward self-discovery, healing, and profound personal growth.
Leaving The Shift
You will leave the retreat feeling deeply connected to yourself, with a newfound awareness of what has been holding you back and an action plan to achieve your goals. The retreat will equip you with skills and knowledge you can immediately implement in your life.
You will return home feeling enlightened, worthy, full of self-love and renewed energy, with a genuine and authentic support system.
The Foundation
At the heart of this retreat is kindness, comfort, and acceptance. You can come knowing that you will be included, accepted, and comfortable above all else. And, of course, you will have lots of FUN!
