Our Retreat Focus:

Practicing reverence allows us to see the sacred in the mundane and our interconnectedness beyond time and space.  It’s an awakening of deep gratitude and intrinsic joy that enriches our experience of life.

We’ll rekindle the inner knowing of sacredness and interconnectedness by immersing in the local culture, forest-bathing, hiking, physical Yoga, pranayama, meditation, authentic Quechua rituals of gratitude and purification, play, dance, Reiki energy healing, personal and group mindfulness practices and reflection.

Why Michelle's inspired to invite you...

Global travel has been my catalyst for personal discovery and transformation.  I love immersing in down-to-earth cultures that can teach me about open-mindedness, humility, loving nature, the joy of simplicity, living from the heart and respect for diversity.  Ultimately, my adventures abroad have been teachers of conscious wholehearted living, which I continue to learn.

During my past visits to the Peruvian Amazon and Andes, the native Shipibo and Q'ero healers' daily practices of gratitude and reverence deeply impacted me, even years after.  To share in rituals in their homeland with humans who live so consciously connected to Mother Earth and ancient wisdom profoundly shifted my perspective and appreciation of daily life.

Through hosting this retreat in historically and culturally rich parts of Peru steeped in indigenous reverence for nature and humanity, I humbly hope to share ways to enhance your enjoyment of daily life and promote harmony with our planet, each other and yourself.
