Your Mind Body Reset
One sacred day to rest, breathe, and come back to life
Life on Long Island moves fast. For many of us, rushing, tension, and constant doing have become the norm. But living in survival mode quietly drains our health, our joy, and the deeper energies we need to feel truly alive. This is not how we were meant to live, and there is a way out.
This one-day retreat is a reset for your mind, body and nervous system. Through yoga, mindfulness practices, soul talks, sound healing with world-renowned musicians, nature walks by the Long Island Sound, fireside rest, and nourishing meals, expect to experience profound states of deep relaxation, peace, connection, openness, an overall sense of wellbeing and a fresh new perspective about yourself and your life.
Everything You Need to Come Home to Yourself
Step away from the busyness of Long Island life and settle into stillness. This full day retreat invites you to unwind, reconnect and restore through yoga, breathwork, music, nature, and community... all in a peaceful, nourishing space by the sea.
