A weekend of deep rest, renewal, and reconnection—designed to soothe your nervous system, open your heart, and realign you with the steady, loving core within.

Step away from the noise and into a sanctuary of calm.

The Centered Heart Retreat offers a spacious weekend of healing practices that nurture your mind, body, and spirit. Through breathwork, gentle movement, guided relaxation, meditation, and compassionate connection, you’ll be supported in finding your center and reconnecting to what really matters.

This is your invitation to pause, soften, and tend to yourself in a community of care. Whether you’re feeling depleted, navigating life transitions, or simply longing for deeper peace, this retreat will meet you where you are—with tenderness, wisdom, and love.

Come as you are. Leave with a grounded heart, a clearer mind, and tools to sustain your well-being long after the retreat ends.
