Take the time to align with your own natural instincts and intuition, creating the space for your spirit to run wild!

Dreaming requires space, and time. We can’t do this shit in the midst of our schedules and routines, with the external forces and algorithms chiming in every 30 seconds. This week will provide space, calm, movement, community, ocean and sand. It will be a chance to reconnect to the truest parts of your being while also daring to imagine and dream of the shifts and changes that could spark something beautiful going forward. With an emphasis on integration - of breath, of movement, of energy - through journaling and other exercises and play, this will hopefully be the escape you need to embody the wild wonder that is possible.

Rooms are listed as single or double occupancy based on the number of beds in the room. But please note, the rooms with double beds can be reserved by a single person, but there is a slight difference in price.

YOUR TEACHERS

Kathleen

Teaching brings me joy.

I’m a mama of 2, artist, and enjoy exploring this whackadoo life with my kids and family of friends.

I started my journey with yoga at Purusha Yoga studio in San Francisco, CA over a decade ago, but I have been immersed in all kinds of movement since I was a wee little one.

I am a RYT-500 yoga teacher and certified Thai Yoga Bodywork provider. In the yoga community I have served as a teacher, studio manager, and Director of a Yoga Therapy school; teaching thousands of classes, workshops, retreats, and supporting a smattering of yoga teacher trainings.

I love embracing the element of play within the physical practice, and strive to find different approaches to release, knowing not everyone’s “way in” is the same. I have a slight obsession with inversions, arm balances, and supported postures with props and have spent more time then I would like to admit dissecting them and learning how to help others find them in their own bodies. The Thai Yoga Bodywork has really expanded the way I offer assists and adjustments in class, and my continued interest in the philosophy, anatomy, and meditative aspects of yoga will hopefully continue to inform the way I teach forever, with so much still to learn.

My ultimate hope for this retreat would be for every member of this intimate group to walk away refreshed, and feeling connected to a greater sense of themselves and how they want to navigate and greet the world.

TESTIMONIALS

“Kathleen’s spirit, kindness, energy and understanding were given freely and her classes left everyone somehow energized and grounded at the same time. She fostered connection between a group of people where many went on the retreat not knowing anyone else. I would jump on a plane tomorrow and do it all again.” - CA

“There was so much deliberateness in how Kathleen created this retreat and I’m so grateful for all of her care, attention and concern. She was able to pivot with ease and wrangle a dozen people with different needs and backgrounds. I think she made everyone feel like they were her own special guest.” - KB

“I had the privilege of joining Kathleen’s group in Bozeman, Montana. I have done yoga workshops and retreats all over the world and found hers to be one of my favorites. It was the perfect combination of yoga, meditation, rest, delicious food, adventure, and experiencing the wonderful group of women. Kathleen was an exceptional leader, with a special attention to detail. I look forward to more retreats with her!” - RB

“Kathleen’s yoga classes are beautiful. Her presence is welcoming and soothing. Within the first few breaths she gracefully creates a safe place to move, expand your practice or just simply find stillness.” - CP

“It was the perfect place to slow down, breathe, and truly immerse myself in the moment. Every experience felt so intentional, from moving through yoga flows surrounded by nature, to a cheeky little river adventure.” - KK

“I could feel Kathleen’s heart and soul poured into every thoughtful touch and movement. She has an innate ability to hold a safe space where I could let go. The experience left me feeling completely rejuvenated in both body and spirit.” - OC
