Women's Camping Retreat: Anza Borrego Desert State Park

Getting outdoors and camping is a huge part of my personal approach to feeling good, physically and mentally. This retreat combines the amazing restorative power of nature with wellness for women (& those who identify as women). If you love camping, or want to experience camping with an expert without all the work, this retreat is for you!


On this amazing weekend you'll be free to get away, unplug, learn new skills, hike, meditate, nap, read, journal and so much more! We will move, learn, eat delicious meals, and just be. Throughout we will connect with ourselves, each other, and nature.
