We’re beyond excited to co-create this experience with you!

  • Most importantly, a creative and open spirit.

    Also, bathing suits are required and bring your most comfortable or fashionable robe to wear in areas outside the main spa floor.

    Towels and everything else bath house related will be provided.

  • Yes, just be sure to reach out to a host for confirmation! This experience has a limited capacity and we want to ensure everyone arrives with an intention and desire to participate fully.

  • No phones, no posts, no socials.

    To create something truly unique and preserve presence, we want to let this retreat evolve on it’s own island before exposing it to the outer digital continent (if ever).

    Analog tools will be provided to document insights, connections and exchange contact information throughout the journey.

  • You asked for it ;)

    Expect an ambiance designed to feel both nourishing and social. This is an experience that leans into organically connecting with yourself and others, without pressure, performance, or distraction.

    Here are some principles we had in mind when bringing this concept to life:

    • the people make the place: bringing the right people together is the foundation for magic to unfold.

    • challenge by choice: leaving the comfort zone in a way that facilities growth for each individual.

    • offline is the new luxury: enhance presence, trust and sacred energy; no phones, digital media / public posts about the retreat.

    • walk away with something worth sharing: an insight, story, relationship and beyond… upon leaving, a door to something new was opened.

    • co-creation: artists should be welcomed as guests and vice versa. The skills and interests of all involved should align with the value this retreat provides and overtime those who express intrigue will be invited to help co-create and lead the experience. The vision is a self-sustaining and fluid community of guests and artists which makes each subsequent retreat easier to host than the previous.

    On that last note, see the question below for more information.

  • Come to one of our retreats and let’s have a chat or feel free to reach out to a host directly.
