When you're used to moving fast, thinking constantly, carrying responsibility, and giving a lot of yourself to your work and the people around you, it can be hard to truly slow down and reconnect with yourself.

Aliveness Day Retreats create space to step out of your usual rhythm for a day. To slow down, get out of your head and back into your body. Move, breathe, feel, express, connect, laugh, rest, and reconnect with yourself.

We bring together somatic movement and dance, play, breathwork, live sound healing, voice and singing, ritual and reflection, nourishing food, and authentic connection with other women, all held in a beautiful Bay Area setting.

These experiences are designed to leave you feeling calmer, more grounded, clearer, more open-hearted, energized, connected, and more like yourself.

Day retreats happen a few times a year and are intentionally intimate. Waitlist members hear first.
