About Retreats & Workshops

Life is short.  So it’s very important to use your time here wisely.  You are designed to evolve and you have everything you need to make this happen.

That said, it’s nice to feel supported and helped along the way.  Which is why a retreat or workshop might be just what you need!

Our retreats and workshops include some foundational components including:

~ Natural Setting: Mystic Ridge is designed to be a comfortable rustic setting ideal for resting and recharging.

~ Nourishing Meals: Workshops and retreats include nourishing plant based recipes to support your body.

~ Enriching Content: Topics focus on self-improvement and wellness.  Choose one that assists you with your current inner work.

~ Community: Meet other like minded individuals who are embarking on their own journeys.  There is a synergy that is unique to each retreat and workshop!

~ Self-Reflection: Time is protected for stillness and processing during our retreats and workshops.

Invest in a meaningful life. It’s priceless.
