Wonder, Play, & Rest
A Four-Night Retreat in Santa Fe
January 28 – February 1, 2027
If you're craving a change of scenery, meaningful conversations, a little adventure,
and time to simply be...I'd love for you to join me in Santa Fe.
Imagine Yourself Here
What if, for three full days, someone else handled all of the details? Can you even imagine...
...the reservations have already been made.
...transportation is already arranged.
...someone else has mapped the scenic route.
...your playlists are already waiting.
...tea is already on.
...the yoga mats are already there.
...you don't have to decide what's next.
Your only job is to show up.

Wonder
In the darkness of our first morning, we'll quietly make our way to Albuquerque for one of my bucket list items: a hot air balloon ride.
As the sun rises over the Rio Grande Valley, we'll watch the landscape unfold beneath us from a place few people ever experience.
Sometimes all it takes is a change in perspective.
After this, we will take our time wandering home with a few special stops along the way.
Later, I have a special evening surprise that will help ground us after our big day.
play
On day two, we'll roam through a place that invites curiosity instead of answers. Welcome to Meow Wolf, House of Eternal Return.
We'll laugh, explore, get a little lost, and remember how much fun it is to experience something without needing to understand every bit of it.
After this, we'll explore all of the fun that the Plaza has to offer: from galleries and bookstores to quirky shops and chocolatiers.
Our evening holds a couple of surprises that I can't wait to share with you.
rest
Our final full day belongs to you. Once we arrive at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs, you are free to do as you please.
Soak. Nap. Snack. Read. Book a massage. Take a yoga class. Or simply watch the steam rise from the mineral pools.
There is no right way to spend this day. Only your way.
welcome home
One of my favorite parts of planning a retreat is hunting for the perfect home.
I probably spend far too many hours scrolling through listings (and honestly, I love every minute of it), looking for a place that feels just as special as the destination itself.
The moment I found this home, I knew it was the one. I was looking for somewhere we'd actually want to spend time. A place where we can stretch, laugh, feast, sing, soak under the stars, and simply be together.
For four nights, this beautiful adobe home becomes ours.
a few of my favorite things about the house
• The wellness circuit with a sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub.
• Four cozy fireplaces that make chilly January evenings even better.
• Multiple gathering spaces, because sometimes you want company and sometimes you want a quiet corner.
• A chef's kitchen where fresh coffee, hot tea, snacks, and thoughtfully prepared meals are always within reach.
• Seventeen private acres that make it feel like we've escaped the world, while still being just minutes from Santa Fe.
our time together
I've taken care of the planning so you can simply arrive.
Thursday is intentionally unhurried. You're welcome to arrive as early as you'd like to settle in and enjoy the house before we gather for our welcome dinner and first practice together. Unpack at your own pace, soak in the hot tub, curl up with a book, take a nap, or simply enjoy having nowhere else to be.
Over the next few days, we'll move between shared experiences and quiet moments, adventure and rest, conversation and solitude. There will always be something to look forward to, but never pressure to fill every minute.
There will be yoga, delicious meals, meaningful adventures, delightful surprises, cozy evenings, and plenty of free time woven throughout. Whether you're chatting around the kitchen island, soaking under the stars, or sneaking away for an afternoon nap, you'll find plenty of space to spend your time in whatever way feels most nourishing.

A Note from Your Hostess
One of my favorite things in the world is sitting in hot water on a cold day, with a blazing fire nearby.
It reminds me that sometimes the best experiences are the simplest ones. We don't always need more to feel restored. Sometimes we just need a beautiful place, good people, and permission to simply be ourselves.
That's exactly the kind of retreat I envision. A place where mornings begin with wonder, afternoons invite us to play, and evenings end soaking in hot water beneath a winter sky.
I can't think of a better way to celebrate turning forty. Just slowing down, laughing out loud, breathing deeply, and remembering what it feels like to be fully present.
If that sounds like your kind of celebration, I'd love nothing more than to share it with you.
I honestly cannot wait to see who says yes.
Maybe it's you. If it is, know this...
Around here, nobody cares if your pajamas match. I'm much more interested in whether you'll join me by the fire.
If this feels like your kind of celebration, consider this your invitation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What airport should I fly into?
You'll fly into Santa Fe Regional Airport (SAF), approximately 17 minutes from our retreat home. I'll send detailed travel recommendations after you reserve your spot.
Whoa, whoa...a hot air balloon? Is that even safe?
Believe it or not, that was one of my first questions too! It turns out hot air ballooning has an excellent safety record and is statistically safer than many adventure activities, including zip-lining. Flights are completely weather-dependent, which means if conditions aren't just right, they don't go. Safety always comes first.
So no worries...this is Santa Fe, not Oz. 😉
Do I need yoga experience?
Not at all. Every practice is designed to be welcoming and adaptable, whether this is your first yoga class or you've been practicing for years. You're encouraged to honor your body and participate at your own pace.
I'm coming by myself/I'm an introvert. Will I feel out of place?
As a fellow introvert, I understand the hesitation. The good news is that this retreat isn't about constant socializing. There will be moments of laughter around the dinner table, quiet mornings with a cup of coffee, meaningful conversations, and plenty of space to simply be. Many guests come on their own, and by the end of the retreat, strangers often leave feeling like old friends.
What should I pack?
I'll send a detailed packing list before the retreat, but for now, think cozy. Comfortable clothes for yoga, layers for cool mornings and evenings, a swimsuit for the hot springs, and anything else that helps you feel at home. Just know that around here, nobody cares if your pajamas match. I'm much more interested in whether you'll join me by the fire.
Can I come with a friend?
Absolutely! In fact, some room options are perfect for friends traveling together. Just let me know on your reservation form if you'd like to share a room.
How are rooms assigned?
Guests choose a room category (Private King, Shared King, or Cozy Twin), and I'll finalize room assignments once I arrive at the house and can thoughtfully prepare each space for our group. This gives me the flexibility to create the best experience for everyone while taking the home's different room and bathroom configurations into account.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! If spreading payments out would be helpful, simply let me know after you reserve your spot. I'm happy to work with you.
What if I need to cancel?
Your $300 deposit is non-refundable because it reserves your space. If you're unable to attend, I'll do my best to fill your spot from the waitlist. If your spot is filled, I'll gladly refund any payments you've made beyond your non-refundable deposit.
