Joshua Tree Retreat December 5-7th 2025

from $450.00

December 5–7, 2025 | Joshua Tree, CA

Come home to yourself in the magic of the high desert. After teaching for a decade in California and spending the past year teaching abroad in Indonesia, I’m thrilled to be coming home & invite you to join me for a weekend retreat to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with the healing energy of Joshua Tree.

Together, we’ll flow, breathe, meditate, and share sacred space under the desert sky — and you’ll get a taste of my signature moon ceremony, inspired by my time leading retreats and rituals overseas.

🗓 Retreat Flow

Friday — Arrivals, Welcome & Sound Bath
Arrive anytime Friday afternoon or evening. We’ll gather for a catered welcome dinner, settle in around the fire for a connection circle, and close the evening with a grounding sound bath to help you release the week and drop into retreat mode.

Saturday — Yoga, Nature, & Full Moon Ceremony
Begin your morning with an energizing vinyasa practice with me, followed by breathwork and meditation. After a nourishing breakfast, we’ll head into Joshua Tree National Park for a day of connection, play, and presence. I’ll guide you through a walking meditation in the park — a beautiful way to truly feel the desert.

Saturday night, we’ll share a delicious catered dinner and then gather for a special Full Moon Ceremony — one of my favorite practices to lead. Together we’ll explore the astrology of the night, move through gentle yoga, breathwork, journaling, sound healing, and community sharing as we release what no longer serves and set intentions under the glow of the moon.

Sunday — Closing Practice & Breakfast
We’ll begin our last morning with a soulful vinyasa practice, pranayama, and meditation. After breakfast, we’ll gather for a closing circle before heading home feeling grounded, recharged, and deeply connected to yourself and to community.

🍽 Meals

  • Included: Friday & Saturday dinners, Saturday & Sunday breakfasts

  • Bring: a sack lunch for Saturday’s park adventure (or purchase locally before we go)

🌙 Why Join

This weekend is designed to give you time to slow down, reconnect, and recharge. You’ll move your body with mindful yoga, connect with nature in Joshua Tree, and experience ritual and ceremony that help you step into a new season with clarity and intention.

Is the price per person or per room?
The price is per person.

Sharing a Room
If you’d like to share a room with a friend, please make sure you book the same room together. For example, Bedroom 4 has two twin beds — so you and your friend would each book a spot in Bedroom 4. Bedrooms 5–7 each have a queen bed and a sofa bed, so if you’d like to share that space, be sure you both book Bedroom 5 (or 6, or 7). If you book separate rooms, you’ll be placed in separate spaces.

Can my partner and I share a bed? Absolutely! All retreat pricing is per person, but if you and your partner want to share a bed, that’s an option. For example, you can book Bedroom 5, which includes a private RV with a queen bed and a sofa bed. You’re welcome to just use the queen bed and leave the sofa bed as extra space. Each person will need to book their spot separately to secure their place at the retreat, but you’ll both be placed in the same room.

Can I book out a whole RV for myself or my group?
Yes! Bedrooms 5–9 are RV-style rooms (cozy, glamping-style Airstreams). Each RV has a set number of spots available — for example, Bedroom 9 fits four people. You are welcome to book all the spots in an RV if you’d like it completely private for you or your group, even if you don’t use all the beds.

Please note: All sales are final. Spots are non-refundable but may be transferred to another participant with prior notice.

Are payment plans available? Yes! Payments can be split up into 3 if booked by October 4th, split into 2 if booked by November 2nd. If you want a payment plan, please reach out to Maddy by either email or IG DM. Please share with her which room & bed you would like to book & your email so she can set up your plan.
