On Day One – something magical started to unfold. Through the questions, the breathing exercises, the disconnection from the outside world—and more importantly, the reconnection with nature, my emotions, and my body—I began to release: hours, days, weeks, months of tension, anxiety, and hypervigilance… the endless need to be busy, to fill every gap in the calendar. And in that opening, I found myself being accepted and embraced by complete strangers. I allowed myself to cry, to be held, and to see the strength in softness. I shared things I’ve never voiced out loud before, and in doing so, I felt seen—not for my achievements, but for who I truly am. That shift alone was life-changing.
I’ve been on so many retreats, and this one has been the best yet. As someone who considers herself fairly self-aware and incorporates daily self-awareness practices, this experience elevated everything to a whole new level. It isn’t something you can do on your own—it requires the detailed guidance and intuition of the amazing, gifted facilitators. If you’re lucky enough to even be aware of this opportunity, you’d be crazy not to act on it. This journey wasn’t just a physical breakthrough; it was mental, emotional, and spiritual, forging a deep connection between my head, heart, gut, and body that elevated my spiritual self and my connection with my soul. There’s no hiding, no judgment, and nothing to be afraid of—only blessings and miracles can arise from such an experience, allowing you to embrace your authentic self so wholeheartedly. This transformative journey opens the door to a brighter future, where the wisdom and clarity you gain seamlessly integrate into a more empowered version of you.
This week was powerful and moving for me. It shone a light onto my patterns and habits that are not serving me. It allowed me to clearly see who I am, love myself and trust myself. I learned how powerful I am in the midst of challenge and discomfort and my true purpose in life. Loving others, opening my heart and brining my gifts to the world are what I am maintaining as a daily opportunity. Cherishing my energy and removing people and activities that diminish this energy.
My wish was to be more present in life. I longed for the presentness I felt at the age of 21 and had not felt for nearly 30 years. The experience that Joren and Josh curated - including journaling, group sharing and intense breath work - brought me more presentness and enlightenment than even that 21-year-old self had found. I still can’t believe it. I am eternally grateful.
Coming back with a renewed sense of purpose, ready to go all in on the things important to me, and ready to let go of the things that have been negatively influencing my energy and time. Important conversations have been had within 2 days of returning and the light in my eyes and fire in my belly is back. For people looking at the cold and breathwork thinking it looks scary, it's important to remember that this week is not about that challenge. It is about finding yourself, and the cold and breathwork are incredible teachers to help guide the way. If everyone got to do this week, the world would be a far better place.
This retreat was a life-changing experience that challenged me mentally and physically in the best way. I learned to drop the mask I’ve worn for years and truly accept myself. Instead of experiencing life as a burden, I now feel a deep sense of presence, love, and connection. The guidance and support created a safe space for profound transformation. If you’re hesitating to join, trust that this journey will open you up to something greater than you can imagine.
This week was a deep excavation of my inner world, allowing me to release what no longer serves me and fully embrace my feminine energy. I walked away with a newfound confidence and appreciation for my body, my power, and my path. The retreat shined a spotlight on the parts of myself I had ignored, bringing clarity and healing. If you're on the fence about joining, know that this experience will guide you toward your own personal breakthroughs and leave you feeling complete.

Joshua Church is one of the most authentic, passionate and dedicated professionals I have had the pleasure of partnering with. In 2024, he led a meditation & breathwork session at our annual wellness event, which was so well received that we invited him back for 2025. His experience, ability to engage the audience, and commitment to exceeding expectations are unmatched. I highly recommend him to any organization looking to elevate their team’s mental and physical well-being.
