Awakening Through Change is a multi-day immersive retreat from February 15–18, 2026 held in Joshua Tree National Park, aligned with the first Solar Eclipse of the year — a powerful moment associated with inner awakening sparked by external change.

This eclipse highlights a familiar but often uncomfortable truth:sometimes life disrupts our sense of stability so we can no longer ignore who we are becoming.

Unexpected shifts in routine, comfort, finances, relationships, or direction can feel destabilizing — yet they often carry the invitation to:

• break old patterns
• reassess self-worth and values
• step into a more authentic, self-directed chapter

Theme: When life shakes the ground beneath you, the desert offers space to pause, ground, and consciously begin again — with clarity, intention, and courage.

Expected Contribution: $1,000 – $2,500 per participant

Because this is a group-funded retreat (look at the section below), the exact contribution will depend on the final number of participants and the experiences we pick.

This retreat is intentionally small and group-funded. Rather than operating as a profit-based offering, all retreat expenses are shared transparently among participants — including the hosts. There are no hidden costs, markups, or added fees. Each contribution directly supports the collective experience and what’s needed to bring it to life.

Because of this structure and the intimate group size, an RSVP is more than a reservation — it is a commitment to attend. Each person’s presence matters, and the retreat unfolds only through shared responsibility, trust, and follow-through.

This model allows us to:

• Maintain a deeply connected, intimate group
• Create an experience rooted in integrity and mutual investment
• Gather with people who are truly aligned and ready to show up

RSVP & Payment Details:

• RSVPs are open until January 31, 2026. You can cancel anytime before that date.
• After the RSVP period closes, we will build an itinerary and calculate the cost per person.
• Signees will then receive payment breakdown and itinerary details on February 1, 2026.
• All payments must be done by February 5, 2026.
• Please note: There are no refunds once the payments are done. Your RSVP represents a commitment to attend and allows the retreat to come together as planned.

This experience is designed to support both awakening and integration.

Through guided practices and shared exploration, you will:

• Identify and work with the current challenges in your life
• Gain insight into the patterns, routines, and assumptions that are blocking your progress
• Clarify what truly matters — beyond comfort, expectation, or habit
• Reconnect with your values and sense of self-worth
• Learn tools to intentionally rebuild areas of your life in alignment with those values
• Translate insight into clear next steps and practical action

This is not about fixing yourself.It’s about recognizing that change is already in motion — and choosing how you meet it.

Deserts are landscapes of transition — places where life persists under extreme conditions and adapts in unconventional ways.

Joshua Tree offers:

• A rugged, grounding environment that mirrors resilience and self-reliance
• Vast, ancient terrain that stabilizes the nervous system during periods of uncertainty
• Wide horizons that encourage reflection, intuition, and fresh perspective
• A powerful setting to embody what it means to take action from clarity rather than reaction

Here, stillness and movement coexist — offering both grounding and momentum.

This retreat is for anyone experiencing change that feels externally driven, destabilizing, or unavoidable — and who senses that something new is trying to emerge.

You may resonate if:

• You’re facing unexpected financial shifts and re-evaluating money, security, or worth
• External circumstances have caused you to question your value — materially or personally
• You’ve outgrown your current location or lifestyle but stayed out of comfort or fear
• Relationships built on familiarity now feel restrictive or misaligned
• You’ve spent years in a conventional or corporate role and feel drawn toward something more meaningful or unconventional
• You’re questioning your standards, contributions, or direction — and hearing the inner voice say, “I deserve better.”

If life has shaken your foundations and you’re ready to respond consciously rather than react, this retreat offers a grounded place to begin again.
