The BREATHE Retreat

The BREATHE Retreat is designed to refresh, relax, and re-energize guests by combining a nourishing vegan diet with three core activities: connecting with nature, connecting to our bodies, and connecting to our creative essence. Each day's activities are thoughtfully conceived, so that they flow into and complement the next, creating a powerful whole.

This is a weekend of rebirth. Guests come together during the spiritual new year to cleanse their bodies, minds, and spirits, to emerge from their stay refreshed, reconnected, and realigned.

We will be retreating to the peaceful and very private Lotus Ranch, a beautiful event and retreat facility located on 40 enchanting acres, just west of Wimberley, Texas. Nestled on a heavily wooded hill, with hidden meadows and ponds, Lotus Ranch is a certified wildlife habitat perfect for nature hikes, and a part of the International Dark Sky Community, so we can enjoy the breathtaking stars in the clear night sky. Learn more at lotusranch.org.

Over the weekend we will have plenty of time for leisure and rest, as well as our curated activites that are sure to inspire and delight you. These will include:

Guided nature walks and outdoor games, to ground your spirit and let your inner child out to play.

Delicious vegan meals to help cleanse and energize your body temple, featuring Chef Nicole Matzke of Nourishing Empowerment.
