Retreat is a place where you give up what no longer works and take forward practices and tools to live your most empowered and easeful life because . . .
If not now, when?
Here our guests share the impact of their retreat experience.
I'm not who I used to be. Why? Because of this retreat. The Humanity Shared team (Taylor/Kim/Sonya) do an amazing job taking you on a journey of self discovery that is unlike anything you have experienced before.
— Mike
“As always, so satisfied! I got to be cared for in all the most filling ways while doing deep work, connecting with others and nature, and refreshing my toolbox.”
— Natalie
“I most valued the ability to connect to others and recognize that we all have fears that keep us from being the awesome humans we were destined to be, that healing can assist us in living to our full potential but it is uncomfortable.”
— Heather
“Taylor is "the real deal." Taylor was experienced, professional, and passionate about her work. It was awesome to see her lead and speak about an idea she is passionate about - strangers connecting in vulnerability - and see it unfold in front of me. Her sense of humor helped make emotionally difficult topics and concepts relatable & easy to understand. She also cracked me up.”
— Stefan
“The time in nature with others - moving, crying, journaling, meditating was the most SOUL ENRICHING experience of my life!!!”
— Meridan
Retreat never fails to meet some need I have or to be a growth experience. Sometimes the need to be met is set beforehand with an intention, and other times it just jumps out at me. There are always new tools to help me with the job of being a better human and the community of people I meet always offers inspiration, insight, and compassion. I felt cared for, and held by each of the leaders and am so excited to put some of the new tools I learned into practice. I love how the community always comes together, and the vulnerability with which everyone shows up to do the work. I can't say enough good things about the experience.
— Polly
This retreat was such a gift for me, and I hope this video helps anyone who might be on the fence to jump over the other side!
— Daniel
“This retreat helped me to make a huge shift in my lifestyle. I have become a healthier person, taking better care of my needs. Through this process, I have gained capacity to be present for others in my life, including my students.”
— Sarah
“The space to breathe, cry, and be. I loved being able to talk to the other participants in a real and authentic way. I also really liked having time for introspection and journaling. It was the perfect balance of going inside myself and reaching out for support.”
— Avery
“What an amazing experience! I can not say enough how beneficial and needed this retreat was. The container that was created was supportive and your leadership and guidance was spectacular. Thank you for giving me so many tools and a desire to go deeper!”
— Matt
This retreat was worth every penny from the accommodations to the leadership and workshops offered, all the way to the amazing food throughout the duration of the stay. This was an amazing experience that I will hold in my heart forever. The community and relationships I was able to create here exceeded my expectations within the first 24 hours. I highly recommend working with Humanity Shared and look forward to the many more experiences I have with them in my future :)

A note from our team…
Lots of people tell us that it’s hard to get to a retreat. Life is busy, they don’t want to ask for coverage, money is tight, they’ll just attend yoga and download the meditation app, etc.
So why should you prioritize yourself and make it happen?
Because you are worth it.
For those who have tried meditation, you know how hard it is to find stillness and a willingness to watch your mind. Our minds are meaning making machines jumping from past to future, to “I gotta…” to random thoughts all day.
What we think about is what takes our attention and, therefore, our energy. Often this translates to us giving away our precious resources to the people and circumstances that matter least.
The more we leak energy from the present moment, the less power we have to create a life we want from clarity, willingness and purpose. Mindfulness teaches us that our body is in the present moment while our brains live in the past and future.
When you go on retreat with us, we will give you the tools, space, and opportunity to be IN your body, IN the present moment, and IN your experience without interruption which breeds creativity and possibility. This is where you access your capacity to create a life you want to be a part of, rather than living a life you keep trying to survive.
Retreat will give you connection to yourself and others, connection to the amazing present moment where all your possibilities exist, connection to awareness and understanding that you have been seeking while circling your thoughts in your mind.
We invite you to join us for a retreat to learn how to begin again and create a life full of peace, ease and presence, with you at the center.
If not now, when?
If not you, who?
Each day that passes us by is a reminder that the world does not wait so why should you?
