MORE INFOTogether in community, we’ll gather in the beautiful coastal sanctuary of Delta Retreat to remember what it means to belong — to ourselves, to the land, and to the breath.
This is an opportunity to create deep connections with other people, with nature, with your emotions, your body, with life itself.
It’s an opportunity to bring transformation and healing to problems in your life, awaken more awareness of yourself and what drives you, find more wholeness and more intuitive trust in this world; to clean yourself of heaviness and step into life fresh,
renewed and intentional.
This retreat is a co-creation between two trauma-informed breathwork facilitators, Angel and Freddie, who bring depth, warmth, and intuitive care to their guidance. Through ceremonial space, nervous system support, and embodied connection, you’ll be held as you explore your inner landscapes with curiosity and courage.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll be invited into a carefully curated journey that includes:
