To create retreats and group travel experiences that are truly mental health friendly. While hostels and all-inclusive resorts are fun with partying, drinking, and overeating, they rarely leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed afterward.
When I faced work burnout and depression, pub crawls, and clubbing music became overwhelming. Yoga retreats felt physically and mentally demanding, and silent meditation retreats were as challenging as surfing camps.
For those seeking more breaks, quiet time, and healing activities like Sharing Circles and Paint nights, there needs to be a safe space to be authentic. A place to reflect, journal, read, and not feel pressured to appear okay all the time. A sanctuary where vulnerability is welcomed without judgment or the need for explanations.
