Sebastian, Florida
Heart of the Grove: Sanctuary to the Self Retreat
Sebastian, Forida | December 7-10, 2025
In the heart of Sebastian, Florida, where the jungle meets the lagoon and Spanish moss sways in the breeze, lies 40 sacred acres of wild protected land. Once an ashram, now a sanctuary infused with prayer and reverence, this land will hold us as we gather to remember who we truly are.
For four days, you are invited into a living grove — a place where the jungle itself becomes your teacher. Through daily yoga, meditation, sound, ceremony, forest bathing, cacao, elemental connection, and nourishing food grown from the earth, you will return home to the truth of your heart.
This is not just time away — it is a sacred immersion into nature, community, and your deepest Self. You will leave feeling alive, inspired, and renewed, carrying the pulse of the land within you.
the heart of the experience:
✨ Who This Retreat is For
This experience is open to all genders and all levels of yoga. Whether you’re new to the practice or seasoned in it, if you’ve been feeling disconnected, if you miss the spark that once inspired you, if you long to feel at home in yourself again — this retreat is for you.
🌿 What You’ll Experience
This journey goes far beyond yoga. Alongside daily meditation, breathwork, and asana, you’ll be guided through ceremonies and workshops rooted in ancient tradition and elemental connection. Together we’ll share cacao, bathe in the forest, move in ecstatic dance, be held in sound healing, awaken creativity through writing, and more.
🍃 The Land
Our gathering takes place on 40 acres of private sacred land, bordering 22,000 acres of protected nature preserve. The Sebastian River flows beside us, carrying the songs of countless species of birds and wildlife. Endangered animals thrive here, and thousands of species of flora weave together a living jungle that holds and teaches us. Once home to an ashram, the land is infused with prayer, reverence, and protection.
🥥 Food as Medicine
Three nourishing meals are included each day, crafted from food grown on the land or sourced from local pastures. Every bite is 100% organic, high-vibration, and sustainably raised. Upon arrival, welcome elixirs await you, and each morning begins with coffee, tea, and infused waters.

The Lodge itself is designed for both comfort and connection, blending modern chic with jungle soul. Think luxury furnishings, shag rugs, and a touch of retro 1970s flair — all softened by the warmth of community living.
