Retreats

Sometimes you don’t need a whole new life.
You just need time, trees, and space to breathe.

Heart Hips Mind retreats are designed to support your nervous system, clear mental clutter, and reconnect you with what steadies you — through forest bathing, mindfulness, and brain-aware practices. Whether you have two hours or a full day (or night), these experiences are intentionally paced, trauma-informed, and pressure-free.

Seasonal Retreats

Retreats that honor the rhythms of nature and the seasons...

Seasonal retreats create space to slow down in rhythm with nature. These longer experiences support deeper rest, reflection, and nervous-system reset — without the expectation of transformation or performance.

​

Retreats may include guided forest bathing, mindfulness and meditation, gentle movement, quiet reflection, and unstructured time in nature. Day-long or overnight, they’re designed to feel spacious, grounded, and supportive.

​

Winter retreats invite a quieter kind of restoration — stillness, warmth, and practices that support resilience during the darker months.

​

No fixing. No striving. Just time to listen.

Micro Retreats

Not everyone has a whole weekend — and you don’t need one to feel the shift.

Micro-retreats are 2–3 hour experiences offering meaningful nervous-system support in an accessible format.

 

Often held in local green spaces — including plant nurseries and gardens in Northern Virginia — these gatherings center on guided forest bathing and mindful presence.

​

They’re ideal if you’re curious about forest bathing, feeling overstimulated, or looking for a gentle reset that fits into real life.

Personalized Retreats

Some experiences are better when they’re made just for you.

Personalized retreats are custom-designed for individuals, small groups, families, or organizations. Together, we’ll shape an experience that may include forest bathing, mindfulness practices, nervous-system education, and intentional time in nature — aligned with your goals, access needs, and setting.

​

All personalized retreats are trauma-informed, accessibility-aware, and guided with care.
