St. Augustine, FL Retreat | Feb. 19-22. 2026
Return To Flow
4-Day Sacred Retreat Designed to
Awaken your Inner Rhythm through Breath, Sound, Movement, and Ceremony.
When Life Has Been Too Much
2025 — the Year of the Snake — has been a season of shedding: of identities, relationships, beliefs, and ways of living that no longer fit. Many people feel raw, tired, and unsure what’s next. Return to Flow was created as a landing place — a space to breathe, rest, and gather strength before the next cycle begins. As we step into 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, we rise from stillness into movement— ready to ignite new paths, new callings, and new beginnings.
This retreat gives you the pause you need before that next leap. Here, by the ocean’s edge, you’ll be held — not fixed, not analyzed, but witnessed and supported as you return to your natural rhythm.
A Soul Immersion By The Sea | February 19-22, 2026
A 4-day sacred retreat designed to awaken your inner rhythm through breath, sound, movement, and ceremony. Held at Sweetwater Sunrise Sanctuary, a private oceanfront home in St. Augustine, this experience brings together shamanic wisdom, somatic release, and heart-centered connection. You’ll leave with clarity, renewal, and grounded energy to step into your next chapter — strong, steady, and clear.
This Retreat Is For You If...
• Stop pretending everything is fine and face what’s really been weighing on you.
• Let go of old stories, patterns, and expectations that no longer serve you.
• Reconnect with your body, breath, and the natural world.
• Be held in an honest, non-judgmental space with people walking their own path of healing.
• Rest deeply, laugh freely, and remember what it feels like to simply be.
