This immersive camping experience in southern Utah invites you to unplug from technology and embrace the beauty of the present moment through daily guided meditations, mindful movement, intentional moments of silence, and fun exploration of the deserts of Utah and our inner selves.

Each day is thoughtfully designed to deepen your connection with nature and community. You’ll have space to slow down, breathe deeply, and truly be present.

Each day will bring:

🌿 Guided meditations to quiet your mind and bring more clarity
🌄 Mindful movement and breathwork to help you feel grounded and energized
🤫 Moments of intentional silence to deepen self-awareness and reflection
🏜️ Adventurous exploration of Utah’s stunning desert landscapes, mirroring your own journey of growth

This is a chance to step away from the distractions of everyday life, embrace the unknown, and reconnect—with yourself, with nature, and with a like-minded community. You'll leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and more in tune with what truly matters.

What’s Waiting for You:

🔥 Day 1: Rebirth in Goblin Valley
Step into the unique landscapes of Goblin Valley, where towering rock formations create an otherworldly playground. We’ll gather inside a secret cave for a powerful rebirthing ceremony—a symbolic shedding of what no longer serves you, making space for clarity, confidence, and renewal.

🌊 Day 2: The Journey Through the Slot Canyon
Navigate the twists and turns of a Ding and Dang slot canyon, where narrow sandstone walls push you to move with resilience, trust, and surrender. With every step, you’ll feel yourself growing stronger—both physically and mentally—supported by an incredible community by your side.

Unplug to Reconnect:

We challenge you to fully immerse yourself in the experience by surrendering your phone. At first, it might feel like a challenge, but trust us: the most life-changing moments happen when you're fully present.

But don’t worry about missing memories—each guest will receive a disposable camera (hello, ’90s nostalgia!) to capture special moments. Plus, we’ll have a professional photographer documenting the weekend, so you can relive the magic long after you return home.

Are You Ready to Invest in YOURSELF?

By the time you leave, you’ll feel recharged, reconnected, and deeply fulfilled—with new friendships, a deeper connection to nature, and a renewed sense of adventure.

✅ Spots are limited to keep this experience intimate. So don't wait—reserve your spot now!

We can’t wait to share this unforgettable retreat with you! 💙

Day 1
Day 1
Travel to Campsite + Goblin Valley Adventure
We'll kick off our retreat by meeting in Salt Lake City and road-tripping down to our beautiful campsite near Ding and Dang Slot Canyon. Along the way, we’ll stop for a nourishing lunch (included) before continuing our journey into the desert.

Once we arrive, you’ll have the opportunity to fully unplug—either surrendering your phone or switching it to airplane mode—so you can disconnect from technology and reconnect with yourself. (*Both retreat leaders will have phone access at all times for emergencies.)

After setting up camp and settling in, we’ll gather for introductions, a grounding meditation, and intention setting. This is your time to reflect on what you want to receive from this experience and how you want to show up throughout the retreat.

Next, we’ll head out for an adventure in Goblin Valley! We’ll hike through this otherworldly landscape, playing and exploring the unique terrain. Our hike will lead us to a cave, where we’ll hold a rebirthing ceremony—cleansing your energy with sage and releasing anything that no longer serves you. Then, you’ll climb through a small opening at the top of the cave, emerging with a fresh intention for what you want to invite into your life. This experience is both powerful and completely safe.

We’ll wrap up the day with dinner around the campfire, sharing stories, connecting with new friends, and soaking in the magic of the night sky.

Day 2
Day 2
Ding and Dang Slot Canyon Exploration
We’ll start our morning with movement, meditation, and breathwork, followed by a nourishing breakfast. This gentle yet energizing practice will wake up both your body and your mind, setting the tone for a day of exploration—inside and out.

Then, it’s time for the main event—hiking Ding and Dang Slot Canyon! We’ll pack up our lunches (included) and head into this breathtaking landscape, making space for intentional connection—with the earth, with ourselves, and with each other.

This isn’t just a hike; it’s an opportunity to be fully present, take in the beauty around us, and deepen the friendships forming along the way. These are the moments that create lasting and meaningful memories.

After returning to camp, you’ll have some free time to relax and unwind before we gather for our conservation workshop.

Lindsey and Tricia will lead an interactive session on environmental stewardship, sharing their experiences and the knowledge they’ve gained. You’ll learn about Leave No Trace principles, desert conservation, and the importance of balancing adventure with intentional rest. Our goal is not just to immerse ourselves in nature but to learn how to protect her for generations —while also honoring and caring for our own bodies so we can continue experiencing the beauty of this world for years to come.

*Please feel free to bring your own knowledge and wisdom around these topics to share - there's always more to learn!

We’ll close out the day with a delicious dinner, a cozy campfire, stargazing, and plenty of fun! .. maybe even a dance party ;)

Day 3
Day 3
Final Day of Fun!
On our final morning together, we’ll start with movement and meditation, followed by a delicious breakfast and a period of intentional silence.

For 20–30 minutes, we’ll step away from conversation, music, and distractions—just pure, uninterrupted silence. This is your time to do whatever feels right for you. Maybe you’ll read, journal, stretch, take a walk, nap, or simply sit and soak in the stillness. When was the last time you experienced true silence, without technology pulling at your attention? If you’re like most of us, it’s been a while. This is your moment to just be, to listen inward, and to give yourself whatever you need in that space. And who knows—you might love it so much that you bring this practice home with you!

Afterward, we’ll come back together for a final reflection, sharing takeaways, stories, and experiences. What did you learn? How do you feel? What will you carry forward from this retreat?

Then, it’s time to pack up, soak in those last big hugs, reunite with your phones, and begin our journey back to Salt Lake City. We’ll stop for lunch along the way (this meal is not included) and expect to arrive back in Salt Lake by early evening.
