This isn't just a retreat--it's a reset--because sometimes that's all you need to get back on track, remember your Loveliest Self, and go after your dreams. Join founder of Lovely Human School, Meghan Bonhomme, at the stunning Sansara Resort, deep in the healing jungles of Panama and find the peace and clarity you've been seeking. A blend of rest and movement (both physical and energetic) are the cornerstone of our time together; Yoga, Pilates, and Breathwork combine to allow profound inner connection and a remembering of joy, sisterhood, and self-care. *newbies/all levels welcome
So, come hit the reset button: embrace new experiences, dive into deliciously healthy meals, move your body with love, and set yourself up for self-care that will last long after you've unpacked your suitcase and dusted the Panama sand off your clothes.
