Wellness & Wellbeing

Enjoy yoga, somatic movement, and meditations sprinkled throughout the retreat and aligned with the themes of each day. Through embodying the concepts and moving through them physically, your cells and your DNA will embrace them in an infinitely impactful way, allowing you to expedite your growth and progress toward living your dream life. Movement and mindfulness combined with a life-changing system and methodology - what could be more meaningful?
Coaching & Development
Immerse yourself in Creative Life Design, a unique system and methodology by Dana J Buchman that inspires you to create new DREAM-Goals instead of SMART goals and go after them in a non-linear way. Each day will include an interactive session to reflect on your recent past, uncover patterns, set DREAM-Goals and design your life to live your dreams. This system is particularly helpful for those who are creative, neurodivergent, and non-linear thinkers. Walk away with clarity, focus, and purpose plus tools to support you in achieving everything you truly desire.

Intentionality
We are focused on helping transform the lives of everyone we come into contact with and inspiring and empowering each of you to live your dreams. Meaningful tourism and hosting a Retreat with Purpose is unique and special. That's why we are engaging with local communities and charities such as The Hope Foundation to support them in living their dreams while we're supporting you to do the same. By participating in this retreat, you will not only be investing in yourself, but in the local communities that are the lifeblood of the Turks and Caicos Islands. The values listed below are the cornerstone of our work and we look for these qualities in the participants we select for this meaningful experience.
01
Generosity & Abundance
Together we hold a mindset of abundance and never scarcity, fear, or lack. We honor deep trust and generosity of thought, time, and resources, with collective faith in the flow of abundance for all. We always assume positive intent and hold sacred space for vulnerabilities, insecurities, and any suffering. We support each others' dreams and celebrate them as our own.
02
Open & Curious Worldview
We value, embrace, and appreciate unique differences in cultures, beliefs, and lifestyles. With an open mind and innocent curiosity, we ask questions to seek understanding, expand knowledge, and challenge our current beliefs. We believe that everyone deserves respect and that genuine openness and curiosity create opportunities for expansion and understanding.
03
Playfulness & Gratitude
We believe in the power of play. We never take ourselves too seriously and know that shared experiences with playfulness and laughter are valuable beyond measure. We embrace a childlike spirit and express deep gratitude throughout each experience. We are grateful for every opportunity to learn and grow, even if it's a bit uncomfortable from time to time.
04
Positive Impact
Together, we make the world a better place through positively impacting all the people, places, and environments we come into contact with throughout our experiences. We are passionate about respecting and giving back to the local people, culture, wildlife, land, and seas at every opportunity and leave each interaction and experience with a positive imprint.
