Day Retreats

A day retreat creates more space to slow down, settle in, and go deeper. With a full day in a thoughtful setting, participants have more room for nervous system recovery, embodied practice, reflection, and meaningful connection with the natural world.

More Time Changes the Experience

Not every group can step away for a full day or weekend. A half-day program offers enough time to slow the pace, settle the nervous system, and create real connection without turning the schedule upside down.

These experiences are designed for busy teams, retreat groups, and organizations that want something more thoughtful than a quick wellness break, but more flexible than a full retreat. With the right mix of practices, a half-day can support attention recovery, stress regulation, creativity, and group connection in a way people can actually feel.

Why a Day Retreat Works

A full-day format creates room for both restoration and integration.

Enough Time to Actually Shift

More time helps people arrive, slow down, and shift out of the pace of everyday life

Deeper Restoration

A longer format supports fuller nervous system recovery, embodied practice, and attention reset.

Layered Experience

Multiple Somatic Ecotherapy practices can be combined into one coherent day instead of feeling rushed.

Reflection That Sticks

Participants have space to notice, reflect, and carry simple practices forward after the retreat.

Built for Your Group

Each retreat can be shaped around your audience, setting, schedule, and goals.

Integration & Closing

The day closes with space to reflect, integrate, and carry useful practices forward.

Onsite or Offsite, Designed for the Setting

Day retreats can be offered in a range of settings depending on your goals and audience. Experiences may take place onsite at retreat centers, resorts, corporate campuses, healthcare organizations, or conference venues. They may also take place offsite in parks, coastal environments, forests, and nature preserves. Programs are offered throughout California.
