Hey y'all,

So much of what makes us stuck is not knowing our place in the world. We give into limiting stories about who we are and who we are supposed to be. We get caught up in proving, performing, perfecting and pleasing. We hustle, take care of everyone else, lose ourselves in the process. And yet we are all yearning to thrive. 

Bayo Akomolafe reminds us that "these times are urgent, we must slow down". True healing demands that we find places of refuge that allow us to detox and recover from the overwhelm of these times and recalibrate with what matters most. 

Retreats are not an escape. Rather they are an opportunity to get back into relationship with ourselves, with each other and with what we love and value in the world. When we are able to slow down amidst the chaos, the clarity and capacity emerge to help us live more just and joyful lives.  

Introducing the first ever American Detox Retreat (October 20 - 23rd 2022). Hosted in the mountains of Topanga Canyon (30 minutes outside of LA) and nourished by abundant nature, plant based meals, movement practice, hot/cold plunges and restful oasis, we will be guided through an embodied experience of creative inquiry and inspiration towards the transformation we deserve and so desperately need. Together we will explore themes like: 

• Recovering from perfectionism
• Unlearning scarcity
• Getting out of our own way
• Finding our purpose and place in the world 
• Going from limiting beliefs to poses of possibility 
• Practicing joy 

 This journey is an invitation back to yourself. Through radical inquiry, embodied detox, joyful movement, and creative collaboration, we will confront whatever is in the way of our potential and recalibrate our lives around purpose and possibility. Here's a taste of what you can expect:  

PS - If you're ready for a real adventure, Join Michelle Cassandra Johnson and I in Panama for a post-holiday detox and refuge (November 27th - December). This retreat is for leaders and change makers who understand that in order to keep going and sustain in our work in the world, we need to do the healing and recovery that is necessary to reclaim our wholeness and live into our purpose with joy and resilience. It is going to be a dynamic experience of rest, rejuvenation and reimagining the next phase of our work and lives. 

We are excited to finally be bringing to life the practice of American Detox and look forward to being on this journey with you all. Feel free to reach out for scholarships and support.
