Details
Most of us already know our patterns. We know we overthink. We know we people-please. We know we shut down, procrastinate, or keep ending up in the same relationship dynamic. But knowing the pattern and understanding how to actually break through it are two very different things. That's what these four days are for. During our time together, we will dive deep to: Get clear about what you really want next for your life. Break through fear Have greater accountability. Leave with clear action steps to walk toward your goals. Led by Justin Michael Williams, this retreat is designed to help you meet the parts of yourself you hide, judge, suppress, or push away — not so you can endlessly analyze what's "wrong" with you, but so those parts no longer have to run your life from the background. Through deep workshop-style teachings, group coaching, meditation, and somatic practices, you'll explore what's been holding you back and get clear on how to move into your next chapter. What has felt like self-sabotage can begin to make sense. What you've judged about yourself can begin to soften. What you've been confused about for your next steps can become clear. And the energy you've spent overthinking becomes available for something else. This is more than a weekend workshop. You'll arrive Thursday and depart Monday, with real time to slow down, do the work, connect with others from the Insight Timer community who are on the path, and let what you discover settle before you head home. The retreat culminates at the ocean with a special Somatic Beach Closing Ritual (no swimsuit required) — part somatic practice, part ritual, part celebration — to give your body and nervous system space to integrate everything you've experienced. Before the retreat, you will also get access to Justin's short 2-hour Shadow Work online prep course to get you primed for the journey so that we can go deeper. No prior shadow work experience required. All we ask is that you come with curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to look beneath the surface and go deep. Shadow work is ultimately about becoming the person you were meant to be. So you can walk into the life that is waiting for you to say YES— and create more conscious space for the choices you want in your life, in the places where you normally react with fear.

Welcome to Los Angeles. Our retreat sessions will take place at a private venue in Los Angeles, with accommodations available off-site at The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood. We chose The Godfrey because it gives you a beautiful place to land at the end of each retreat day while still letting you experience the energy of Los Angeles. It has a delicious restaurant, a stunning rooftop, and is in the heart of one of the most iconic neighborhoods in LA. The hotel blends modern design with classic Hollywood style, and has gorgeous modern rooms, which will be a perfect place for you to relax and integrate the retreat experience. You will love the Godfrey. It is where Justin's friends and family stay when they come in town as well. You’ll check in on Thursday and depart Monday. We'll take care of the reservation for you, so all you have to do is arrive and relax. The retreat sessions venue address and transportation recommendations will be shared with registered participants prior to arrival.
Meals
Not included - self catered
A continental-style breakfast bar is included each morning, and we’ll provide light bites, snacks, water, tea, coffee, and refreshments during retreat sessions throughout the day to help keep you grounded and energized throughout the day. Full meals are not included in the retreat, and you will eat your lunch and dinner on your own. Meal breaks are intentionally built into the schedule so you can step away, eat something nourishing, connect with other retreat participants, or simply have some quiet time to yourself. We’ll also share recommendations for nearby Los Angeles restaurants and easy meal options before the retreat so you don’t have to figure everything out once you arrive.

FAQs
Guest requirements
Pre-Retreat Connection Call: Because this retreat involves deep work, after registering you’ll be invited to complete a short informational form and have a brief conversation with a member of our team. This is not an audition or an interview. It’s simply a chance for us to learn a little more about you, confirm your payment plan options, answer any questions you have, and make sure this experience feels aligned for you.
Pre-Retreat Preparation Videos: Before arriving in Los Angeles, you’ll receive Justin’s 2-hour Shadow Work Masterclass to watch in advance. It comes with a few simple worksheets, and gives everyone a shared foundation of Shadow Work and some time for reflection so that when we come together in person, we can spend less time explaining the basics — and more time actually doing the deeper part of the work.
Cancellation policy
The remaining balance for the retreat is due 30 days prior to the start date. If this balance is paid earlier than these 30 days, you are eligible to cancel and receive a full refund of this remaining balance, provided you do so at least 30 days before the retreat begins.
