Details

This retreat offers a fun, laid-back experience designed to create space for movement, creativity, connection, and deep rest. Days unfold at an easy pace, blending morning yoga and meditation with open, playful art sessions that invite exploration through painting, collage, mixed media, storytelling, and creative writing. Evenings are intentionally unhurried, centered around family-style meals, cozy conversations, and gentle wind-downs that foster connection and ease. Throughout the retreat, you will enjoy seriously good food that is colorful, nourishing, and made with love, alongside generous free time to do absolutely nothing. Whether that looks like journaling on a porch swing, resting in a hammock, taking a nap, or joining optional outings, the space is yours to use as you wish. From grounding and intention setting to creative expression and reflection, the retreat gently supports you in slowing down, reconnecting, and leaving feeling refreshed, inspired, and integrated.

Saturday continues the creative journey with morning yoga, additional workshops, and a mix of optional excursions or personal art time, culminating in a themed candlelit dinner and an evening of shared creative expression and storytelling. The retreat closes on Sunday with a light breakfast, a final morning yoga and gratitude meditation, time to complete a take-home creative piece, and a closing circle, ending with a celebratory brunch before departure.

Testimonials

The writing & yoga retreat at Tree House was one of my favorite weekends. The energy was impeccable & Renny did an amazing job at leading a retreat that was fun, but also full of spirituality & connection. I'll take the lessons I learned there with me my whole life! -Aliya R.

The Tree Speak Beach Retreat is a harmonious blend of invigorating yoga, self discovery, and fun in the sun.  Renny brings her magical personality to the mat as you connect your breaths and poses just like the emerald waves crashing and receding back into the ocean before you.  Each year I meet new yogis on this trip and leave knowing that I have made new friendships.  I look forward to this experience every year
