The Retreat:

What It Means To Truly Unplug

This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a reset. A chance to silence the noise and hear your own voice again.

To unplug is to trade the constant scroll for real connection, the pressure to perform for space to just be. It’s less about always being available—and more about finally being present. Less about doing—and more about feeling again.

This retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise and reconnect with the part of you that felt fully alive—before the roles, the pressure, and the notifications took over.

THE VISION:

For so long, we’ve been taught to lead with output—achievement, hustle, staying “on.” But what if real fulfillment lives in the balance?

Modern life rewards productivity, while stillness, joy, and genuine connection are treated like luxuries—rather than basic human needs.

What if you didn’t have to choose between getting things done and actually feeling alive while doing them?

This retreat is designed to help you unplug from the noise, reset your nervous system, and reconnect with a way of living that feeds your purpose and your presence. To trust your intuition while staying grounded in action. To move from performing to feeling—from control to connection—without burning yourself out in the process.

And at the heart of this transformation lies your ability to feel again—not just think, plan, or optimize. Here, presence isn’t a productivity hack. It’s how you experience your life fully: the awe of nature, the energy of deep conversation, the pleasure of doing something just because it lights you up.

Through shared adventure, reflective workshops, movement, and meaningful connection, you’ll remember what it feels like to be a human being—alive, attuned, and emotionally connected.

This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering the version of you that existed before the scroll, before the roles, before the grind.

The one who laughs easily. The one who feels deeply. The one who knows that real success includes joy, community, and freedom.

The Reset From Hustle To Human

THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF


  • You’re feeling emotionally flat, digitally drained, and quietly craving a space where you can feel more than just productive—you can feel present.

  • You’re craving a real pause—one that gives you space to breathe, to reset, and to remember what actually brings you joy.

  • You’re ready to break out of the loop of always being “on”—and reconnect with your own rhythm, without pressure, performance, or perfection.

  • You want connection that isn’t curated through a screen—but felt around a fire, on a trail, in laughter, in silence, with people who get it.

  • You’re tired of surface-level conversations and long for depth—shared stories, real presence, and a group that feels more like chosen family than strangers.

  • You’ve done the vacations, the routines, the self-help books—and you know what’s missing isn’t knowledge, it’s aliveness.

  • You want to stop numbing and start feeling—to trade the scroll for soul, the inbox for the canyon, the endless doing for something real.

  • You’re not here to become someone new. You’re here to return to the version of you that feels most awake, connected, and fully alive.

THIS RETREAT IS NOT FOR YOU IF


  • You’re committed to staying busy, always plugged in, and aren’t ready to pause—even when your body and mind are begging for it.

  • You’re more comfortable performing than being present, and you’d rather stay in control than explore what’s underneath.

  • You’re uninterested in deep connection, group energy, or shared experiences that go beyond small talk and curated personas.

  • You’re craving distraction more than introspection—and the thought of sitting with yourself, without a screen, feels unbearable.

  • You’re looking for a high-end escape, not a meaningful reentry—more entertainment than transformation.

  • You’ve decided burnout is just how life works—and slowing down is weakness, not wisdom.

  • You want clarity without vulnerability, change without challenge, and results without feeling.

  • You’re not here to return to yourself—you’re here to avoid the discomfort of being seen, felt, and fully alive.

What’s Included

  • “I'm not quite sure if I can put into words what this weekend retreat was and meant to me. But here goes nothing. You've changed 20 peoples' lives. May I repeat. CHANGED. TWENTY. HUMAN BEINGS' LIVES! You took an idea that was a seed in your mind, planted it, let it grow, and then got all of us to live for a weekend under that forest of redwoods. This forest of souls will continue to grow and prosper through the ripple effect of community. All because YOU decided to follow your heart and do something about the need you saw in the world
 human connection. All of the participants will be forever grateful to you for doing this and I hope you understand that. Again, thank you for bringing such a unique group of people together, letting us share our lives, loves, and passions, all within a 4 day span. Nothing short of SPECTACULAR.”

  • "Still processing what happened this weekend. All I can say is all of this wouldn't have been possible without you. Thank you for holding a vision and making it a reality. Meeting all those wonderful souls and reconnecting with some was exactly what my heart needed to heal. The beauty of the sights seen were breathtaking and your way of connecting people was just pure bliss. Teaching our sound bath reiki workshop was such a gift. My heart is so full thank you sister. May God keep blessing you on this unplugged journey. I love you."

  • “Lauren!! Whoa. I'm still processing the retreat this weekend — it was soo awesome and soo transformative! And I know that's a shared sentiment. And our chat in the car — I think that was one of the most real, transparent, and beautiful conversations we've ever had. Thank you for sharing your heart!! I was also inspired by our conversation; I had a deep and fairly extensive conversation with my dad this morning. It was healthy and good. I think I'm finally stepping into using my voice and understanding the power of words more. Your continued words of affirmation mean so much to me. All that to say — I am so grateful for your presence in my life. Thank you for the light you continue to shine to everyone around you. May we continue to Face Everything And Rise!”

  • “Participating in the retreat in Austin Texas was a very special experience. For four days I was surrounded with exciting ideas and inspiring people. It was so reinvigorating to meet and share life stories with others with similar goals and aspirations. I learned a lot, and I left the retreat with a stronger belief in my abilities, and myself.”

     â€” Tristen S.

  • “I'm so proud of you. Like SO proud. You had a dream, turned, goal, turned REALITY. There is nothing more inspiring than seeing someone live their dream, and that's what you did this weekend. You poured your heart and soul into every second of unplugged, and because of that — 20
 let me repeat TWENTY lives were changed. You're an incredible human being
 and this is just the beginning. Thank you for being such an amazing wonderful friend and sister to me. My soul is so happy whenever I'm around you and I'm so thankful I've been able to share some of these incredible memories with you. This weekend was everything.
