WHY OUR RETREATS ARE DIFFERENT
our retreats aren’t about checking boxes or squeezing every second into an itinerary — they’re about presence. we keep our groups intentionally small so real relationships can form. our days have gentle structure layered with space, so you can choose adventure or stillness without guilt. we prioritize culture and connection over curated perfection, weaving in local experiences, shared meals, and community moments that feel organic and real. everything we offer is grounded in movement, mindfulness, and meaning — never pressure, hustle, or comparison. this is travel with heart.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GATHER
meaningful connection
we promise you’ll meet good humans, share real moments, and leave with people who feel like chosen family.
intentional movement
daily practices that ground, restore, energize, and reconnect you with your body - never rushed, never forced.
spacious days
no crammed schedules. no overwhelm. just gentle structure and lots of room to breathe, wander, nap, or explore at your own pace.
culture + curiosity
immersive experiences that help you feel the place you’re in - food, traditions, local gems, and simple moments that matter.
adventure without pressure
you can hike, explore, and try new things…or you can curl up with a book. both count as “doing the retreat right.”
community-led comfort
warmth, welcome, inclusivity, and space to show up exactly as you are. no trying, no performance, no pretending.
rest that actually restores
quiet mornings, cozy evenings, soft landings, and the kind of peace that follows you home.
memories that stay with you
sunsets, conversations, inside jokes, shared meals, laughter, breakthroughs, softness. the good stuff.
ease from start to finish
clear communication, simple logistics, helpful guidance, and a “we’ve got you” vibe the entire time.
transformation that feels gentle
not dramatic, not forced - just the kind of inner shift that happens naturally when you explore the world with intention.
small groups, big connection
you’ll always have space to be seen, supported, and included. no huge tour-bus energy here.
presence over perfection
no rules. no expectations. just moments to savor, enjoy, and be exactly who you are.
STUFF YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING…
-
nope. absolutely not.
whether you practice daily or roll your mat out twice a month (or not at all!), you’re welcome here. every class is offered with plenty of options, space, and support - and with the option to not take class at all! -
yes. like, 1000% yes.
most people come solo and leave with friends who feel like they’ve known them forever. beyond evolution retreats are intentionally small so connection happens naturally. -
think: grounded mornings, gentle structure, and plenty of spaciousness to rest, wander, read, nap, explore, or do your own thing.
no overpacked itineraries. no rushing. no guilt for skipping something. -
movement is part of each day, but it’s your practice, your pace.
most adventures are beginner-friendly, and nothing is mandatory. your comfort matters more than the itinerary. -
transparency is everything - all policies will be clearly listed on your retreat’s booking page. deposits are typically non-refundable, and balances follow a timeline based on the venue.
-
plenty.
this is not a “run from activity to activity” kind of trip. -
yes! you can room together, travel together, or do your own thing during the day. you get to choose your experience.
-
nope. everyone is welcome here.
while many of our travelers happen to be women, Beyond Evolution retreats are open to all. if you’re kind, open-hearted, and excited to connect - you belong. -
not at all. you don’t need to have ever stepped foot in the studio to join us.
many people come from out of town, find us online, or are invited by a friend.
if the retreat calls to you, you’re welcome - member or not.
