Know Your Nature Retreats
What if you could rise with the sun and wind down under the stars? If you could take the time to appreciate the natural beauty of your surroundings? To unwind and reconnect, while developing new skills to help you in your wellness journey?
Well, now you can with our Know Your Nature Retreats.
Know Your Nature Retreats are the perfect combination of wellness and vacation. These retreats are for anyone looking to reconnect with themselves and take a deeper dive into their own unique health journey; for people who want to push “reset” on life and discover a new place, connect with new people, and explore a new perspective on living well.
When Lindsay and I first started working together in 2007, it was to host and facilitate plant- based, wellness retreats on a tiny private island in Turks and Caicos, Ambergris Cay.
I was fresh out of Holistic Nutrition School and finishing up my third month living in Hawaii on my internship when Linds and I made our plans. We were fortunate to have our family home on this little island as the backdrop to our retreats we called Oceanrise Retreats on Ambergris Cay.
We worked hard and long hours preparing for and facilitating these retreats and really poured our whole hearts into holding space for the guests while sharing our genuine joy and excitement for healthy food, yoga and meditation.
Our early days working together on these retreats have helped to set the groundwork and inform how we plan to hold space for our KYN retreats.
And now it’s time.
We are inviting our community into an immersive retreat experience in the place we call home.With beautiful turquoise waters, blue skies, and expansive views, the Turks and Caicos sets the tone and pace for our retreats.
KYN retreats are offered in stunning oceanfront villas across the islands, for a more intimate and bespoke experience. We will curate the itinerary to revolve around intention setting, movement practices, meditation, wellness and nutrition workshops, open conversation and Q&A. Each day will include delicious health giving meals, as well as customized dining experiences with a private chef.
Our guests will also have access to a stunning infinite edge pool overlooking the ocean, and free time to soak up the sun, float in the ocean, cruise the coastline on kayaks or paddle boards, or schedule a restorative massage or more specialized consultations with a naturopath or osteopath.
It is important to us that everyone feels welcome. We can see how challenging and overwhelming it can be to understand what ‘health’ really means in each of our lives, and how that may be different for each of us. We want to help you get there. Our journey is evolving all the time, it ebbs and flows. We teach a way of making your health journey sustainable, so rather than an instant fix, we are in this for the long game. We want you to feel good now, 5 years from now, and 20 years from now!
We want you to leave knowing something new about yourself, feeling refreshed and restored, and resilient as you head back into your life, your family, into your home and your work. Our goal is for you to end your retreat feeling empowered with the skills and tools to find your own path to wellness in your everyday lives.
See you in the sunshine.
