Yoga clothes, a swimsuit, sandals, journal, sunscreen, bug spray, and a light coverup for cooler evenings. We'll send a full suggested packing list closer to the retreat date.
What is the food like?
Most locations offer plant-based, pescatarian and protein-based organic meals are all available with locally sourced ingredients. Vegan, vegetarian and other special diets can be accommodated.
Do I need to come with a friend or group?
Many women come solo and some women bring friends. Either way, you will be in community when you arrive. It’s a great way to meet like-minded women in a supportive space.
Why attend a retreat led by Melanee Cooper?
Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, women’s circles and retreats, Melanee built an entirely new life for herself, filled with peace, joy, purpose and meaning.
She learned the importance of self-care, how to lead authentically, connect to herself and others by asking the deeper questions – to awaken and transform to her full presence.
Melanee wants to share these tools, practices and resources with other women in community.
