February 13–18, 2026 | Private Villa • Ocean Views • Sacred Reconnection
Dear Collective,
As many of you know, I’ve spent much of the last four years in the Dominican Republic. While many see it only as a Caribbean destination filled with all-inclusive resorts, this island is so much more. In a single day, you can move from the Atlantic’s turquoise beaches to the rivers tucked between mountains, cleansing yourself in healing waters that have been flowing for generations.
People often assume I chose the DR because of Yohan, but the truth is, the Dominican Republic chose me. Here, I’ve found healthcare that costs less than my NYC co-pays, nourishing food grown locally in rich soil, and a culture rooted in community and care. What I crave most in life is love—and no matter where I travel, I keep returning to the love I feel in the people and the places here.
This retreat is an invitation to return, too—to your body, your heart, and the parts of yourself that feel most alive. Over six days in the Dominican Republic, you’ll immerse in daily yoga, meditation, healing rituals, and cultural experiences, guided by practices designed to help you soften, receive, and remember who you are.
Whether you’re moving through burnout, healing from heartbreak, or simply longing for reconnection, this journey offers a sacred pause.
