Retreat Program

Gather on beautiful St. John in the Virgin Islands, a protected space where development is limited and natural beauty abounds, which has two of out of what are known as the ten most beautiful beaches are Earth, an island that is primarily National Park. St. John is a direct flight from many U.S. cities and provides the safety of a Caribbean experience under the U.S. flag.

You will be nurtured in a luxurious setting, in beautiful villas on healthy, naturally energized St. John, one of the Caribbean’s true pristine treasures. The days will contain explorations of nature, the beaches, the sea, the rainforest, deep meditation and wonderful island food. You will explore the depths of your being in a beautiful place with knowledgeable, supportive people. The evenings will be times for social connection, fun and rest.

Connect and bond as a group, creating "sacred space." Dine on island specialties on the deck, swim in the villa pools or the nearby tropical bays, hike in the natural settings, and socialize in the evenings under the stars.

Meals and Transportation

Transportation on the island is casual, safari open-air style, always available for trips to the beach or duty-free shopping. Flights are to nearby St. Thomas STT and taxi transportation takes you to the St. John ferry. We meet you on St. John and escort you to the villas. 

Meals are delicious and healthy, with casual breakfast provisions of fresh tropical fruits, smoothies, breads, granolas at each villa to accommodate your personal morning preferences and schedule. Lunches are prepared picnic-style for the afternoon adventures. Wonderful dinners including island specialties and vegetarian fare are catered and served on the deck under the stairs, buffet style with fabulous entrees and decadent desserts.
