FLOURISH

an epic destination retreat for the precious unfolding of your wild soul.

 

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anaïs Nin

 


This is the ultimate life enhancing, soul expanding week-long retreat for ambitious wisdom seekers. Flourish means “to blossom, to grow,” and we will inspire this opening through an honest exploration of the Self through heart work, shadow work, somatic work, and energy work. This will be a playful and deep journey into soulful self-mastery (mindfulness, vulnerability, and gratitude) and heart-centered leadership (connection, courage, and authenticity).

 

Join us in Santa Marta, Colombia!

March 6-12, 2025

This is an opportunity to explore the depths of how you truly want to show up in the world, what your soul is yearning for most, and how to align with that calling with more ease, grace, and genuineness. With a blend of energy cultivation rituals, human relating processes, somatic practices, mind/body release techniques, exquisite bodywork, soulful adventures, inspiring community, and the magic of Colombia - you will find no other retreat experience quite like this one. 


PURE MAGIC! This was was hands down the best things I did for myself in 2017. Not only did I get to experience a completely magical part of the world with an incredible group of people, I also got to practice yoga and do some meaningful leadership and personal development work with one of my favorite mentors, Amber Campion. I’ve now been on three retreats with Amber and it’s clear that she puts her heart and soul into these trips and cares deeply about delivering a transformational experience to all who attend. I loved the intimate size of our group and connecting with other inspirational changemakers who are out there breaking molds and living a life they are passionate about. At the time of this retreat, I had recently started a new business, was in the midst of purchasing my first home, and was in a bit of a transitional time in my life. Amber helped me to get clear on a lot of my goals and helped me to transition into this new chapter of my life with a toolbox of knowledge that has proven to be very valuable. Amber and here team did an incredible job organizing this trip. As someone who organizes yoga retreats for a living, I know the amount of work that goes into providing a seamless travel experience, and they went above and beyond for all of us. Thank you for an incredible experience! I can’t wait to attend another retreat with you in the future!

Exploring Colombia

Caribbean Coast of Colombia

We will be spending 6 nights / 7 days at the luxurious Gitana Del Mar retreat center, located on a wild and remote beach at the foothills of the impressive and magical Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world’s highest Coastal Mountain Range. 

This area is referred to as the Heart of the world, not only because of its geographical location, but more importantly because every single ecosystem exists and thrives in the Sierra Nevada mountains. There is no better place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, relax, and recharge.

During your retreat week, Amber will guide yoga classes, along with transformational workshops, to help you deep dive into your experience. This retreat also includes an all levels guided group river tubing excursion to the nearby Don Diego River, as well as a Kogi Spiritual Ceremony. There will be plenty of opportunities to partake in optional activities to help you explore the gorgeous beaches, waterfalls, and mountains of the region. For more info on optional excursions, please click here

Gitana Del Mar will provide upscale, boutique accommodations, as well as nourishing, locally sourced meals provided by their fantastic private chef, and optional massage and Ayurvedic spa services. There will also be plenty of time to relax around the resort pool, or hang out on an oceanfront hammock. 

The Excursions

Nature

Excursion 1: Together, we will enjoy the natural and relaxing adventure of floating the Don Diego River to the beautiful and blue Caribbean Sea. During this 4 hour tour, we will witness an amazing path full of exotic flora and fauna native of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

We will have the time to see howler monkeys, a great variety of birds, butterflies and even the snowy peaks if the weather permits it. On the arrival at the mouth of the river, we can explore a solitary beach. After a bit of hang out time, we will come back by boat up the river and be back at the resort by lunchtime.

Culture

Excursion 2: The Kogi are one of the oldest and most traditional surviving indigenous tribes of South America. They consider themselves the elder brothers, they maintain the role of wisdom keepers and guardians of the earth. They hold the responsibility to care for the great mother Earth.

Some Kogis have decided to share part of their wisdom with us. So, they occasionally come down from their sacred villages high in the Sierra Nevada mountains to offer ceremonies to help us understand the balance of nature and the need to honor, respect and protect our natural world.

The ceremony is led by a Kogi Mamo (Shaman), and consist in a cleansing of our energy, body, mind & soul as well as a “pagamento” (payment to the land) in which we transfer our intangible thoughts into shells as a payment to receive the blessing of the great mother.

The classes + Workshops

Yoga + Transformational Workshops

Our workshops will be rich, meaningful, and deep. They will range from yoga (Dynamic Release Flows), bodywork, breathwork, and experiential, human relating practices to connect deeper with your truth and build radical connection (with self and others). And THIS image is our studio space for the week!


I would travel far and wide to take class with you again. I’ve never met a teacher who has come close to the magnificence, presence, skill, and art of your classes.
