inner space retreat
a body-centered, nature-rooted experience that brings you back to yourself.
Inner Space is a 4-day weekend experience in the redwood forest for you to connect to your body, clear a murky mind, and soften your nervous system in a time when life is asking more of you.
We are being invited into a deeper level of self-leadership, in our work, in our relationships, and in the way we inhabit our own bodies.
This retreat is designed as a full-body de-armoring, a space where you can release what you have been holding as you navigate this season, and return to a more grounded, clear, and steady way of being.
❋ Nourishing healthy Meals
Locally sourced, simply prepared, and designed to sustain your energy throughout the day. Meals that feel clean, satisfying, and aligned with how you want to move and feel.
❋ breathwork by michelle
A guided breathwork practice to soften the body and shift your internal state.
Michelle specializes in downregulating breathwork modalities, blending kundalini-inspired rituals with a grounded, somatic approach. Her work supports you in accessing altered states of consciousness in a gentle, safe, and integrated way.
❋ contrast therapy by the ocean
A guided group sauna experience by the ocean.
Through cycles of heat and cold, the body softens, the mind clears, and the nervous system resets. A grounded practice to release tension and return to a more balanced state
❋ hiking in the redwoods
A guided hike through the redwoods of Northern California.
Moving through fern-filled forests and past waterfalls, this is time to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the quiet intelligence of nature.

Peter’s teaching blends mobility, stability, and traditional asana to help you build a deeper relationship with your body. Each session is both grounding and challenging, designed to refine your movement, focus your mind, and connect you to your breath.

A space shaped by the people in it.
You’ll be surrounded by individuals who value presence, growth, and intentional living. Conversations unfold naturally, grounded in shared experience and a mutual respect for depth.
