Lost in an unending loop of responsibilities and distractions? Longing for a transformative escape? Join host Meghan Thomas with special guests Jaime Weisberg and Tracy Dando Mergler as they take you on a journey through the profound power of retreats in this episode. 

Explore with us as we discuss exactly how retreats provide us with a chance to hit the pause button on our fast-paced lives, enabling us to disconnect from the world and reconnect with our authentic selves. We also touch on the collective and individual energy experienced during a retreat and how this allows us to safely step into our vulnerability, to connect and be seen. We also discover new tools that can be brought back into our lives that will have a profound effect on not only ourselves but the people closest to us as well. 

We warmly invite you to join us at our upcoming retreat - Root to Rise: Connect and Be Seen at the beautiful VanderKamp in Cleveland New York. We've designed this retreat to be a sanctuary for self-care and self-reflection. We offer a variety of activities aimed at helping you connect with your inner-self, while fostering a sense of belonging among participants. We also shed light on how we've made accessibility and affordability central to our retreat, with special scholarship opportunities for those in need. With a combination of movement, positive psychology and group circles is our way of creating a safe space for vulnerability, healing, and connection. 

Root to Rise is more than just a retreat. It’s our mission to empower you to trust your own voice, to build a life that resonates with your inner truth and find a community that truly supports you. We can't wait to meet you and help you embark on this transformative journey.
