About your trip

Join Sheila Ewers, founder of Seek Yoga and Travel, and Julie Breedlove Montemerlo, Founder of Wise Waves Wellness on this auspicious solstice weekend to connect to the light within YOU.

Whether you are seeking renewal, connection, or simply time to pause and breathe, this time will offer you sacred space to honor the sun's energy and embrace your own inner light. 


Each day will begin with yoga. We'll explore walks through nature, fire ceremony, sound healing, and community gathering under the stars, and we'll be nourished with delicious plant-based meals to fuel an inner glow.


Come as you are, and leave recharged, inspired and deeply connected to the rhythms of the earth and yourself.
