Reboot
In Your Hiking Boots
June 19-23, 2025
Berkeley, California
Ready to trade pressure for peace and rewrite your most persistent patterns?
Most people I meet are experts at powering through. You know how to get things done. But beneath all that drive, there’s often a quieter truth: limiting beliefs and old stories running the show. Beliefs like “If I slow down, I could lose it all,” Or “I have to prove my worth.”
I lived that way too—until life shattered my framework. After a long battle with cancer and a grueling treatment regimen, I emerged physically depleted and emotionally undone. But strangely, the healing that followed didn’t come through strategy or words. It came through my body— walking in nature, questioning my stressful thoughts.
Here’s the thing: unresolved stress and suppressed emotion don’t disappear. They go somewhere. Often, they show up as tension, fatigue, burnout, or the constant sense that something’s just not right—even when everything looks fine on the surface. It gnaws away at us.
That’s why I created these retreats. They offer the conditions that helped me heal and return to myself, clear-minded, happy, and content:
-
Moving your body in nature
-
Quiet moments without needing to explain your experience
-
A safe space to feel and release what you’ve been carrying
-
Inquiry to question stressful and limiting beliefs
-
A supportive community of like-minded people
You don’t have to keep pushing to find clarity or peace. There’s a way to feel more whole, alive, and free—without trying so hard. And it starts by listening to what your body already knows.
