Bringing Joy to Your Journey

Half-Day Wellness Retreats for Well-Being & Connection

Take a break from your routine and join us for a half-day retreat designed to help you strengthen your personal well-being and cultivate happiness—two essential components of a fulfilling life.

The retreat begins with a two-hour interactive classroom session where you’ll explore the 8 Dimensions of Well-Being: emotional, physical, social, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, occupational, and financial. Through engaging discussions and practical strategies, you’ll learn how to enhance wellness in personal, group, and professional settings.

Additionally, participants can choose two from a variety of group activities that promote relaxation, connection, and joy to follow the classroom session. Here are a few examples:

  • 🌅 Sunrise or Sunset Yoga: Gentle movement and breathwork to center your mind and body.
  • 🌊 Well-Being on the Water: Paddleboard or kayak sessions that combine nature, mindfulness, and fun.
  • 🔥 Bonfire & S’mores: Wind down with colleagues around a cozy fire, sharing stories and sweet treats.

Go to our website to see the entire list. These activities are designed to help you reconnect—with yourself, your team, and the natural world around you.

In addition, we invite you to discover the Wellness Zone—a separate, reservable space available to students, staff, and faculty. This restorative, holistic virtual fitness area features an interactive touch screen TV with on-demand content including:

  • Yoga
  • Stretching
  • Mindfulness
  • Breathwork
  • Meditation

The Wellness Zone can be reserved in 30-minute increments and is perfect for anyone looking to recharge, refocus, or simply take a mindful break during the day.

If you’d like a more structured experience, you can join us every week on Mondays (4:30-5:30pm) and Tuesdays (2pm-3pm)for a brief 30-minute to 1 hour Guided Meditation, Mindfulness, or Yoga class.

*** Whether you’re attending the retreat or exploring the Wellness Zone on your own time, both experiences are designed to support your journey toward greater well-being and happiness.
