"This has been my first retreat, and my experience during the six days of my stay with Aarya have been profound. The farm is a magical place! The house is perfectly curated with the most essential items to ensure that you have everything you need. The nature surrounding the house is vibrant and pours with life during the day and at night.

 

Every day, Aarya helps you to set the intention before embarking on your journey. She is incredibly accommodating, but will always give you the time and space needed to be at one with yourself. The food is nourishing, cleansing and amazing! Aarya is a fantastic cook! Most of the food comes directly from the farm :) 

 

During my time here, Aarya has been an excellent guide in helping me to overcome my limitations and allowing me to embody Pure Love! She is a beautiful soul with a great sense of humor. I have cherished every moment with her. Before arriving, I was in a dark place and felt very lost. Her teachings and presence have allowed me to recognize the light that radiates within me.

 

I cannot thank her enough for spreading her light. It has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. And I hope you are able to have this experience as well. You are Pure Love!

"The experience with Aarya was absolutely amazing.

I loved how the retreat was centered around what I was needing in the moment.

We talked about area’s that I need support with such as more self reflection, removal of outside distractions (cellphone!), and just living in the moment. We walked through the most beautiful trail that led to a private beach. We watched the sunset in silence while sitting on lava rocks. One night she did a sound bath and my spirit felt so cleansed afterward. The food was AMAZING, filling, and aided in some digestion issues I was experience. I will definitely be back. Thank you Aarya for helping bring out the inner peace that  was already within me the whole time. Until next time ❤️ “

"There are experiences in this life that cannot be adequately described through the written word.

 

My week with Aarya was one of these comprised of many breathtaking and awe-inspiring moments throughout our time together. Everything flowed in divine perfection leaving me feeling peace, joy, love, and gratitude.

 

It was exactly the life reset I needed to find balance, clarity, and a deep awareness of my heart and soul’s deepest desires. 

 

Aarya truly takes care of everything and holds you in the highest vibration of love down to the beautiful homemade plant-based meals,  personalized guided meditations, sound baths, and yoga! 

 

Our week together was life-changing! I am grateful that the universe connected me with such a beautiful kind gentle soul as Aarya!

What makes this retreat special?

- ”Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”― Hippocrates

“The body is like a piano, and happiness is like music. It is needful to have the instrument in good order.” – Henry Ward Beecher

 

The alchemy that gets created when we are together! It is beyond words...

Starting with

Your trust in life to take you where you need to be. Here and Now. And the magical time we will share

Your openness to take the jump, come, share, and commune with nature, with your inner being, and with life in a rich way

 

Merged with

The authentic connection that we cultivate.

 

After 20 years of living a very private lifestyle of self-discovery and inner exploration,

I am now sharing through this gem of retreat the abundance of blessings that have emerged from embodying the practices cultivated... the lifestyle choices that have taken me to feel happier, healthier, stronger, and fulfilled in the now

 

Here you are welcomed with Pure Love to support and allow for the wondrous magic of life to happen and re-discovery of your own magnificent self

 

Connected with the subtleness of life flowing through in pure beauty

Connected with the miracle of every moment without expectations, without requirements

 

This is a unique and different experience from a luxury resort. The luxury we experience here is Luxury for the soul through Silence, Peace and Deep connection

 

Come! Together, Magic Happens! 

The only way to know is by having the experience, and it's here for you, right now!
