Inner Growth For Light Workers
RISE above the ordinary
Curating retreats for your extraordinary journey
WELCOME TO RISE RETREAT
For those who are embracing transition, ready to authentically expand their ability to serve.
Where the power of nature, community, and self-inquiry converge to guide you towards a life of radical authenticity and purposeful impact. Let’s rise together to meet the promises of a new chapter in your life.
"Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river" — Lao Tzu
RISE Philosophy
Our name, RISE, symbolizes a journey of ascension, reflecting nature’s innate ability to flourish and renew itself.
Our retreat serves as a haven for those embarking on this brave and often lonely journey of self-reinvention. RISE Retreats is designed for service leaders at a pivotal point in their lives, ready to ignite their inner visionaries and lead with renewed purpose. We don’t promise instantaneous life changes. Instead, we focus on laying a solid foundation for your journey.
The concept of the ‘seed’ lies at the heart of our philosophy – representing potential, growth, and the beginning of something new. Just as a seed requires nurturing soil, sunlight, and water to grow, we provide the essential elements for your next story: a supportive community, reflective coaching tools, practices to deepen your service capacity and the healing power of nature.
Your RISE Retreat Journey
We will emulate the journey of the seed in our time together and the sessions will be anchored in the phases of a seed.
Our approach brings ancient wisdom to modern day life. Some of our teachers and influences include Jungian depth psychology, teachings of the Tao and non-duality, the power of rituals and receiving “medicine” in and from nature.

“This retreat has truly been a gift, enabling me to discern the seeds I need to plant and leave behind as I move forward. I am also grateful for the instructors who have been a source of calm and inclusive energy throughout this retreat. Their presence and guidance have supported me immensely.”
Evelyn Luan
“At first, a ‘seed’ felt like a really nebulous concept, and could have potentially been overwhelming. But the facilitation was brilliant and it helped me process my metaphorical 'seed journey' that I didn't existed wihin me.”

To the coaches & therapists:
We’re here to help you fully embrace and express your authentic selves while forging deeper, heart-centered connections with others. This retreat isn’t just a pause; it is designed to equip you with innovative tools for both personal growth and professional application.
To the healers
Becoming a healer is a journey of profound transformation, often accompanied by a loss of personal identity. We honor your journey and the patience with which you’re rediscovering yourself. We provide a space for you to explore and embrace your evolving identity, beyond the roles of family and career.

"The quietude has been instrumental in channeling my intuition and fostering a dialogue with it. Your guidance, through the flow of questions and reflections, has been immensely helpful in navigating my inner journey. It has encouraged me to delve deeper into understanding my true self, uncovering layers of my being, and gaining clarity on the authentic path I should tread."
While I initially came here seeking personal healing, I now realize that we are all healing one another and providing support as a community. I am truly grateful for the intentional setup of the space, which has allowed us to open our hearts without hesitation.
