One of the most intentional parts of every retreat isn't the schedule.
It's who gathers around the table.
Over the years, I've come to believe that nourishment is about so much more than what is served on a plate. It's about the people preparing it, the energy they bring, the conversations they inspire, and the care they pour into every detail.
That's why I never simply look for a chef.
I look for someone whose presence nourishes as deeply as their food.
This September in Maine, one of those people will be Aki.
Long before she became part of our retreat, she became part of our Sacred Circle. Watching her care for others through food reminds me that a meal can become a form of hospitality, healing, and connection all at once.
One of my favorite parts of curating retreats is introducing extraordinary people to one another.
The guides.
The chefs.
The healers.
The guests.
Because I have learned that the right people don't simply make an experience beautiful.
They become part of one another's journey.
My question to you...
Who has ever nourished you in a way you'll never forget?
