Grounded Sustainability

The Meaning Behind Circle & Soil Retreats

Circle & Soil Retreats is rooted in the belief that true sustainability—personal, communal, and ecological—moves in cycles.
Just like healthy ecosystems, our wellbeing depends on rhythms of giving and receiving, work and rest, grounding and expansion. Our retreats honor these natural cycles and help guests return to balance through nervous system regulation, alignment, and intentional rest.

“Circle” represents the regenerative nature of healing and community.
It symbolizes continuity, reciprocity, shared energy, and the way we return to ourselves again and again through supportive environments.

“Soil” grounds us in the earth beneath our feet — and the nourishment it provides.
It is a reminder that all growth begins with deep roots, embodied presence, and the foundational care that sustains us. It also reflects the seasonal, chef-prepared meals that are central to our retreats: dishes that are nourishing, revitalizing, and unforgettable, crafted from ingredients drawn from the land’s rhythms. These meals connect guests to place, to season, and to the pleasure of being fully supported.

Together, Circle & Soil Retreats create an experience where guests can reset, realign, and return to themselves — grounded, replenished, and deeply nourished from the inside out.

Our mission

Our mission is to create a sanctuary where caregivers, leaders, and helping professionals can rest deeply, realign their bodies and nervous systems, reconnect with themselves, and receive the same level of care they give to others.


Through intimate group experiences, personalized healing sessions, nourishing food, and connection to the land, we guide guests toward renewal, clarity, and grounded well-being.

Our vision

Our vision is to build an ongoing retreat experience that restores the mind, body, and spirit through holistic care, nature-based rituals, and authentic human connection.


We aim to cultivate a trusted team of multidisciplinary providers who co-create transformative desert experiences up to three times a year—forming a sustainable, supportive ecosystem where guests and practitioners can thrive, heal, and grow together.

Our team

Our strength lies in our team, bringing our individuality and unique strengths together to provide transformational care, nourishment, deep rest, nervous system regulation, and spinal alignment.
