May Immersive Retreat

Our Intention

Embodying Refuge creates intentional space to slow down and step out of the constant demands of work and responsibility. The retreat emphasizes embodiment—settling the nervous system, reconnecting with the body, and restoring a sense of steadiness and presence.

Through mindfulness-based practices, time in nature, and shared reflection, participants explore what it feels like to be more grounded and attentive in their own experience. Guided integration and values-based inquiry support carrying this sense of steadiness back into daily life in practical, sustainable ways.

Hosted by Dr. Nikki Davis, clinical psychologist and founder of Living Refuge, alongside members of the Living Refuge Collective, the retreat is held within a trauma-informed, professionally grounded container that integrates mindfulness, embodiment, and integrative mental health principles into a cohesive experience.

What To Expect

This retreat is designed with equal attention to depth and ease. Over four nights and four days, participants are supported in slowing down through a balance of embodied practice, meaningful connection, and restorative experiences that engage both body and senses.

Each day includes guided inner work alongside spacious time to rest, reflect, and simply be. The rhythm is intentional but unhurried, allowing participants to settle more fully into the experience as the days unfold.

You can expect:

🌿 Daily guided mindfulness, meditation, and gentle movement
🌿 A permaculture farm tour with hands-on activities such as juicing, foraging, or pickling
🌿 Kayaking or boating along the St. Sebastian River
🌿 Access to sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub rotations
🌿 An optional ketamine-assisted session for eligible participants (medical and psychological screening required)
🌿 Ample unstructured time for journaling, reflection, or exploration

Some moments will be quiet and inward; others more communal and light. All experiences are designed to support nervous system regulation, embodied presence, and a steadier way of engaging with work and life.
