New Morning Wellness Retreat

Hope Town, Abaco, Bahamas

January 31 - February 4, 2024

Find your calm and level-up your vibration.

Elevate yourself to a new way of being.
Learn to bring calm, clarity, ease and grace into your daily life.
Get back to the life you can’t wait to wake up to every day.

Modern life is tough. Our nervous systems are overstimulated and our thought patterns need an upgrade. Sometimes we need more than a vacation—we need a total mind and body reset. Step out of your daily life for a retreat on Elbow Cay in the beautiful Abaco Islands of the Bahamas. Give yourself time to rest, heal and learn new tools for showing up in life as your most energized, calm and vibrant self.

Schedule

With the guidance and support of a team of mind-body professionals, you’ll enjoy daily yoga, deep breathing, block therapy, meditation, guided journaling, mind-changing classes and a healthy lunch. You’ll have the opportunity to experience Reiki, massage and one-on-one counseling. Each day you’ll also have free time for swimming, standup paddle boarding, snorkeling, relaxing on the beach, walking, biking, exploring Hope Town village by golf cart and dining in the local restaurants.
