A Journey Back to Yourself
Feb 3rd-7th, 2027
An Integrated Healing Retreat in El Salvador with the Soul + Body family
When the life you've been living no longer fits, give yourself the space to discover what comes next.
Join us in El Salvador for an immersive retreat rooted in ancestral wisdom, plant medicine ceremonies, connection to the land, and intentional healing.
Step away from the noise of everyday life. Create space for what you've been carrying. Reconnect with yourself and explore what it might look like to live your dream life.
When Something in Your Life Needs to Change
There are seasons in life when the way we've been living no longer feels right.
You know something needs to change, but you're not sure where to begin. You feel stuck, caught between the life you've been living and the life you sense is waiting for you.
Maybe you've been going through the motions, showing up for everyone around you, doing what you're supposed to do, yet feeling disconnected from yourself in the process.
Maybe you've reached a point where you want to get away from it all. To move somewhere new, distance yourself from everyone and everything familiar, and start over completely.
Not because you don't care, but because you're tired. Because the way things are can no longer continue as they have been.
You may feel overwhelmed by your own thoughts, uncertain about your direction, or frustrated that despite everything you've tried, you still find yourself in the same patterns.
Part of you knows you're ready for something different. More meaning. More connection. More freedom to be who you really are.
Sometimes, we need to step outside the lives we've built to see them more clearly. To reconnect with ourselves, make room for what we've been avoiding or carrying, and begin to imagine a different way forward.
This retreat is an invitation to create that space.
Imagine Giving Yourself Permission to Pause
Imagine yourself in a hammock with a freshly cut coconut, listening to the breeze, the birds and the ocean waves. Imagine stepping away from your usual responsibilities, routines, and expectations.
Imagine waking up surrounded by the natural beauty of El Salvador- the volcanoes, the greenery and the beach, with time to breathe, feel, reflect, and simply be.
No need to hold everything together. No need to hold anyone. No need to be anything other than who you are in this moment.
Imagine having the space to listen to your body, explore what is moving beneath the surface, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked in the busyness of everyday life.
Through intentional ceremony, connection with the land, and time for reflection and integration, this retreat offers an opportunity to explore your inner world with curiosity, nourishment, and support.
The invitation is to create space for whatever is ready to be explored, released, and created.
Who We Are & Why We're Creating This Retreat
A father and daughter standing for ancestral and generational healing.
We believe that trauma doesn't have to define our lives forever. That pain can become wisdom. That the stories we've inherited, the patterns we've repeated, and the wounds we've carried don't have to determine what comes next.
We believe healing is possible. And that sometimes, the most profound transformation begins when we're willing to turn toward the parts of ourselves we've spent years trying to escape.
We know this because we've lived it.
We are a father and daughter, two generations brought together through a shared journey of healing.
Our relationship wasn't always what it is today. There was a time when distance, dysfunction, and our own unresolved pain shaped the way we related to ourselves and each other. At one point, we didn’t have a relationship. At another, we were drinking buddies, navigating our own struggles while remaining disconnected from the deeper healing we needed.
We were once broken apart. Now we heal side by side, for the ones who came before and the ones who are still becoming.
Through sacred medicine, ancestral work, and deep soul reckoning, we began to face what we had been carrying. We began to see ourselves, our relationship, and our stories differently.
We chose to do the work. We chose to meet ourselves more honestly. And along the way, we discovered a connection that extended beyond being father and daughter. We became soul family, choosing to walk alongside one another with greater awareness, love, and intention.
Today, we bring our individual paths together in service of something greater than ourselves.
At Soul & Body Healing Studio, our work brings together the physical and the spiritual, honoring the body while making space for the deeper layers of our healing. Through chiropractic and fascia care, pelvic and womb care, energy work, and ancestral wisdom, we support people in reconnecting with themselves and exploring what it means to heal from the inside out.
And now, we feel called to bring this work beyond the walls of our studio.
Two generations. Two paths. One shared intention.
Our shared mission is simple: to create a space where the body is honored, the soul is seen, and healing ripples through generations.
We hold this work with deep respect for the journeys that came before us and the generations that will come after us.
We believe that when we begin to heal our own wounds and change the patterns we carry, the impact can extend beyond us. Into our relationships. Our families. Our communities. The lives we touch and the ways we choose to show up in the world.
This is the spirit behind our retreat.

Why El Salvador?
We are creating this retreat as an invitation to step away from the familiar and enter a space where deeper reflection, connection, and transformation can unfold.
For us, this is about more than traveling somewhere beautiful. This is the land of our people. It is the land where Erick was born. Where his grandmother healed many with her hands. It’s the land, where he and most of my family sought refuge from during the civil war. It’s a land that has seen pain and has persevered. Where the people are resident.
This retreat is about creating the conditions to slow down, reconnect with self, with the land, honor the wisdom that has shaped us, and bring healing and celebration.
We know what it feels like to be caught in patterns we don't know how to change. To carry pain without knowing how to move through it. To long for something different while feeling uncertain about where to begin.
And we know that change is possible.
Our intention is to create a space to explore your own story, reconnect with yourself, and consider what you are ready to carry forward, and what you may be ready to leave behind.
Through ceremony, ancestral exploration, connection with the land, and shared community, we invite you into an experience of intentional healing and personal discovery.
Who This Retreat Is For
For the ones who are always holding it all together, and are ready to make space for themselves.
This retreat may be for you if…
You're tired of being the strong one. You're the person everyone relies on, but you're ready to make space for your own needs, too.
You're always giving, but struggle to receive. You care deeply for others, yet asking for help, setting boundaries, or prioritizing yourself can feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable.
You're feeling burned out. You've been pushing through for so long that you're ready to slow down and listen to what you need.
You've lost touch with yourself. Between your responsibilities, relationships, and the roles you play, you're wondering what you truly want, need, and desire.
You're ready to break old patterns. You recognize familiar ways of thinking, feeling, or responding that you want to understand more deeply.
You're at a crossroads. Something in your life no longer feels aligned, and you're ready to explore a different way forward.
You're longing for a reset. You need space away from everyday demands to gain perspective, reconnect with yourself, and remember what matters to you.
You're curious about ancestral wisdom and plant medicine traditions. You feel called to explore ceremonial practices in a thoughtful, intentional, and appropriately supported setting.
You're seeking meaningful connection. You want to be in community with others who value authenticity, personal growth, and the courage to look inward.
You are allowed to pause. You are allowed to receive. You are allowed to choose yourself, too.
You don't have to hold it all together here.
Participation in plant medicine ceremonies is subject to individual screening, eligibility, and the specific safety requirements of the retreat.
