Day Onearrive. land. connect.
You arrive in Seward and step out of your normal life and into the trees, the mountains, the water, and the rhythm of the retreat. This day is about softening the edges, shaking off travel, and meeting the women who will walk beside you for the next four days. We open the circle, share our first meal, and let play and connection dissolve the outside world. Nothing to perform.
The journey starts here.

Day Twoignite. embody. rise.
Through our somatic practices we connect with water in our flow and then fire as we build heat and rise. The sauna and cold plunge invite contrast, effort and surrender, fire and water, awakening your vitality and bringing the group fully into its shared energy.
Our days will begin in silence with an open coffee & tea bar before our morning practice. This is where we begin to connect to the elements.
After our practice, we will head to breakfast together and from there, depending on the day we will have free time, group activities (somatic practices, hike etc…) and 1:1 photoshoots will begin (every attendee will schedule a specific time slot)
We will come together for a nourishing dinner and after enjoy our night activity (cozy crafts, sauna, fire ceremony etc…)

Day ThreeRoot. create. release.
We walk into the wild, feet on the earth, through the trees, mountains rising around us. The ocean becomes our ceremony of rebirth, a threshold crossed together. In the afternoon, creativity gives form to what has been moving within you, something seen, something felt, something ready to be transformed. As night falls, we gather at the fire on the beach to let go, witnessed, supported, and forever changed.

Day Threeintegrate. soften. return
The final morning arrives gently. We move slowly, breathe deeply, and take in the landscape one more time, and the version of ourselves who now stands within it. In our closing circle, we honor what was released, what was reclaimed, and what we are carrying home.

Im so ready. Lets do this!
Lets talk about money
Let’s be honest - this is a big investment.
And money can bring up a lot. I get it. I’ve built my life and my business in real time, and I know what it feels like to look at something you deeply want and also have to figure out how to make it work.
So Im going to keep it real with you-
This retreat is all-inclusive: your lodging, daily movement and rituals, red-light sessions, sauna and cold plunge, creative workshops, all meals, your private photoshoot, your aura portrait, and the full experience of being held in a small, intimate group in one of the most beautiful places in Alaska.
There are only 11 spots because that’s the size that allows this to be personal, spacious, and deeply supported. Payment plans are available for every room, and the $400 deposit holds your place while you take the time to complete the investment.
If this is something your body is saying yes to, but your brain is trying to figure out — you’re not alone in that. You’re welcome to reach out and talk through options

Burn & Bloom was never just about movement for me.
It was born from a desire to create spaces where humans can be real and present- in their bodies, in their stories, and in their transformation.I’m not interested in perfect poses or curated wellness. I care about nervous systems, truth, deep connection, and the kind of experiences that change you from the inside out.
I spent years inside systems that taught me to be quiet, to be modest, to be palatable, to disconnect from my body and call it “worthiness.”This work is the opposite of that.
I believe in spaces where you don’t have to censor your language, shrink your body, or filter who you are to be accepted. Where your healing isn’t measured by how calm you look, but by how honest you’re willing to be.
We are not here to behave.
We are here to be free.
For the last 15+ years I’ve been holding space for women in some of the most intimate and transformative seasons of their lives — through birth work, through movement, through the lens of a camera, and inside the community of Burn & Bloom.
What I care about most is creating environments that are:
trauma-aware
nervous-system informed
body-honoring
consent-led
deeply human
This retreat is the weaving together of everything I’ve built and everything I believe in:
somatic movement
ritual
being witnessed
creative expression
nature as medicine
and the power of women in an honest, supportive space
Seward is one of the places that feels most like home to me , wild, grounding, and fully alive & it’s truly an honor to share it with you in this way.
I’ll be with you through the entire experience: teaching, facilitating, photographing, and walking beside you.
