June 13-15, 2025
GATHER; for summer Renewal, Ritual and Nourishing self
Step into the sanctuary of self-care & nourishment this summer with Wendee Daniels, founder of Kitchen Revival & Illuminosity Retreats. She is a nutritional alchemist and epicurean who loves to create beauty in everything, including our most precious gift: Ourselves.
Awaken your luminous soul with curated farm to table nourishment, drop into the divine through sacred sisterhood & ceremony, reconnect with yourself & nature.
Immerse yourself in a weekend of sisterhood infused with sacred ritual, nourishing thyself, kitchen alchemy and playfulness. Spend 3 days and 3 nights creating magic in the coastal hills of Sonoma County, Northern California. Sweeping vistas, coastal forests and starlit nights while we connect through nature, friendships and nourishing, organic meals. Unwind…. begin your days with mindfulness and somatic practices and remember to see the world with child like wonder. Return home to yourself through ritual and play with the elements of Mother Earth. Co-create our altar, be the alchemist and make your own personal anointing oil and plant medicine. Learn from the deep wisdom that Food is Medicine offers. Delight your tastebuds with effervescent probiotic beverages, everyday superfoods and Wendee’s favorite nutrition hacks.
Together, in the kitchen there will be many hands creating and experiencing seasonal, nourishing delights that will be sure to fill your belly and nourish your mind, body and soul.
What to expect:
Present Moment Awareness~ drop in, be present with yourself, your surroundings & let go of everyday stressors.
Being a Receiver~ Retreat, is just that. A place to unwind and withdraw from the “to do list”. Let us do all the planning.
Inspired Growth & Discovery – Up level your self care repertoire, learn new skills and have meaningful conversations that spark insight and connection.
Restore & Rejuvenate – Prioritize self-care with ample time for relaxation and renewal.
