Phoenix Weekend Retreats // San Diego

I escape the desert and went to sunny, sandy San Diego for a LivinitHappy retreat - LivinitHoliday.

LiviniHappy is a life coaching company that focuses on wellness and personal development. The LivinitHoliday retreat was a perfect encapsulation for this. We rented a beach house at Pacific Beach and were only one block away from the Pacific Ocean! From making family meals together, to doing activities like Musical Anchor (where you identify a song that's meaningful to you during a moment of time in your life), to practicing reiki - all of these exercises helped me to make deeper connections with those around me.

My favorite activity was “Chasing Waves”. I co-created it with LivinitHappy founder, Andy, and it stemmed from my time as a runner. I explained that my power word is “chase” and that I would build up that energy before “chasing” what I want. Each individual personalized their experience. For one participant, they used the word “endure” and did as many pushups as they could. Another sang, and even another flew.

I loved the photographs captured by Aurora G’rie. She is a San Diego based photographer and just a lovely person with a beautiful soul. I felt Aurora captured our candid moments with utter perfection.

I can’t wait to go back and chase ocean waves again.
