Celebration of Love - Wellness Campout Retreat

🌿 Unplug. Reconnect. Breathe Easy.

Come pitch a tent, park your camper, or rent a cozy spot under the trees and celebrate the sweet, simple joy of being human. The Celebration of Love is a laid-back, family-friendly retreat where BBQ meets barefoot yoga and wellness blends with real-life vibes.


No fake fancy here — just good people, fresh air, self-care, and a little bit of campfire magic.

🙊 What to Expect

Yin & Gentle Yoga under the trees

Massage Technique Classes

GongFu Tea Ceremonies

DIY Essential Oil Workshop (sprays & rollers)

Qi Gong Sessions

Campfire hangouts, stargazing, and chill time

⛺️ Come Camp With Us

  • Pitch your own tent

  • RV & car camping welcome

  • Tent rentals available

Bring your yoga mat (or borrow ours), your comfy clothes, and the version of yourself that’s ready for a breather from the daily grind.

💖 Who’s This For?

  •  For Massage Therapists & Bodyworkers**

    *Refill Your Cup: A Weekend for Hands That Heal*

    Take a break from giving and come receive. This is your chance to reconnect with your body, your practice, and a supportive community of like-minded healers. Learn hands-on techniques in a relaxed setting, enjoy gentle yoga, and share stories by the campfire.

  • For Yoga Teachers & Practitioners**

    *The Yin to Your Hustle*

    Whether you teach yoga or just love it, this weekend is all about slowing down and reconnecting. Join us for gentle movement, breathwork, and grounded energy under the stars. No tight schedules, no judgment—just flow, fun, and freedom.

  • For Gongfu Tea Lovers & Natural Living Enthusiasts**

    *Sip. Stretch. Soothe.*

    This isn't your average retreat. Learn the beauty of Gongfu tea ceremony, make your own essential oil rollers and scrubs, and relax into a flow of earthy, balanced living. Campfire talks and brisket? Yes. Morning meditation with tea? Also yes.

  •  For Couples & Families**

    *Reignite, Reconnect, Relax*

    Spend a weekend under the stars, away from screens and schedules. Whether you're bringing your partner or your kids, there's space for everyone here. We’ll have movement, mindfulness, and plenty of downtime to just be together.

  • For the Everyday Joe & Blue Collar Folks**

    *This Ain’t No Juice Cleanse*

    No kale, no culty vibes, and no pressure to chant in Sanskrit. This weekend is about getting outside, stretching out the stress, eating real food, and learning things you can actually use back home. Come camp, connect, and kick it with good folks.

  •  For the Self-Discovery Curious Crowd**

    *Not All Retreats Are the Same*

    You don’t have to be spiritual or super fit to enjoy a weekend like this. This is about finding what feels good for *you*—trying new things, laughing a lot, and maybe discovering a piece of yourself that got lost in the noise.


This isn’t just for yogis or crunchy types — it’s for the BBQ dads, the stressed-out moms, the solo adventurers, the couples needing reconnection, the friends who said “I just need a weekend away.”


If you’re craving a soulful reset without the pretentious pressure, this is your sign.

🍽️ Meals That Feel Good

We’re not a meat-free retreat. We’re a balanced retreat. Expect juicy BBQ (ribs, burgers, brisket), hearty sides, and a salad bar for all the green lovers. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks, coolers, and beverages. This is a no-judgment zone. Come as you are.
