Workshops blending neuroscience, mindfulness, and somatic practices to integrate stillness into our daily lives for sustainable success.

All meals included (nutritious and Ayurvedic-inspired).
choose your own adventures
Nature-based guided and self-led experiences for accessing deeper stillness.
What makes us different
True Digital Detox: No WiFi. No notifications. No Slack pings. Our Arkansas mountain retreat clears away digital noise so your brain can finally rest and reset.
Sensory-Based Regulation: Lasting change happens through the body, not just the mind. We use sound, taste, smell, and touch to anchor real, embodied calm that your system actually remembers.
The Curated Well Method: 50+ years of combined expertise blending Western neuroscience with Eastern wisdom. We don't just teach you to meditate—we show you why your brain resists it and give you science-backed tools to work with your physiology, not against it.
Nature as Co-Facilitator: Nestled along the White River in Arkansas mountains, our location isn't just pretty—it's therapeutic. Research shows nature immersion naturally downshifts your system, and we intentionally design the retreat around this healing power.
Curated experiences.
Your retreat, your way. Choose from a variety of practices that fit your style—from riverside meditation to mindful movement—with optional add-ons like kayaking and guided hikes to deepen your connection.
Sustainable application.
Retreat should not be an escape. We believe retreat experiences should have lasting impact on your daily lives. Our integration support ensures the practices stick when you return to emails and deadlines. We teach you to carry stillness, not escape to it.

Testimonials
“The Returning to Self retreat was both peaceful and helpful. What stood out most for me was learning to be intentional during meditation by asking myself what I need—something I hadn’t done before. I really enjoyed the yoga and meditation sessions, and meeting new people added to the experience. The house was spacious and had plenty of room for everyone. Overall, I had a wonderful and fulfilling time at the retreat.”
Sara Davis, Past Retreat Participant
“One of the most valuable takeaways from the retreat was learning how important it is to slow down, something I really needed at the time while trying to finish my PhD. That experience helped me rebuild my mind-body connection and taught me to be more present, even during the most intense periods of my life."
Dr. Yulya Naussbaum, Past Retreat Participant
“I loved getting to be in a shared space practicing meditations that gave opportunities to share and hear others’ reflections. It is so powerful to practice with a diverse group of women with different levels of exposure to meditation practices, yet relating to each other’s experiences so deeply.”
Rae Cooper, LCSW Past Event Participant
