Wander Home

Believe it or not the sun is about to rise on a New Year. We don’t know where 2024 went, but we’re ready to welcome 2025 with open arms.

Start the year bathing in the sun-lush palette of Panama. Situated on a secluded and dramatic beachfront, Santa Catalina is revered for its natural surroundings, surf, and cove beaches. Devoted to living in harmony with our natural world, together, you will find the spaces where your body and spirit are in complete harmony with sand and sea. By being in the present, you can explore your connection to nature and humanity. See the future and a brighter horizon for the new year.

There are only two spots left - is one of them yours? ✨

There’s a note that was meant for you in here. Take it in and pass it along. Someone else might need to hear it too. ✨➡️

These two beautiful wanderers met on a retreat to Bali many years ago and became fast friends. Here they are at Mount Etna, traveling together before meeting up with Wander Home for our recent Sicily retreat. 🌍✨

A fellow wanderer, all smiles, on her journey home. 🌊✨ Healing isn’t just about the tears and tough moments—it’s also about the laughter, the joy, and the lightness you find along the way. It’s about embracing the full spectrum of your experience. Here’s to the moments of peace that remind us how far we’ve come. 💛

We aren't meant to live this way: overworked, disconnected, and separated by screens and apps.

We are inherently wired for connection and community. We are meant to experience peace and clarity.

Over the past 15 years and through 60+ retreats around the world, we have witnessed how retreats can be a transformative space for thousands of participants to 'come back home' to themselves, to nature, and to each other. 🌿

Sound like a journey you’re ready to embark on? Our 2025 retreats to Panama & Nosara are booking up quickly. Is there a spot calling your name?

Wellness isn’t about being happy and positive 24/7. ✨

It’s okay to feel frustrated when you hear, ‘It’ll happen when you stop trying,’ or ‘Have you tried meditation?’ 🙄

Wellness is a journey, not a destination filled with endless good vibes and perfect advice. Some days it’s messy, and that’s completely normal. Your feelings are valid—no need to sugarcoat them.

Remember, growth happens through the ups *and* the downs. Just keep going. 💪

Is there anything better than turning on your OOO auto-reply. Wanderers, here’s a template you can use if you’re joining us on one of our fall retreats!

Subject: OOO: Finding My Zen 🧘‍♀️

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out. I’m currently on a magical retreat where my biggest responsibility is deciding between yoga at sunrise or a meditation session by the ocean. 🌿✨

I’ll be back [return date], hopefully more zen, less stressed, and with way too many herbal tea recommendations. Until then, I’ll have no access to emails, work, or anything that remotely resembles productivity. 📵

If it’s urgent, please contact [colleague’s name], who’s far less likely to be in a hammock right now.

See you soon,
[Your Name]

P.S. If you’re wondering how I’m doing, just picture a perfectly steeped cup of chamomile—calm, warm, and blissfully unaware of deadlines. 😎

Your Fall could look a little something like this …. wander with us.

✈️ Sicily | September 21 - 28 | 1 room left
✈️ Spain | September 29 - October 5 | 1 double room left

Or, join us in 2025 for Panama, or Nosara!

In today’s busy world, we’re exposed to alot of noise and stimulus on a regular basis which means we also need to be taking steps to calm our nervous systems on a regular basis.

Swipe for some techniques that can quickly help you ground down when you need it most. ✨

Burnout can happen to anyone. Even those of us who love what we do. Here are some signs to look out for:

🥱 Feeling persistently tired and drained, even after getting rest.
🤒 Experiencing a weakened immune system, leading to frequent colds and other infections.
😔 Constantly feeling like nothing you do is good enough, leading to a lack of confidence.
😟 Feeling disconnected from your surroundings, leading to withdrawal from social interactions.
😏 Delaying tasks or avoiding them altogether, even when they are important.
🍸 Increased reliance on substances to manage stress and burnout.
🧐 Struggling to focus on tasks or experiencing frequent forgetfulness.
🤷 Having trouble making decisions or feeling overwhelmed by choices.

It’s a new month! Check in with some journal prompts to embrace the end of summer and welcome fall. 🍂

✨“What were the highlights of this summer? What lessons did I learn, and how can I carry them into the fall?”
✨“What are my goals and intentions for the fall season? How can I prepare myself mentally, physically, and emotionally for the change in seasons?”
✨ “How have I grown over the summer, and in what areas of my life do I want to continue growing this fall?”

Our Santa Catalina retreat is coming up January 12th, 2025 and there are so many ways to wander home.

✨ Retreat solo
Attending a yoga retreat solo allows for deep personal introspection and growth, free from external distractions. It fosters a stronger connection with oneself, enhancing mindfulness and self-awareness, while also providing the freedom to engage fully in the retreat's activities and community.

✨ Retreat with a friend
Attending a yoga retreat with a friend can enhance the experience through shared support and motivation, making it easier to try new practices and maintain enthusiasm. It also strengthens your bond, providing opportunities to deepen your connection through shared experiences and personal growth.

✨ Retreat with your partner
Attending a yoga retreat your partner can deepen your relationship by fostering mutual growth and understanding through shared practices and experiences. It provides a unique opportunity to connect on a spiritual and emotional level, enhancing communication and intimacy. Additionally, practicing yoga together can strengthen your bond and create lasting memories.
