WHAT IS LISTEN?
Listen is a 3 day 2 night camping and wellness retreat in Desert Hot Springs, CA. Imagine a campout with 100 like minded humans coming together for wellness activations and workshops during the day and dance party under the starts at night!
This weekend is designed to allow space for creative expression, authentic deep connections, dance, celebration, and personal growth. We have partnered with several incredible practitioners and local wellness businesses to bring you a beautifully balanced weekend of healing and play!
WHO IS THIS FOR (and not)?
Listen is for people who are looking for depth, intentionality, authenticity, and a balance of personal work and play.
Listen is not for everyone. 1. This is not an instagram/influencer party. This is a weekend for authenticity and presence. We will have professional photography to capture and share the experience, and phones are allowed, but you will be encouraged to leave them in your tent to experience the possibilities that lie within each moment of the retreat. 2. This is not a luxury wellness experience and we do not offer VIP packages. This is a camping retreat for people who want to break away from the city to connect with nature and explore something new and challenging.
WHY LISTEN?
This will be our 7th edition of the Listen experience and we keep showing up to serve because we've seen how transformative this weekend has been for ourselves and our community.
This retreat, at it's core, is about celebrating the power of listening through mindfulness, intentional movement, and music. We find that when we take this full weekend to practice listening to ourselves and each other, we cultivate a profound sense of presence and connection around our shared humanity. This connection leads to powerful transformations, reframing core values, and we believe is part of a culture shift towards a sense of collective well-being, empowerment, and service.
