ABOUT

TELL ME MORE ...

What if the real medicine you’ve been searching for isn’t something to fix you,

but something much simpler: connection - with yourself, with others, and with nature.


Rooted in grounded, evidence-based healing practices and infused with movement,

community, and joy, this retreat offers you a deeply transformative yet

refreshingly human experience.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

 

  • Guided breathwork to help release tension and shift stuck pain in the body

  • Nervous-system regulation tools to create calm and safety in the body and to help with everyday stress management

  • Self-awareness and somatic inquiry practices to look beneath the stories that have you caught and reconnect to your inner clarity

  • Movement, fascia work, and hands-on experiential workshops that help you return to the body’s natural intelligence and wisdom

  • Drumming, dancing, and time in nature to reconnect with your own inner rhythms and the rhythms of the earth

If you are feeling overwhelmed by stress or burnout, stuck in repeating emotional patterns, weighed down by relationship struggles, or simply sensing that you’re not living as fully as you could, then this retreat is for you.

If you’re desiring to feel more at ease in your body, to move through life with greater clarity and emotional freedom, to flourish in your relationships, and to reconnect with your natural joy and vitality — then this retreat will help you come home to yourself and remember what it feels like to truly live.

Between moments of laughter, shared meals, music, and quiet reflection, you’ll reconnect with the simple joy of being alive and in community.

No striving, no pretending — just real people meeting each other with openness,

honesty, and heart, remembering that connection is the medicine.

WHO ARE WE

YOUR HOSTS

Lou

Lou Piché works with the ancient art of Thai Massage, the grounding touch of Reflexology, and the gentle power of somatic breathwork to guide others back into trust with their own bodies. Her work is less about “fixing” and more about inviting people to listen inward, honor their body’s intelligence, and rediscover the natural rhythm of healing. Through movement and touch, Lou creates spaces of empowerment where others feel deeply seen and reconnected to themselves.

With a unique blend of wisdom, compassion, and her big, contagious laugh, she helps people reconnect with their bodies, release stored tension, and return to a sense of wholeness. Guided by her own healing journey, Stacey believes that while healing can be profound, it doesn’t always have to be heavy. She weaves depth with lightness, holding space where people feel seen, supported, and free to explore what wants to move through them — whether in private sessions, group circles, or breathwork with horses. www.rightthroughit.com
