"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Mary Oliver
Ready for an adventure? We'll Handle The Details
Are overwhelm, burnout, frustration your constant companions? Is the need to be “more productive”, do more, be more, a part of your daily narrative? Has society’s script in the world of do more, be more, and over-productivity crushed you in body, soul, spirit? Is your life-story something that you are allowing to happen TO you? Has life handed you events that have broken you?
What if we told you there was a better way. For those who have longed to shed the weight of society’s scripts and weights… we’ve created a place ~ Welcome to Haven Retreats!
Haven Retreats was born from a need for respite from Dawn’s weary soul in a world that had become too demanding. Haven Retreats are designed to empower women to change their narratives by changing their lives ~ one practice at a time. We at Haven Retreats understand that our stories are not simply something that happens to us, but what we do with what happens to us. Come along as Dawn Perry, Founder and Creator of Haven Retreats, brings to life the protocols, rituals, and modalities that have reshaped and redeemed her own broken story. The practices and practitioners shared during these transformative gatherings will introduce you to new rhythms that will allow you to work FROM rest not FOR it ~ to reclaim your identity from Broken One to Beloved. These events are designed to help you to reframe your story with the tools provided to bring healing and life to body, soul, and spirit.
Learn to do the immersive work of “unbecoming” on fabulous properties in distinctive destinations that have been hand-selected by Dawn and her team around the world. These destinations are guaranteed to nurture and empower body, soul, and spirit. Join Dawn and her practitioners as they begin to invite you to deconstruct the weights that you have carried far too long. Listen, as Dawn shares her own journey to healing and how impactful travel was in creating her motto, “Hard work should be done in beautiful spaces.”. Learn health-focused life practices to achieve your goals with a professional health coach. Acquire the skills necessary to be kinder and gentler with yourself. Envision the beautiful synergy of an itinerary that provides a harmonious mix of rest and rebuilding. Imagine waking up on idyllic sugar-sand beaches as vibrant turquoise waters lap at the shoreline with nary a soul in sight. This is where you begin your day with the practice of body work ~ learning to invite your body’s voice into the conversation of your life: to hear the secrets she holds and the traumas she’s so graciously carried for you. Stretch your brave while snorkeling offshore with dolphins and looking for conch in brilliant blue and indigo waters. Sit in a cooking lesson offered by a regional chef that brings traditional dishes to life with health and wholeness being the main ingredients. Perhaps learning to incorporate unforced rhythms of grace is best internalized amidst the myths, mountains, and Mediterranean charms of the Peloponnese Peninsula of ancient Greece, or one of her outer islands. If food and fable are your passion, Italy provides the backdrop for healing that has lured creatives for centuries in Tuscany and beyond. Truffle hunting, regional food tours and cooking lessons have captured Dawn’s own heart for this region.
