If you’ve ever felt like your self-care routine slips in the summer, gets overwhelmed by the pace of vacations, visitors, or to-dos, or maybe you just want to take advantage of the season to ramp up your self-care, this guide is your reminder: summer is an invitation to reset, recharge, and reconnect with yourself in fresh, feel-good ways.
Read MoreLet’s be honest – sitting in silence with your thoughts swirling around might sound more stressful than peaceful. If you’ve ever said “I can’t meditate” or “my mind is too busy,” you’re not alone. Meditation can feel intimidating or frustrating when you’re just starting out – especially if you expect immediate stillness and serenity.
Read MoreWe hear a lot about morning routines being the key to success. But what if the real secret starts the night before?
Your evening habits have the power to shape your mindset, your energy, your clarity — and ultimately, the day that follows. While most people focus on what to do after they wake up, creating intentional bedtime rituals is a powerful and often overlooked form of self-care.
If you want to wake up with purpose, peace, and motivation, it’s time to shift the spotlight to the habits that happen before your head hits the pillow.
Read MoreSummer has a rhythm all its own. The days are longer, the pace naturally softens, and the warmth invites us to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect—with nature, our bodies, and what truly matters. Whether you're lounging by the pool, enjoying a quiet evening walk, or simply savoring an afternoon coffee on your porch, the slower pace of summer provides a unique opportunity to reset your priorities and realign with what makes you feel good.
If you’ve felt the weight of rushing, overcommitting, or just craving more presence in your days, consider this your gentle invitation to embrace slower living this summer. Here's how to use the beauty of the season to come back home to yourself, so you can enjoy a season of peace, clarity, and joy.

Read MoreCreating a roadmap to better health isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about crafting something sustainable—something that fits your life, not the life of some fitness influencer who lives on green juice and morning ice baths. You’re not looking for a quick fix; you want a plan that actually works, a way to make small, meaningful changes that add up over time. The trick is knowing where to start, how to break free from the habits holding you back, and how to cultivate new ones that don’t feel like punishment.
Read MoreLife’s daily demands can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling drained, unfocused, and disconnected from ourselves. Stress isn’t just a mental burden—it has real, measurable effects on physical health, impacting everything from sleep and digestion to immune function and emotional well-being. If you’ve been feeling the weight of constant pressure, a wellness retreat could be exactly what you need to reset, recharge, and reclaim your vitality. This is exactly why we created The Sanctuary Experience as our newest retreat program. It’s purpose is to help guests unwind, tune in, and refresh from the inside out.
Read MoreOne of the key topics we explore at the retreat is mindset, overall well-being, and mental health. In today’s fast-paced world, mental health often takes a backseat to work, responsibilities, and social obligations.
