Inside the Lines: Boundaries, Connection & Healing Retreat

Join us for a restorative wellness retreat experience designed to nurture connection, self-awareness, and emotional well-being in the peaceful surroundings of Lungovita Beach Retreat.

This thoughtfully curated experience will guide participants through immersive healing practices focused on reconnecting with self, others, and the natural world within a supportive and calming environment.

The retreat will begin with a reflective workshop led by Michelle Ruthven from One Dove Consulting & Intervention, exploring the often unseen patterns that shape our relationships, communication, boundaries, expectations, and emotional responses. Through guided discussion, self-reflection, and practical exercises, participants will gain meaningful insight and tools to support healthier connections, greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and personal growth.

Following the workshop, guests will participate in an inner healing drum circle facilitated by Tovah Lalla from Get In! We’re Going Healing!, where rhythm, sound, grounding, and expression will be used to encourage emotional release, reconnection, empowerment, and inner reflection.

Together, these experiences are intended to create a supportive and transformative space for healing, reflection, empowerment, and renewal.
