Rooted in Connection: A Retreat for Therapists
Hosted by: Melissa Grisi & Monica McNeeley
September 1 - 4, 2026
This retreat designed for therapists to step away from the demands of clinical work, slow down, reconnect with themselves, spend time in nature, and build meaningful connections with other clinicians, with space for reflection, laughter, playfulness, and shared experience. Set in the quiet desert landscape near Joshua Tree, this retreat offers space for reflection, restoration, and experiential learning at an intermediate to advanced level, alongside genuine professional connection within a supportive community of therapists. The retreat is built around three core elements of connection: connection with self through reflection, rest, creativity, and movement; connection with community through shared learning and real moments of connection; and connection with nature through time in the desert landscape and experiential practices.

Just hosted our 5 night - all women’s retreat. We were 14 total and had the most beautiful time. Genuinely the most spacious home with more than enough space and corners to feel like a true RETREAT. The beds were so comfy, the bathrooms were super spacious and the place was spotless clean! The outdoor and indoor (fully stocked!) yoga shalas are beautiful. The new pool with waterfall is incredible. There’s also cold plunges and a grill outside. The living room was my favorite room as you could feel all the energy and magic from the previous guests. A truly magical home to rest, connect, eat, heal, laugh and get away from the noise. This felt like my happy place - connected with the hosts who are so kind and kept checking in. We will be hosting yearly!
