Inner Sanctum

Hosted by: Dani Kilpatrick

December 30, 2026 - January 3, 2027

An intimate New Year’s retreat in Joshua Tree devoted to remembrance, embodiment, and the sacredness of being fully alive. For four nights, we’ll step away from everyday life and into intentionally curated community, creating space to slow down, listen inward, and explore what is asking to be seen, remembered, reclaimed, or lived more fully. Through guided practices, meaningful conversation, movement, breathwork, sound, ritual, nature, nourishment, rest, and celebration, we’ll deepen self-trust, reconnect with what matters, and practice living from what is true. This isn’t an invitation to become someone new. It’s a sacred return to self—an opportunity to enter the year ahead more deeply rooted in who you already are, and more intentional in how you choose to live, lead, and meet the world around you.

First Light Retreat - a Sankalpa Journey in the High Desert

Hosted by: Flood Yoga with Kate Holter & Evelina Miropolsky

January 6 - 10, 2027

There's a stillness that lives in the desert — the kind you can only find when you finally stop moving fast enough to hear it. Sankalpa is a Sanskrit word often translated as "intention." But it's not a resolution, not a promise to become someone new. A sankalpa is a seed already planted within you — a truth you've simply forgotten beneath the noise. This retreat is not about becoming. It's about remembering. From January 6th–10th, 2027, we're gathering at Gaia Villa — just fifteen minutes from Joshua Tree National Park — to step into the new year with softness instead of striving. Four nights among the boulders and the wide-open sky. Slow Flow yoga sessions to meet your body where it is. Desert hikes that ask nothing of you but presence. A cacao ceremony and sound bath to settle what words cannot reach. Vegetarian meals shared in community, a saltwater pool and cold plunge to return you to yourself, and quiet hours for the kind of creativity that only comes when you finally have room to breathe. You don't need to arrive with answers. You only need to arrive.

A four-day Pilates and wellness retreat in Joshua Tree to move, breathe, reconnect, and make a little space for what comes next. We’ll start our days with energizing Pilates and mindful movement, and weave in breathwork, meditation, restorative practices, sound, and a special New Moon ceremony under the desert sky. And in between? Thoughtfully curated farm to table meals, a guided hike through Joshua Tree National Park with a sound experience and cacoa ceremony, long sunsets, good music, dance parties and plenty of time to slow down and simply enjoy being somewhere beautiful together. This is the MVMT we’ve always believed in—movement that goes beyond the workout, and a Pilates community built around connection, feeling good, and experiencing it all together.

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!
