December Oaks Retreat: Vantage Point, Closing 2026, Creating 2027

Join us for a restorative retreat designed to help you close out 2025 with clarity and create a more intentional path for 2026. This is not simply a goal-setting weekend. It is an invitation to look back with kindness and curiosity, notice what supported you, and explore the patterns that may have kept you feeling stuck. Together, we’ll reflect on how you spend your time, where your energy goes, and how to invest more fully in the work, relationships, and experiences that bring meaning and vitality.

Pre-Session Workshop: Early Check-In Reflection
For guests arriving early, this opening workshop offers a gentle way to begin. We’ll ease into the retreat with a guided reflection on the past year, creating space to consider where you’ve been, what you’ve learned, and what you want to carry forward. It is a thoughtful introduction to the deeper work of the weekend and a chance to pause before the retreat unfolds.

1. Mapping Your Year: A Reflective Timeline

This workshop invites you to visually map your 2025, highlighting meaningful moments, accomplishments, and challenges along the way. By looking at where your time and energy went, you can better understand what has been guiding you and where you may have drifted off course. The exercise supports awareness, recognition, and growth as you prepare for the year ahead.

2. Understanding Stuckness: What Holds Us Back?

Many of us revisit the same goals year after year without seeing the progress we hoped for. In this session, we’ll explore the deeper reasons behind that feeling of stuckness through guided reflection and group conversation. Together, we’ll look at the fears, habits, and beliefs that may be getting in the way, while also identifying practical ways to move beyond them and make room for new possibilities in 2026.

3. Celebrating Wins: Recognizing Progress and Growth

It’s easy to focus on what remains unfinished, but this workshop shifts attention toward what has gone well. We’ll take time to honor your wins from the past year, both large and small, and reflect on how acknowledging progress builds confidence and motivation. This is an opportunity to give yourself credit and carry that energy forward.

4. Intentional Living: Designing a Life That Matters

As we look toward 2026, this workshop asks a simple but powerful question: how can you be more intentional with your time and energy? Through exercises and discussion, you’ll explore how to align daily choices with your values and long-term vision. The focus is on prioritizing the people, work, and activities that truly bring you life, rather than reacting to the loudest demands.

Why This Matters

This retreat is about more than planning ahead. It is about gaining perspective on how you live, recognizing what supports you, and making conscious choices for the future. By reflecting on 2025 with kindness and curiosity, you can move into 2026 with greater clarity, purpose, and a deeper commitment to what matters most.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is ideal for anyone ready to reflect on the past year and make more intentional choices moving forward. If you’ve felt caught in repeating patterns or want to understand why certain goals keep slipping away, this experience is for you. It is especially supportive for those seeking to realign personal life, career, or relationships with their values in 2026.

Price includes lodging, programming, fitness/yoga classes, contrast therapy and meals. Extra experiences, such as massage or 1:1 coaching, may be added separately after registration.

All scheduled activities are optional, allowing you to take what you need from the weekend.

Check-in is Friday between 2:00-4:00pm, with the first session beginning at 4:30pm on Friday. The retreat ends on Sunday around 10:30am, and since the property is about an hour outside San Diego, we recommend allowing extra time for travel and lunch so departure feels relaxed. An early check-in option is also available for those who would like to arrive on Thursday, giving you 3 nights and 2 full days of access to the property amenities, classes, and pre-retreat programming. This add-on will appear during registration.
