Past Retreats & Residencies
Over the past several years, Rachel has hosted deeply transformative retreats and creative residencies in destinations like Tuscany and the Greek Islands, each one rooted in beauty, ritual, and artistic restoration. These gatherings have become sanctuaries for those seeking reconnection—with their creativity, with nature, and with themselves. Every retreat is thoughtfully crafted as a living work of art, where guests are invited into sacred spaces, nourishing rhythms, and a sense of belonging that lingers long after the week ends.
The most common reflection from guests?
“This experience changed my life.”
FROM ITALY— At the inaugural TOUCH EARTH residency in Tuscany 2024, we gathered in the golden hills for a week of elemental ritual—firing raku in a small Italian village, plunging into wild waters for natural bathing, sharing handmade pasta, and melting into wood-fired saunas. Our days moved through sound baths, sacred meals, and soft conversation under the stars, each moment shaped by earth, fire, and the freedom to just be.
“It is so hard to verbalize how special it was. I will hold it dear to me forever. Thank you for bringing us all together and creating such a magical experience.”
TO GREECE— At An Ethereal Reset, a yearly pilgrimage co-hosted in the Greek Islands with Tonya Papanikolov, we float between land and sea—rising with morning practices, gathering for intimate creative workshops, and softening into slow, sun-drenched days filled with ritual, saltwater, and sacred reflection.
Let rest & regeneration become a creative act.
There are seasons in life when the deepest work we can do is to step away and return to ourselves. Choosing to reconnect with your well-being, your creative energy, your quiet knowing is not indulgent, it’s essential.
In a world that asks for constant output, these experiences offer something different: a space to be nourished, to listen, and to be seen. And within that space, something powerful happens—genuine connection, new ideas. Not surface-level chatter, but the kind that happens when women gather with open hearts, shared intention, and room to just be. In these quiet, creative, and sacred moments, we remember: we were never meant to do this alone.
