Rivers of Connection Retreat
Escape to the serene beauty of The Great River Ranch, surrounded by 175 acres of private hiking & biking trails and picturesque scenery. This tranquil environment sets the stage for a two night transformative retreat focused on deep human connection.
This indoor/outdoor immersive experience will leave you with a circle of new friends and help you discover new pathways to explore relationships, personal growth, and the magic of human connection. Through group facilitation and play-based activities, we’ll uncover blind spots, challenge deep-rooted beliefs, and begin shifting perspectives. Together we will create a container where we can tap into vulnerability, practice empathy and listen for understanding.
Our facilitator Becky Galvez says “I’m excited about the opportunity to be with open-hearted and curious people, to share in your life stories and beliefs, and to create lifelong connections.”
