The Retreat
Rest for you in a way that provides access for all.
Join us for a transformative day designed to nurture rest, reflection, and connection. The Retreat is a gathering where wellness meets intention — bringing together thoughtful programming, restorative practices, and conversations that inspire.
Your participation in The Retreat directly supports The Process Wellness Foundation, a nonprofit committed to making therapy accessible. The Foundation provides low- and no-cost therapy for individuals, couples, families, and teens who otherwise could not afford care, while also ensuring therapist trainees are paid a livable wage, a practice that is uncommon in today’s field.
Throughout the day, you’ll experience guided wellness activations, nourishing meals, and the opportunity to connect deeply with yourself and community. Hosted at Wren, a serene neighborhood wellness space with light-filled interiors and calming amenities like sauna and cold plunge, the setting provides the perfect backdrop for a day of connection, reflection, and care.
A highlight of The Retreat is our featured panel conversation, where we’ll explore the intersections of wellness, creativity, and resilience with four inspiring women:
Dr. Sahar Martinez — Founder of The Process Wellness Collective, licensed marriage and family therapist, and advocate for collective healing. saharmartinez.com
Zabie Yamasaki — Author, educator, and trauma-informed yoga practitioner dedicated to creating empowering spaces for survivors. zabieyamasaki.com
Megan, Founder of Wilde House Paper — Creative entrepreneur and designer crafting intentional tools for mindful living. wildehousepaper.com
Natalie Valle, Founder of Love and Alchemy — Sound healer, breathwork facilitator, and mindfulness guide committed to helping others reconnect with their inner wisdom. loveandalchemy.com
Moderated by Nicole Fournié of D’être Creative Co., Creative Director at The Process Wellness Collective and owner of a creative agency rooted in storytelling and intentional brand strategy. nicolesmolinski.com
Together, they’ll share perspectives on building meaningful practices that sustain both personal well-being and community care.
