So much is moving through this time and space. We are living through waves of uncertainty, grief, beauty, possibility, and profound change. A retreat to the ocean is not a departure from what is unfolding around us, nor is it an escape from the realities we face. Rather, it is an invitation to return—to our deepest, vibrant essence, to the vastness of the earth, to the rhythms of the sea, to the wisdom of our bodies, and to one another.

During our week together, we will go out on a sailing catamaran Monday through Friday to swim with wild dolphins in warm, crystal-clear waters and snorkel over vibrant reefs with sea turtles, stingrays, octopus, and more. At our waterfront retreat center, we’ll gather each morning for yoga and storytelling, share nourishing meals, and create spaciousness for both reflection and delight. There will be time to laugh, to be quiet, to move, to float, and to simply listen, reconnecting with essential aspects of our true, free essence.

Join Michelle C. Johnson and Misty Gabriel for a regenerative and restorative retreat in Cambutal, a stunning coastal town on the Pacific coast of Panama.

Restore and Return is for anyone longing to come back to their center, cultivate peace within, and carry that peace into their daily life. Together, we will explore ways to replenish our energy and respond to the challenges of our time—both individually and collectively—from a grounded, steady, and resilient place.

Five nights and six days in a beautiful natural setting for rest, reflection, connection, and joy.
