A digital dietary survey will be sent out to attendees in advance.
We want everyone to have a safe and wonderful experience. Due to the nature of our retreat venue, we do not have a commercial kitchen and all meals are prepared in a shared space.
While we take great care in food preparation, we cannot eliminate the risk of cross-contact for severe allergies. We encourage guests with significant dietary restrictions or allergies to consider bringing supplemental food items that they know are safe for their consumption.
-
This has been a common question, and the average age from my past retreats has been women ages 25—60.
Having this wide age-range has been a truly incredible thing for me to witness. It’s allowed the women to learn from one another, share life experiences, offer perspective, & deepen community. Seeing women 10+ years apart in age become friends has been a gift to witness!
Because my retreats incorporate yoga, pilates, & hiking they typically attract women who are physically active, who love to move, or who are desiring to move their bodies more.
And while our retreats are active, there is plenty of time for rest, solo time, & relaxation.
My goal for the Waves of Joy retreat is for you to leave feeling re-energized, joyful, & renewed!

About Evangeline:
I’m happy you’re here! I’m a Reiki Master, group Fitness Instructor (yoga + Pilates), a Retreat Host, and a Hiking Guide, living on the south shore of Massachusetts with my husband & our many house-plants.
I studied Sustainable Agriculture & Business in college, have worked on a number of farms over the years, and have danced since a young age. I’ve always felt deeply connected with the earth, with movement, and by being in authentic relationship with others.
I find meaning in helping others to feel connected, present, and alive to their lives, and believe one of the best ways to experience this is through movement, being out in nature, and learning to trust your intuition.
I believe that if you’re reading this right now, we were meant to cross paths, even if for a brief moment in time. Born in Massachusetts & raised around the globe (my parents were missionaries & travel-lovers), I’ve learned that self-compassion, authentic connection, and gratitude are vital pieces to finding joy and meaning in this world.
This upcoming retreat on Martha’s Vineyard is all about guiding YOU to connect more deeply with yourself, to connect authentically with others, and to experience more joy in your daily life.
I’m so excited to guide you on a journey of connection, movement, joyfulness, and community!
