with Jill Wheeler + Debi Grilo
Join Debi Grilo and Jill Wheeler for a transformative experience designed to help you connect with yourself while connecting with others and the wonders of the wild. We invite you to rediscover what it means to belong—to each other, the land, and life itself.
This retreat, set in the heart of the Maasai Mara, Kenya, spans six inspiring nights, coaxing you to explore the frontier where humanity meets the wild. This once-in-a-lifetime journey invites you to seek adventure, practice wellness and immerse in the local community of the Maasai Mara.
Here, in the birthplace of humankind, we will reconnect to our natural selves—awaken our senses, quiet our minds, and listen deeply to what we, our communities and the earth are calling for.
