The Radiant Retreat: Your New Horizon Beckons

Step into the beauty of preserved nature, beach waves, and the warm sun. Come rest, breathe, and make room for your new horizon.

For 19 years, The Radiant Retreat has offered a unique, friendly, and beautiful space for rest, self-reflection, creativity, and inspiration.

This year, we’ll explore something at the heart of peace and joy: belonging to your creative self.

Your unique creative self is the part of you that knows what you love, what has meaning, what sparks curiosity, and what brings you alive. 

It doesn’t need outward approval. It asks you to pay attention, follow what uplifts you, and make room for the life that wants to emerge.

Whether you want to slow down, reconnect with yourself, listen to your intuition, or simply step away from the demands of everyday life, this retreat offers space to notice what calls to you.

Led by yoga teacher, writer, and artist Jennifer Schelter, with 30 years of professional experience, each day offers a balance of structure and freedom.

Mornings begin with meditation and journaling, followed by gentle yoga to strengthen, balance, and awaken the body.

Afternoons invite you into memoir and creative writing sessions, where you can explore your voice, your stories, and the things that matter to you. No writing experience is required.

In between, there’s time to savor fresh gourmet meals, nap in a hammock, walk the beach, swim, hike, explore excursions, or do nothing at all.

At Xinalani, nature does some of the teaching. The jungle, mountains, and ocean are at your doorstep, and the pace of the day allows you to release what doesn’t serve your soul, mind, or heart.

Many participants return year after year for the kind community, connection, laughter, inspiration, and the freedom to simply be themselves.

Come rest. Come pay attention. Come belong to the beauty of your creative self.

A new horizon beckons.
