4 Day Redwoods National Park Retreat

Retreat Host, Chef & Yoga Guide While Samantha has hosted wellness retreats from Puerto Rico to the Pacific Northwest over the last seven years, these gatherings in the Redwoods are born of a particularly personal nature. Sam, as she's called by friends, was cosmically drawn to this area again and again, each time experiencing tremendous release and profound shifts in perspective. Besides standing in complete awe and wonder of the Redwoods, she also connected with them. She asked the tremendous towering trees to hold something for her; to take a load she had been carrying for many years. And something happened. She was finally able to let go; of limiting beliefs, of narratives that no longer served her, and of the anxious tension her body had been holding for so long. The inner transformation that took place for Sam in the Redwoods has fueled her desire to bring more people here, to experience this majestic stretch of land and its many lessons of resilience. Samantha is grateful for the gift of sharing this special place with others, and honored to host this offering on the ancestral lands of the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation. She and Wonder have designed this offering in respect to the wisdom of this ancient forest and its stewards. It has been a blessed journey, full of lessons and growth, and the type of alignment that eventually landed Samantha and Soma Wellness in Bend, Oregon-- where both have been thriving ever since! Through her business Soma Wellness, Samantha offers yoga, sound medicine, journaling workshops, retreat facilitation and personal chef services nationwide.

Angelica has been doing bodywork for 25 years. She is trained in many techniques and specializes in John Barnes Myofascial Release Therapy since 2007. Angelica moved to Bend, Oregon in the summer of 2021 to live the lifestyle she always wanted on the water and in the trees.

Retreat Creator & Redwoods Guide Wonder Woman Heart is a nature-based healer, sound meditation guide, and ceremonialist who bridges the realms of earth wisdom and heart-centered transformation. For two years, she served as an Interpretive Ranger for Redwood National and State Parks, where she shared the magic of the old-growth forest through storytelling, guided hikes, and sensory experiences that deepened visitor connection to the land. Following her time as a ranger, Wonder became the Experience Nature Project Coordinator with the Redwood Parks Conservancy. Over the next two years, she created and led inclusive programs designed to connect community members of all abilities with the redwoods. Her signature Wander with Wonder walks invited participants to slow down and connect deeply with the forest through mindful exploration, sound healing, and nature-based meditation. Wonder’s approach is intuitive, inclusive, and rooted in love. She honors the healing presence of the forest as teacher, mirror, and sanctuary and welcomes all who seek to remember their connection to nature, spirit, and self.
