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.
