Wellness Retreat 2022
Living a Heart-Centered Life
Abiquiu, New Mexico
August 25 - 28
Heart-centeredness is a state of peace in which life is aligned. It is when the choices we make line up with our values and our deepest desires...Being heart-centered means that you are aware of what you desire in life. You know your values. You know how to take responsibility for yourself and your emotions.
“Live your passion through your heart center. Be present and centered in it. When you express and do the things you love, and the right people will find you. When we do what we love doing, the rest of the world that loves what it’s doing finds us. ”
Does this resonate?
How often do you…
…feel out of touch with yourself?
…feel stuck, personally and professionally?
…go through the daily motions of life uninspired and without a sense of purpose?
…feel an undeniable longing to make a pivot in your life, but don’t know where to start?
…push past your limits beyond your ability to give?
…feel disconnected from the life you are living and the life you want?
Are you ready to…
…unplug, be fully present and nurture your mind, body & spirit?
…identify the thoughts that sabotage your relationships, including the relationship with yourself?
…tap into your heart and follow a new path of self-discovery and growth?
…recognize your power, your luminosity, divine potential?
…engage in adventure and connection with a tribe of like-minded sisters?
…walk through the world with greater ease and peace of mind?
Evolve’s Wellness Retreat 2022 is all about you. Your heart. Your one best life.

Abiquiu Lake
A beautiful, 4,000 acre lake on the Chama River with a scenic high-walled canyon backdrop situated between the Sangre de Cristo and San Juan Mountain ranges of northern New Mexico.

Georgia O’Keefe Home & Studio
The 5,000 sq ft compound consisting of home and studio reflect a blend of Spanish Colonial and Native American Styles. On the inside, it reflects Ms. O’Keefe’s distinctly modern style, a combination of abundant natural light and midcentury modern furniture, revealing her commitment to design. Sited in Abiquiu, her home served as a quiet sanctuary for O’Keefe to draw and paint from 1949 until 1984, trailblazing the art world, until her passing in Santa Fe in 1986 at the age of 98. The O’Keefe Home & Studio is a designated National Historic Landmark.

Ghost Ranch
A 21,000-acre retreat center resting on a landscape of towering rock walls, vast skies, and colorful mesas, all forever depicted in the art of one of the first renowned female painters, Georgia O’Keefe. We’ll take a leisurely hike to Chimney Rock and take in the spectacular views across the Piedra Lumbre basin. If hiking isn’t your jam, stroll to the labyrinth, a pattern of pathways that weave in a circle toward the center, offering a quiet and calming experience.

Plaza Blanca
Known as “The White Place”, Plaza Blanca rests in a vortex of white sand and dramatic rock monoliths, weathered by sun, sand and wind. It is often described as unworldly, a place to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect to yourself. The site, located on private property and accessible only by permission, has served as a backdrop for several Hollywood movies including Cowboys and Aliens starring Harrison Ford.

Rancho de Chimayo Restaurant
"Mrs. J" as she is known to her customers, friends, family, and staff is labeled a Culinary Treasure by the State of New Mexico. Born Florence Poulin in Hartford CT, she was one of six children. She made her way to New Mexico when she married Chimayó native Arturo Jaramillo. Together, in 1965, they began Rancho de Chimayó in the restored ancestral family home using recipes perfected over generations. Mrs. J became legendary for her original creations, warm hospitality, and integral role in bringing New Mexican Cuisine into the international spotlight. She was New Mexico Restaurateur of the Year in 1987.
