Hello! We're so glad you're here.

Welcome to BLUM- a multi day retreat

for women by women to move, feel, create,

release, and reimagine together.

This immersive experience is a collective exploration of

the mind - a place of clarity and ease

the body - a place of physical curiosity and flow &

the community - a place of connection and creativity.

Our Story

Breathe, Listen, Uncover, Move

Join us in beautiful Naples, FL where the pristine beaches, laid back vibes, and local creativity allow for an ideal location for this women’s retreat. Over the course of three and a half days you will gain a new perspective on how you see and engage with yourself, your beloveds, and the world around you. We have invited an incredible roster of guides to help you BLUM, including: On a Roll Film Lab, who will host a non-digital, eye opening, film walk through the streets of Naples (cameras included), Carolina Garcia, who will help nurture our creative intuition via the art medium of Watercolors (all materials provided), and Grandmaster Katherine Wieczerza, affectionately known as The Wiz, who will show us a way to move through a martial arts practice, reimagining our sense of resiliency and strength (plus, a surprise!)

Michelle Menendez & Loren Davidson will also provide a daily movement practice that will combine Pilates, Gyrokinesis, Braindance, Relaxation and Stretch, and a bit of good ol’ fashioned groove. 

  • Martial Arts to awaken power

  • Watercolors to unlock creative flow

  • Pilates & somatic based movement modalities to reconnect with

​          strength and sensation

  • Film Walk to reimagine perspective 

  • Community Celebration to reconnect with joy & play

  • And, a few more surprise offerings!

Our intention behind building this retreat came from our admiration and respect for all of the amazing women in our lives. We are continuously in awe of all women who have supported and received support from other women, seeing and feeling first hand how these relationships shape so many.  We also have a DEEP passion for fostering connections, storytelling, creating a sense of belonging and sharing our love of the arts and movement in all forms. And, voilà! The perfect container for all of these things to exist together was born! The BLUM retreat. 

We are so excited you found us.
