Listen Later

In this episode #93, we explore what it truly takes to design, host, and lead a retreat that changes people from the inside out. Sabrina shares the heart and history behind Camp Be Here Now, the wisdom she’s gained as a retreat creator, and the magic that keeps her coming back year after year.

We open the conversation by exploring Sabrina’s personal definition of a retreat: what it represents, why it matters, and how stepping away from daily life can create space for deep healing and connection.

Sabrina takes us back to the moment the idea formed.

  • When did Camp Be Here Now begin?

  • What inspired her to create it?

  • How did she bring her vision to life?

  • And did the retreat unfold the way she imagined—or did it evolve into something even more powerful?

We dive into the art and heart of retreat design:

  • The key elements that make a retreat meaningful, safe, and memorable

  • How to cultivate community among strangers

  • The balance between structure and spaciousness so participants can grow without feeling rushed

Sabrina shares the real behind-the-scenes:

  • The most significant challenges she’s faced as a retreat host

  • What she wishes she knew before her first retreat

  • How each challenge shaped her approach moving forward

No retreat is complete without the magic. Sabrina reflects on her favorite moments—the ones that remind her exactly why this work is worth it.

Whether you're a fitness professional, wellness coach, or someone dreaming of hosting your first retreat, Sabrina offers grounded, heartfelt guidance on how to begin.
