Ever wondered what actually happens at a transformational retreat? In this episode, Ariel and Bobbie take you inside the WONDER New Year Visioning Retreat—day by day, practice by practice.

Happening January 11-15, 2026 in Joshua Tree, WONDER is a five-day journey designed to help you release 2025, vision your most extraordinary 2026, and create an actual plan to make it real.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What happens from the moment you land at Palm Springs Airport to your final morning yoga practice
• The specific practices we use each day (somatic work, EFT tapping, guided meditation, movement, journaling)
• Why the order matters—why you can't vision clearly until you release, and why you can't take action until you've done the visioning
• What it's like to be held in luxury while doing deep transformational work
• Why this isn't just inspiration—you leave with a concrete season-by-season plan for your year

Whether you're considering joining us or you're just curious about how transformational retreats actually work, this episode gives you the complete picture.

A few spots remain for WONDER. Learn all about the WONDER RETREAT here.

• The undeniable link between dance and personal freedom
• What it means to "throw dicks" as a break-dancer

Four months ago, my husband Matt and I left Los Angeles for the high desert near Joshua Tree, and it has fundamentally changed everything about how I feel in my body and in my life. 

In this episode, I'm sharing the most profound shifts that have come from this move—from the magic of seeing constellations every single night, to finding my people in this creative, grown-up, art-loving community, to feeling my animal nature again with bare feet on the earth surrounded by Joshua trees, coyotes, and bunnies. 

I'm also opening up about simplifying my business to focus purely on embodied fitness and retreats, how my marriage feels more alive and playful than ever, and why sometimes the answer really is just to leave. 

If you've ever wondered whether a big change could unlock something deeper in you, this one's for you.
