Take workshops with wellness star Candice Kumai

Candice Kumai is a classically trained chef, Top Chef alum, and author of five best-selling books with a sixth on the way in April. Her most meaningful and personal publication yet, Kintsugi Wellness, The Japanese Art of Nourishing Mind, Body, and Spirit explains Japanese wellness traditions—and how to use your own heritage for wellness.

You’ll be the first to receive a copy of Kintsugi Wellness as well as experience exclusive workshops from the book with Candice. You’ll learn practices and insights for personal growth and exploration, nutrition-based intel such as The Ultimate Matcha Explainer workshop, how to add anti-inflammatory and fermented foods into your daily meals, plus her recipe for glowing skin.

Get sweaty with super-buzzy fitness instructor Charlee Atkins

Charlee Atkins created the Le Sweat and Le Stretch workout methods, which have a huge fan-following in New York City, where she is also a Master SoulCycle instructor.

On this Retreat, you’ll experience serious toning action with Atkins' Le Sweat body-sculpting mat workout—then a super healthy dose of recovery work with her signature myofascial release Le Stretch method, considered the first class in NYC entirely devoted to stretching. The combination of Atkins' two workouts over the day will challenge you—and support you. Plus her fun teaching style and great playlists make it an inspiring way to sweat.
