Retreats (Local & Global)

At Ascend Wellness, we offer transformative retreat experiences both locally and globally, designed to nourish the body, mind, and spirit. Our local retreats, often weekend immersions at our studio, provide a safe, sacred container for rest, reflection, and self-discovery. Globally, we host immersive journeys in breathtaking locations such as Costa Rica and beyond, blending adventure, nature, and intentional practice.

 

I’m Kendyl, founder of Ascend Wellness and Dazen Collective. Since 2019, I’ve been guiding over 50 retreats around the world, weaving my experience into every container we create. These retreats are for those ready to step fully into themselves — to release, restore, and expand.

Our team of seasoned professionals have deeply embodied their practices and chosen to walk the path, offering expertise in yoga, sound healing, breathwork, and holistic wellness. We also collaborate with amazing artists and facilitators such as DJ Taz Rashid, MC YOGI, DJ C Lioness, and many others, curating experiences that uplift, inspire, and transform.

 

Whether joining us locally or abroad, you can expect intentional programming, luxury accommodations, soulful connection, and transformative experiences designed to help you return home to your fullest self.
