Explore the Magic Created

On our last Waking Dream Retreat we explored creative expression with art and writing in the serenity of the Caribbean for a transformative 3-day mini-retreat on the tranquil Water Island, Virgin Islands. This retreat was designed for deep immersion, relaxation, healing, and personal growth.

Where we stayed:

The Four Elements Culinary Arts & Retreat Center is nestled in the rejuvenating energy of Water Island with private shared accommodations surrounded by nature and wildlife.

Water Island

This intimate retreat provided a safe and peaceful space for transformative work, combining the power of sacred medicine, restorative yoga, and deep meditation. Whether guests were new to ceremony or seasoned practitioners, the experience offered a powerful space for rest, rejuvenation, and growth.

​

At Four Elements Virgin Islands, the retreat center was designed to harmonize with nature, offering an intimate and rejuvenating experience. Set in a secluded location, the center embraced sustainable practices, using natural and upcycled materials such as driftwood and glass bottles. Vibrant art pieces, crafted by both the team and previous guests, added a personal touch to the space. Accommodations included five cozy cottages nestled within lush tropical foliage, comfortably housing up to 22 guests. For those seeking a more immersive experience, tent camping was available, with pre-set bell tents offered for convenience. Outdoor showers and shared bathrooms maintained a close connection with the environment, enhancing the rustic charm.

The center featured a range of thoughtfully designed amenities, including a yoga deck with sweeping ocean views, a communal dining area, an open-air kitchen, and multiple spaces for workshops and group gatherings.
