IT’S TIME FOR A FALL

Re:TREAT

Step away from the noise and put down the stress. Let’s move, laugh, share, sip cacao, and root back into joy.

Evidence-based wildness for humans ready to rewire joy into their nervous systems.

Maybe you don’t need another diagnosis, label, or thing to fix.

Release.

Rewild.

You weren’t born to be tamed or caged. You’re here to be free.

Rejoice.

Joy is not passive; it’s a miracle muscle we consciously flex.

what awaits you…

A weekend spent tucked deep in the Ozarks, surrounded by towering fall trees, birdsong, and fresh river air.

Mornings begin with warm cacao and soft light filtering through the forest.

Days are spacious and time slows as you move, breathe, and gather by the fire. Cold river plunges awaken every cell, and laughter echoes through the woods.

Here, it’s safe to soften, to expand, to fully be.

meet your hosts

After attending transformational retreats across the globe, Chelsea and Alicia realized something was missing: a bridge between the all-in woo world and evidence-based practices that actually create lasting change.

They wanted to bring that magic home to Missouri - without the spiritual bypassing or the promise of quick fixes or overnight transformation.

Chelsea Petree
ICU Nurse turned Holistic Wellness Guide

Chelsea brings over a decade of medical expertise from the ICU to the sacred intersection of science and spirit. A Missouri native who's traveled the world on medical missions, she bridges clinical healing with the profound medicine found in somatic breathwork, sound therapy, yoga, plant ceremonies, and deep connection to the Ozark wilderness she calls home.

Alicia Burke-Aguero
Business Mindset Coach + EFT Practitioner

Alicia specializes in rewiring limiting beliefs and identity patterns that keep entrepreneurs stressed. Using EFT tapping and nervous system work, she helps you collapse the gap between who you are and how you show up in business, creating brands that pulse with more joy and aliveness rather than grinding productivity.

JOY: /joi/ {noun + verb}

The holy, feral medicine that unhooks us from the cult of fixing and plugs us back into the spiraling hearbeat of life.
