In the Japanese language, there exists a word of profound beauty: komorebi—the interplay of light and shadow as sunlight filters through forest canopy. It speaks to those fleeting moments when nature reveals something deeper, something that stirs the soul.

We understand what it means to crave depth in a world that skims the surface. We also know that transformation doesn’t have to be so serious all the time.

At Komorebi Retreats, we create experiences where you can sweat, laugh, push your limits, and surprise yourself—all while reconnecting with the parts of you that have been waiting to come out and play. We work with the rhythms of the seasons and cycles of the moon, but mostly we work with the understanding that growth happens when you’re having too much fun to overthink it.

Think: hiking trails that make your legs burn and your heart soar. Yoga that challenges your body and quiets your mind. Conversations around the fire that go deep. Dance parties under the stars. The kind of experiences where adventure and stillness take turns, where you move beyond your comfort zone and discover what’s been waiting on the other side of fear—and maybe do a cannonball into a cold creek while you’re at it.

We honor both light and shadow, rest and intensity, the profound and the ridiculous. Transformation happens when you have space to breathe deeply, permission to play freely, and the courage to show up fully—because that’s where you find out who you really are.
