the Innerbloom experience
the journey home
At Innerbloom, we do not believe in withstanding. This is not a retreat where you’re left to “tough it out” in isolation.
This is the e x h a l e.
This is the r e l e a s e.
This is the soft landing your body has been aching for.
Other dark retreats may pride themselves on stoicism & separation. Yet, we pride ourselves on presence, care & deep personalization. Innerbloom is an act of devotion to yourself, to your nervous system, to your becoming.
before the dark
The journey begins with a Connection Call with your host, Anna. This isn’t a transactional intake. It’s a co-creative space to explore your intentions, food preferences, menstrual cycle & sensory details that matter (think your favorite flower, essential oils you love, childhood snacks that bring comfort to your inner child).
Nothing is too small to matter. This is your sacred time. It should feel like it.
If we feel energetically aligned after your Connection Call, your next step is a Source Code™ Session with Camille. This is a powerful, supportive deep-dive into why you are here and what might come up for you re: your core wounding & coping strategies. Together, you'll uncover the subtle ways you relate to the world & to yourself - therefore, the darkness - so that your retreat is informed, grounded & lovingly attuned. You can discuss your intentions and what practices could maximize it during the dark. Camille may offer practices to begin anchoring before your stay & will inform Anna so your experience can be tailored with even greater care & awareness.
Your pre-darkness session with Camille is included in your Innerbloom stay. To explore her post-darkness offerings, including having an integration session on-site after emerging - click here!
the Bloom package
Upon arrival (Saturday by 3pm), you’ll be welcomed into the our sanctuary & given time to ground. After a tour of the space & selecting your emersion spot, you'll settle into your room designed for stillness & safety. You’ll eventually surrender your phone as this experience is a digital detox (while you are in the dark) allowing your nervous system time to rebalance. If you’d like to have a person of significance to receive updates from Anna while you’re in your retreat that can be arranged.
Your opening evening flows gently:
A somatic breathwork session to land in your body
An intention-setting cacao ceremony to open the heart
A nourishing dinner tailored just for you
When you feel ready, you’ll blow out your candle & your journey will begin.
inside the dark
From Saturday night through Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning (your choice) you’ll be in total darkness. But you won’t be alone.
Each guest is given a walkie-talkie, a direct line to contact Anna at any moment during your stay. Whether you need:
A room temperature shift
Another nourishing snack or meal
A grounding check-in or simply a reminder that you’re held. You’ll receive it.
This isn’t about suffering.
It’s about surrender.
And surrender doesn’t have to hurt.
Customized meals will be served twice a day, based entirely on your preferences. Whether that’s comforting, nostalgic or protein-rich, your body leads. And yes, if you want meat, you can have it! This retreat isn’t a place where restriction or default veggie platters are the norm.
Throughout your retreat, you may discover small sensory gifts like a favorite scent, a soft texture, a flavor that feels like home. These are not luxuries; they are intentional acts of care. By choosing Innerbloom, you’re choosing to be seen & heard. You are not here to be deprived. You are here to remember you are worthy of receiving.
unmasking
You’ll choose one of the below times for your emergence:
Sunset on Tuesday
Sunrise on Wednesday
From that moment forward, your final days are for anchoring back into the light. These are days of gentle reawakening like journaling, moving your body, meditating, going in & out of the light, walking the trails through our eight private acres of forest. At this point, you will also receive your phone which we encourage to use sparingly. You’ll also have a complimentary Somatic Breathwork session. You are not rushed here back into the world.
This is your integration space a time to let the insights settle, the nervous system breathe & your body feel its way forward.
Departure is Friday by 10am, but your inner unfolding will ripple far beyond that. With your consent, you’ll be added into our private social groups to meet other retreaters, share your integration story, receive support & more.
