Women's Emotional Freedom Beach Retreat in Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

The retreat is held at either a private beach house or an oceanfront hotel in Indian Harbour Beach, Florida. Each day follows a loose rhythm: sunrise yoga on the sand, a morning workshop or session led by Rose Monk (a brain therapist) or her team (including yoga instructor Alexandra Arellano), and then free time for lunch and relaxation. Afternoons might feature the Emotional Exchange Project—an art therapy session—or another group activity like a core alignment workshop. Evenings are for connection, whether that's a sound bath, a group circle, or a dinner out at a riverside restaurant with live music.

What makes this retreat stand out is its focus on the science behind your emotions. Rose blends psychology and neuroscience to help you understand why you react the way you do, decode which brain chemicals might be out of balance (like serotonin and dopamine), and give you concrete strategies to 'reset' your system. This isn't just about feeling good for a weekend; it's about leaving with practical tools you can use when you're back home dealing with a stressful job or a difficult family dinner.

The retreat also includes some fun extras that make the experience memorable: a dolphin tour, a comedy night, and a sound bath. The group stays intentionally small, which helps foster genuine connections. The hosts emphasize that you don't need any experience with yoga or art—everything is designed to be accessible. Whether you're dealing with grief, anxiety, burnout, or just feeling stuck, the retreat is meant to give you a break from your usual patterns and a fresh perspective.
