Kimmy and Halli - Our Story
We are dear friends who met auspiciously at retreat center in the countryside outside of Baltimore, Maryland.
Almost immediately, we started talking about yoga, trauma, and healing. And we knew we were friends for life.
We are both called to healing work for women. Our friendship developed out of a shared mission to heal ourselves by connecting with our own bodies, tuning into our natural world, and sharing that with others.
While each of our teaching practices are different, we are bonded by an intentional focus on supporting women through soul-centered work.

Why we’re hosting in
El Salvador:
Over the past couple of years, Kimmy has made the journey back ‘home’ to her family’s land of origin in El Salvador where thousands have been displaced over the past few centures. The country has now entered a new era, one of building stability, seeking peace, and healing its people.
When Kimmy shared with Halli all about the tremendous growth and revival that was taking place, not only within her family, but through the land, we knew this would be the perfect environment to inspire resilience, courage and possibility.
It is an honor to come together on a land that holds such tremendous healing power.
With our partners on the ground, we are furthering a reality of sustainable growth for local families and businesses as well as co-creating a sacred space for women. As the land heals, we too heal - as we heal, the land and others can heal - we operate from the heart in this reciprocal relationship as we are consciously choosing to contribute to this cycle.
Our retreat is a space for you to contemplate your journey and celebrate the power of healing - within yourselves, within others and our earth.
From our heart to yours,
Kimmy & Halli
