A word from your host

Stevey Arena, Co-host and Custodian
“There’s something magical about this place – the ocean, the horses, the stories in the soil. Hosting this retreat is a way to share the joy, the connection, and the legacy my father began. We laugh, we learn, and we leave a little lighter. It’s wellness, but with boots on and the sea breeze in your hair.”
