The RISE UP Retreat with Marlo is a deep dive into the practice of embodiment through somatic-informed movement classes and breathwork sessions. This retreat provides an opportunity for you reconnect with nature while awakening your true spirit.

 Enjoy daily RISE UP somatic-informed movement classes, breathwork, journaling, and access to all Ranch amenities, including kayaks and fishing poles. Indulge in all organic Farm-to-Table meals made with fresh, healthy, and locally sourced ingredients, and rest easy knowing we can accommodate your special dietary needs. Let us take care of you as you immerse yourself in a world of wellness, wonder, and adventure.

​All activities are optional. We want you to have a great time and are happy to offer variety. However, it's completely up to you whether you participate or not. Create your own schedule to make the most of your experience.


Meet Your Host, MARLO BRAUSSE

For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about helping people make changes to their lives. As a young child I could often sense when people around me were struggling and had difficulty understanding what to do with that energy. v

Marlo’s Approach

My approach to sharing Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP) and SPIRITUS Breathwork is simple.

Together, we use movement, breathwork, mindfulness, and meditation to develop a felt sense in the body. It is incredible how these modalities open a gateway for healing when paired with music, spirituality, and ceremony.

 By creating space from our busy minds, we can witness our truth and uncover the stories that limit growth, acceptance, and love.
