  • Brittany Hatcher is a dedicated Breathwork Facilitator, Reiki Master, and Life Coach. The foundations of her work are rooted in the practices of Spiritual Psychology. With a heartfelt commitment to healing and personal liberation and transformation, her firsthand experience with her son, a pediatric cancer survivor, has informed her of how meaningful it is to have support navigating stressful and traumatic life events. Her approach integrates mindfulness techniques, various somatic practices, energy healing, and the profound insights of spiritual psychology to support people in their journey towards their mental and emotional well-being.

  • Several years ago, Ethan’s 130-pound weight loss journey transformed his life priorities, causing him to dissolve a successful business he owned, transition from LA to Petaluma, and pursue a path of helping others unlock the abundant-but-dormant versions of themselves.

    His Integrative Health Coaching background has been centered on the connection but our internal emotional worlds and their physical manifestations. Sometimes this dives into our relationship with food, fitness, alcohol, and stress, and sometimes it’s around areas like our identity, view of self, workaholism, and chronic pursuit of achievement.

    He is the host of The True Health Podcast, with listeners in 40+ countries, and a trusted facilitator, retreat leader and group workshop host.

  • Setting on eight acres of peaceful land, the quiet surroundings and beautiful facilities at Open Sky make for an ideal place for this retreat. A calm, minimal meditation room will host most of our day, alongside the gardens and serene grounds for contemplation, connection, healthy food, and community.
