light your life
The time is now. To light your life. Step into the fullest version of yourself as we embark into a week of transformation, connection, relaxation and exploration. Join our tribe of seekers on a mission to elevate ourselves and the world.
We are all a brilliant source of light, tenderness, and love. And at different times, we all need support to brighten that light or even bring it back to life. This 11th annual iLa retreat is just that. A week of practicing and supporting what is light-giving to each of us; living from the center of ourselves in this magical place of sunshine, waves, and pure living.
