Most people are barely getting by. They’re sick, stressed, or just stuck—fighting to survive in a system that profits from their disconnection. But life wasn’t meant to be like this.
At From Survive to Thrive, we believe healing begins with food, simplicity, and space to remember who we are. This is a retreat for those ready to let go of noise and return to nature—to rest, eat, breathe, and begin again.
The Meaning Behind the Name
“Survival” is where many of us live—barely making it, always tired, always chasing. But thriving is our natural state. When we remove what drains us, and return to real food, rhythm, and rest, life becomes easy again. Not because everything changes—but because we change.
This space is here to make that transformation possible.
Our Symbol: The Honu (Sea Turtle)
The Hawaiian sea turtle represents wisdom, protection, and longevity—moving slowly, grounded in the ocean’s rhythm. Our retreat paths are shaped like a turtle from above to remind us that healing isn’t rushed.
Like the honu, we carry what we need inside us. This retreat helps people see that again.
Our Philosophy
Food is medicine when it’s whole, organic, and grown with care Silence is powerful when shared Healing should be free and available to all Simplicity is enough Nature is the teacher—we just listen
From the Founder
I created this retreat after years of watching people struggle unnecessarily. I’ve seen firsthand how the right food, the right space, and a return to inner awareness can reverse suffering. This land, this food, this rhythm—it changed my life. Now it’s here to change yours.
We don’t need more things. We need more truth. This is a place where truth has space to grow.
