YOUR RETREAT HOSTS
Jenn
I started working at a UCLAs practicum site for early childhood education over 10 years ago. I remember one little girl ripped a toy out of a boy’s hand and the kid’s reaction was hitting which led to crying and a meltdown. The teachers immediately modeled to the kids how to navigate this instilling skills to help the children respond differently in the future. They were able to help them share how they both felt, and came up with a win-win solution. I remember this spark lit inside me… imagine how different the world could be if we were all given this gift of emotional intelligence and healthy communication as early as pre-school!?
Flash forward, after 10 years working in education, I am now wildly passionate about
Jenn
serving children and moms. I offer classes, retreats, and books for children and moms. My latest book, My Big Heart offers a simple and easy way to start a mindfulness practice at home with your kids, just by reading the story.
I offer spaces where kids are encouraged to be authentic, empowered and confident in who they are. Spaces that support deepening of relationships with family members and friends. Working with kids has truly always been a soul gift, passion, and calling for me (I always would choose any job I could with kids and it never felt like work).
“Jenn has the energy of a 20 year old and the wisdom of a 40 year old.” – Compliment from a 9 year old.
Kari
Kari
With a profound connection to spiritual realms, I channel light language and work intimately with the elements, embodying the essence of a Goddess of sensuality, play, and freedom. I thrive in collaboration with fellow way showers to manifest opportunities for integrating spiritual and psychological teachings into everyday life, ultimately bringing about a state of “Heaven on Earth.”
I derive immense joy from utilizing diverse tools and modalities to craft an extraordinary existence. My passion extends to embracing everyday human
experiences, particularly in the realm of family life. As a devoted mother to my 10-year-old son, who is a soccer and sports enthusiast, I view him not only as a creator of his reality but also as a cherished personal guide.Hi I am Kari, I am recognized as a healer, thought leader, ceremonialist, and visionary in the field of psychology. Specializing in somatic experiencing, soul journey breathwork, energy medicine, and various evidence-based and holistic healing modalities, I am dedicated to pioneering new paradigms in healing and consciousness.
In my mission to redefine parenting paradigms, I am deeply committed to co-creating with my child to manifest our shared vision of a “Happily Ever After.” Through both my professional work and personal journey, I aim to inspire others to embrace the transformative power of holistic living and conscious parenting.

Christine Moonbeam
a Bachelor of Arts in Dance from the University of Iowa.
Christine was first introduced to partner acrobatics in 2010 while working with a youth social circus for underserved youth in Washington D.C. called Zip Zap Circus USA. It was here that her passion for circus started to take flight! She has been studying partner acrobatics and handstand balancing ever since with circus, sports acro, and handstand coaches in the US and Europe.
Christine has spent the last 7 years developing acro and handstand pedagogy, educating acro teachers and community builders, facilitating various acro trainings, events and festivals, plus traveling and teaching around the US, Europe, Asia, and Mexico.
