Are you running on empty?

Between the cooking, the cleaning, the school runs, the appointments, and the mental load of managing a household—not to mention the extra layers of advocacy and care if you’re a parent of a child with additional needs—when was the last time you actually heard your own thoughts?

Welcome to ATAAHUA Art: Reconnect on the Ocean.

We created the RECONNECT ON THE OCEAN Retreat for parents, caregivers, and individuals of all genders who just need to exhale.
For 3 nights, you do not have to make a single decision. You don't have to cook, and you definitely don't have to wash the dishes. Step aboard our floating sanctuary to regulate your nervous system. While the kids are having the time of their lives at the onboard youth clubs or our dedicated kids' art workshops, you can finally enjoy uninterrupted rest, gentle movement, and a supportive community.

WHAT TO EXPECT
