WHY WE CREATED THIS IMMERSION RETREAT
This retreat is an invitation from Carolina Bolivar and Erica Priscilla Sandoval—two passionate leaders in holistic healing, mental health, and social work—who have come together to create a transformative space where you can reconnect with yourself, align with your purpose, and build a business that serves both your well-being and your community.
We know firsthand the challenges of working in service-based professions—the demands, the lack of balance, and the struggle to integrate holistic well-being while building a sustainable career. That’s why we designed this immersion for social workers, mental health and holistic practitioners, who are ready to step into a new way of living—one that is sustainable, intentional, and deeply fulfilling.
