Group Experience

Water, held together.

I lead group water ceremonies for conferences, retreats, and boutique hotels around the world — a shared moment in the water that people carry with them long after.

The Offering

Something a group actually feels.

Not another sound bath. Not another yoga class. A held experience in water that shifts a whole room in an afternoon — and becomes the thing they still bring up months later.

Selected engagements

Ceremonies held for —

GoldenEye in Jamaica
Shou Sugi Ban House
Summit Series Palm Springs
Summit at Sea
Virgin Voyages
Wild Nomads Festival
Holistica Tulum
Desert oasis water ceremony under palm trees
Cruise decks, hotel pools, desert springs

Wherever there's water, we can build the container.

Built for the room

Private pools, open ocean, desert springs — I shape the ceremony to the space.

Where it lives
01

Conferences & Summits

Something real inside a packed schedule. People leave softer, more connected, and actually present — the part of the day they end up talking about on the flight home.

02

Retreat Holders

I come in as a guest facilitator and hold a water session inside your container — usually the moment the group finally drops in.

03

Hotels & Resorts

A wellness offering guests remember and come back for. Woven into your programming, held with the same care as a private session.

04

Corporate & Private

Leadership offsites, milestone weekends, private gatherings in the Hamptons or abroad. Same intention, tailored to the group.

For Retreat Holders

A guest teacher for the deeper day.

I come in as a guest facilitator inside your retreat — usually the day the group finally stops talking about the work and starts feeling it. Good for landing people into their bodies, moving a stuck moment, or closing a container with something they'll remember.

For Hotels & Brands

Something only you offer.

I've built water ceremonies for hotels, resorts, festivals, and cruise lines all over — anywhere from a one-night event to a month-long residency. A few of the places I've worked with:

  • Boutique hotels in Costa Rica, Tulum, Jamaica, and Miami
  • Festivals and conferences
  • Private estates in the Hamptons and Montauk
