Grounded - Outdoor Retreats
Grounded - Outdoor Retreats is more than just a getaway, it’s a space for you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with nature, yourself and a like-minded community. Rooted in relaxation, intention, and community, our retreats are designed to help you slow down, move with purpose, and create meaningful connections in beautiful, natural settings.
Through yoga, meditation, creative expression, and shared experiences, we offer a sanctuary where you can release stress, rediscover your inner wisdom, and rise into your most grounded, authentic self. Because when humans come together with open hearts and deep intention, healing happens, growth unfolds, and magic is made. ✨💛
“I was filled to the brim with love, connection and gratitude. On the way home, I found myself reaching out to connect more with strangers, and offering small acts of kindness at random opportunities. The experience at this Grounded Retreat ignited a genuine desire within me to embody the change I wish to see in the world.”
“If you are considering attending a Grounded Outdoor Retreat, I will save you the burden of indecision - book it now! The Fall 2025 Grounded Outdoor Retreat was my first-ever retreat and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alauna and the other hosts curated a supportive, inclusive environment where women of all ages and backgrounds came together for a weekend of healing, connection, and womanhood. We laughed together, held each other while we cried, shared in lots of hugs, and created beautiful memories. I would recommend Grounded Retreats to any female-identifying friend I know and hope that everyone gets to the experience the magic of these retreats at least once in their lives. Thank you Alauna, Emily, and Hayley for an unforgettable first-retreat experience! I can't wait to attend the next one!”
"Divine feminine in action! Prepare yourself for pure peace, LOVE, and connection."
"I had the opportunity to meet some incredible women, and spent 5 days learning to accept what is and how to release what no longer serves me. This was such an incredible experience for me. In addition to yoga, I was able to make some self discoveries and set goals for the future. I am so thankful for this experience, and the group that I was able to share and learn from."
“If you’re nervous at all, let this be the retreat to ease you into it! You won’t have any regrets!”
“Absolutely life changing! What a beautiful experience to have with so many amazing women in such an intentional space!”
“Alauna and her crew truly crafted a life altering experience. You could feel and see the effort, work and thought that was poured into the retreat. From the beginning Alauna said that hard things out loud and made sure everyone felt seen and special. I am already looking forward to the next retreat and the chance to dive even deeper into myself in the presence of other powerful women. 🫶🏼”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience! This was my first retreat, and time camping solo. The property was gorgeous and accommodating, Alauna and the hosts were so sweet and helpful and the women I met were all so special and wonderful. We all had such a great time, connected easily and had plenty of space in between workshops to have our time or connect and hangout more. The dinners were so yummy, the workshops were fun and healing. The yoga was very accessible for all levels, and the sound healing was beautiful. Thank you so much for hosting us :)”
“If you're looking to learn more about yourself, connect with community, or simply do something a bit out of your comfort zone, I would highly recommend Grounded Retreats. Despite coming into a group of 30 strangers, I found myself feeling completely at home the moment we all met. Alauna is an amazing leader and overall presence, as they're great at making you feel heard and seen. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Grounded Retreats enough.”
Retreat Testimonials
Alauna Roby
Howdy, I'm Alauna, certified yoga instructor and the founder of Grounded Retreats!
As a full time nomad for 3 years I understand how lonely life on the road can get at times. I wanted to create a community of like-minded people by hosting outdoor yoga retreats! My intention with these events is to bring my online community offline, to create deep meaningful connections through somatic yoga practices, nature-based meditations, breathwork sessions, arts & crafts and intention circles. Helping you feel grounded and relaxed, one retreat at a time!
Emily Dresser
Hi, I’m Emily, an adventure-loving soul based in Bend, Oregon, with a passion for helping people connect to nature, themselves, and each other. I created Do Yoga Outside to blend my love of the outdoors with movement, creativity, and community. Whether I’m leading a yoga session on a mountain, guiding a bachelorette hike through stunning landscapes, or hosting an art-in-nature retreat, my goal is to create experiences that leave you feeling grounded, inspired, and more alive than ever.
Emily Sedona
Hi cuties! I'm Emily Sedona, a full time vanlifer, sound healer, and magic curator.
As an anxious girly, I see the importance of nervous system regulation through sound. I am here to help lead your mind from chaotic to calm with various singing bowls, drums, and rattles. These instruments not only promote relaxation, but also aid in deepening our meditation and yoga practices. Bringing the healing power of sound offline and into the real world has been such a dream of mine, and I am so excited to connect with you IRL!
Hayley Salyers
When you come to a class with Hayley, expect to slow down and feel held—by your breath, your body, and the natural world around you. You don’t need to show up with anything polished or perfect. Just bring yourself, however you are.
Hayley’s classes are rooted in gentleness and presence. Movement is accessible and invitational, guided by breath and a deep sense of care.
Expect time for stillness. Expect to hear the birds, feel the sun, and breathe in something that reminds you you’re alive. Expect space to notice what’s happening inside you, and permission to just be with it.
