Step back. Recalibrate. Move forward with clarity.

From overload to clarity, in five days.

The 5 Day Sedona Neurogenesis Retreat is built for individuals who operate at a high level and are ready to step out of constant output to reset how they think, feel, and respond.

Held within Sedona’s red rock landscape, this experience is designed to regulate the nervous system, reduce internal noise, and restore a clear baseline for decision-making and daily life.

Through structured days combining movement, breathwork, guided sessions, and time in nature, the retreat supports pattern change, mental clarity, and a more stable, responsive state.

The environment, the rhythm, and the practices work together to create space for recalibration, so you return with a clearer mind, a steadier system, and a more intentional way of moving forward.

I had the incredible chance to join a retreat led by David in the heart of the Colombian Amazon – and it’s hard to put into words how much this experience meant to me. David doesn’t just guide the retreat, he is the space: safe, sacred and full of love.His soul is pure light and joy. He’s like the sun warm, present and always shining. There’s so much wisdom in him and he shares it in such a kind and open hearted way. With David I felt truly seen, heard and accepted just as I am. As a yoga teacher he’s completely in his flow – calm, clear and deeply supportive. He also has a real gift for capturing special moments with his camera. The way he does it is something else! This wasn’t just a retreat. It felt like coming home, to myself, to love and to what really matters. I’m deeply grateful. Thank you, David, from all my heart. Highly recommended!

My experience with David’s retreat in Bali was truly transformative. His incredible skill in spiritual work and inner healing created a safe and inspiring space for deep personal growth. The yoga practices he led were beautifully balanced — both grounding and uplifting — and perfectly complemented the emotional and spiritual journey of the retreat. Everything was thoughtfully organized, from the schedule to the setting, making the entire experience flow with ease and intention. I can’t recommend David enough and truly hope to join more of his retreats in the future.

I went to the Amazon Jungle in Colombia with David. He was very attentive. He made sure that the group was having a good time. He took time to translate information from the Shaman/Taita. He also adjusted the yoga sessions to the level of the group. The location he chose for this retreat was beautiful and the food was great!

The retreat was a wonderful experience for me. It was a spontaneous decision to join and it was worth it. Everything, starting from yoga deck with a magnificent view, magical yoga classes, delicious vegan food and extra attractions in our agenda such as hiking of e-bikes, was amazing.. On top of that positive energy and engagement of our yoga instructor was making it a special and unique experience. Best gift I could give to myself. Definitely to be repeated! Thank you. Namaste

Yoga instruction was incredible and catered to all levels. We were provided delicious healthy meals daily. Our mindfulness and nutrition instructionals were spot on. David and his team put a lot of thought and planning into our retreat. From the beautiful beaches with surfing instructionals, to cultural immersion experiences with Balinese priests and visits to the Uluwatu Temple, David and Frankie left no stone unturned. If the experiences weren't enough, the friendships we formed were priceless. I was apprehensive to book an expensive retreat halfway around the world with people I'd never met, but rest assured, you'll be happy you did. David and Francesca's retreats come highly recommended and we'll be joining them again in the future.

Everything about this experience was spectacular- from the people, the activities, the location, facilities, and the love energy within everyone i met there. I am forever changed by this experience and the people and memories we made here with the internal spiritual healing and connection within ourselves healed us all as a community. I can't even begin to describe how much gratitude I have for this experience and who it has made me. I have so much love and appreciation for whatever guided me to this retreat. David and Frankie are beautiful souls with good intentions and I thank them for providing the space and intention for so much healing and clarity that has the potential to heal the world.

The whole retreat was incredible and I’m still feeling the effects of it today! It’s been about 2 weeks and I feel completely transformed by the experience. The group I was with were absolutely amazing! The food was incredible and super healthy. The space they created for us left us all feeling vulnerable and energized. I especially loved our dance party that was just a beautiful experience with the sunset. The “guardians” that participated on the trip also taught me so much, with life coaching, tarot readings, etc. Overall I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my NYE anywhere else - I feel energized and recharged to make difficult changes this year!

The Rewild retreat I attended in Desert Palm Springs was wholistic, well planned, and so personal. Frankie and David led us through 5 days of physical reconnection with ourselves, education on ways to care for our health through what we consume, grounding our minds and bodies in gratitude for the earth and our connection to it. The phone call before, the personal connection throughout, and the continued offerings and relationships after make this program really customized to the individual while prioritizing feeling supported by each other. It’s a real community! The food was absolutely delicious and the setting in Sky Valley was gorgeous, and their desire to have us connect with plant medicine respectfully and ecstatically was admirable. I appreciated David and Frankie’s genuine love and care for their participants. Definitely give it a go
