The Of Two Minds retreat for women founders, co-hosted by Meredith Markworth Pollack’s Palma Colectiva and Roanne Adams’ State of Feeling, took place over four rainy days in the beautiful Paraiso retreat space in Montecito. We gathered in community, grounded in shared experience, and found strength in vulnerability as the weather invited us to slow down, get cozy, and return to ourselves.

Each morning began with Kundalini led by Abigail Lorick, who guided us through pranayama, breathwork, and movement to settle into our bodies. Meredith held cacao and sound bath ceremonies that helped the group soften, open, and reconnect with their heart centers, while Roanne’s State of Feeling workshops explored what it means to lead, create, and evolve in uncertain times. Nourishing meals from Chef Natalie of Path and Provisions supported us throughout the week, and a restorative visit to the Lavender Barn Spa at Mattei’s Tavern allowed the group to integrate even more deeply into the experience.
