THE SALTY RETREAT
A vacation for women
ABOUT
The Salty Retreat was designed for women to experience authentic joy and connect IRL (in real life). We'll laugh, we'll play, we'll hike, we'll sing, we'll share, we'll meditate, we'll nourish ourselves, we'll relax....we'll connect. This is an alcohol-free retreat and all about holistic healing: mind, body, soul and...laughing our heads off. We do that with nourishing food, moving our bodies in nature, practicing meditation, hanging in the sun by the pool, unwinding with music, a supportive and loving environment, and & connecting with our people. The only requirements are that you are open-minded, you're older than 21 and you have a vagina (or identify as a woman). Just show up and we promise you'll have a good time. No haters allowed. You deserve this....you deserve to connect with like-minded beautiful women and have fun. We're in this together. Join us in the desert.

BIOS
Jill Hundenski | The Salty Retreat Founder & Soberista
Jill woke up one day and discovered she doesn't have to drink to have fun! A 30-day experiment has become her new best kept secret. It's like a little golden nugget that no one told her - you can have an even better life without alcohol! What started out as "sober curiosity" became her new way of life. And, healthier too! She does not consider herself an alcoholic, but rather a girl that chose another way. This retreat is for like-minded women that want to connect in real life and experience pure joy and bliss without booze or their vice of choice. Jill had replaced some of her past destructive behaviours with some new healthy ones: travel, hiking, working out and pulling pranks. She loves dogs, health and wellness, luxury travel, design and tic-tacs.
Chelsey Charbeneau | Yoga and Meditation Teacher
Chelsey found her life's purpose in helping people become happier and healthier through her own healing journey. She is by no means your typical yoga/meditation teacher. At the start of her practice she could barely touch her toes and was living a high stress lifestyle, working on the management team for a financial investment firm in Los Angeles. As her practice became more serious and her lifestyle habits changed, she started experiencing the therapeutic effects on her mind, body and spirit.
Kevin Paris | Singer, Songwriter, Hug Dealer & The Yoga Musician
Based in LA after living in Brazil, South Africa and all over the us, Paris' feel-good music has grown into an “off the beaten path” fusion of folk-reggae-acoustic-electronic influences. In addition to the traditional music scene, Paris is the go-to singer-songwriter paving the way for artists in the vibrant intersection of Yoga & Live Music. Since completing his yoga-teacher training he has played for over one thousand yoga classes alongside renowned teachers and fellow musicians at worldwide venues and festivals like Wanderlust, Yoga Journal Live, Hanuman Festival, Gaia and Yogaglo.
