The Essence of Root, Rewild, Reset

Intuitive Self-Care

At Nueve Vida Retreats, we embrace a different way of being—one that moves beyond the linear and the goal-driven, inviting you instead into a space of deep listening, organic unfolding, and intuitive self-care. This retreat honors the wisdom of the feminine, the cyclical nature of life, and the quiet power of allowing things to emerge in their own time.

Here, you will find the spaciousness to breathe, to reconnect with your inner knowing, and to move in harmony with your body’s natural rhythms. Each moment holds the potential for transformation—not through force, but through gentle opening. This is a journey that honors the unique path of every woman, recognizing that true self-care is not a checklist, but a practice of deep attunement to what is needed in the present moment.

Root, Rewild, Reset is not a retreat of schedules and obligations. It is a living experience, one that breathes and shifts, much like the natural world that guides us. We gather not to chase an outcome, but to be fully present—to honor what arises, to support one another, and to trust in the unfolding. In this sacred space, you are invited to soften, to listen, and to simply be.

Artist and Healing Practitioner Statement

Brandy Michele Adams is a multidisciplinary artist, wellness guide, and visionary with over 30 years of professional experience spanning art, entertainment, technology, and holistic wellness. Her life’s work has been dedicated to empowering women to reconnect with their inner universe and innate wisdom. Through a unique fusion of yoga, pranayama, somatic movement, journaling, art, and the healing power of plants, Brandy facilitates self-discovery and healing, inviting others to remember who they are and align with their dharma—their true purpose.

Brandy’s journey began with a profound call: to build, grow, and imagine. This call led her to co-create spaces for creativity and connection, where individuals explore their inner landscapes and rediscover their radiant potential. Her practice is deeply rooted in the belief that “We Are All Stars,” each carrying the light and energy to create, transform, and thrive.

Artist Statement:

My work is a tapestry woven from decades of exploration in art, entertainment, technology, and holistic wellness. At its heart is the belief that each of us carries an inner cosmos, a vibrant universe where healing, creativity, and purpose reside. My mission is to guide women back into this sacred space—to their inner landscapes—where they can uncover their truths, reignite their passions, and reclaim their power.

Drawing on yoga, pranayama, somatic movement, art, journaling, and plant wisdom, I design experiences that inspire self-healing and deep connection. I invite participants to slow down, tune in, and listen to the whispers of their soul. These practices serve as a bridge, reconnecting us to our dharma and reminding us of the boundless energy and potential we hold within.

My purpose—my dharma—is to build, grow, and imagine a world where we honor the light within ourselves and each other. Through my work, I aim to cultivate a community that celebrates the truth that We Are All Stars, each capable of shining brightly in our unique way. Let us explore, create, and remember together.
