A JOINT RETREAT LED BY
FOR PARENT & CHILD
Four days of intentional togetherness
There is something powerful about stepping away from everyday life and giving your child the gift of your full attention. For four unhurried days, this retreat creates space to slow down, reconnect, and spend meaningful time together without the usual routines and distractions.
We’ll begin on Thursday evening with a gratitude ceremony and dinner, parents and children together, before moving into four days of presence, play, reflection, and genuine connection. For those who celebrate Thanksgiving, it offers a different way to spend the holiday: with more time, more presence, and more intention. For everyone else, it is simply the beginning of a few days designed to help you see one another more clearly and create memories that remain long after you return home.
This retreat is for you if …
You're ready for more than another long weekend together.
You want to create memories that feel real, not simply another family photograph or vacation.
You want to create a relationship in which honesty feels safe.
One where your child knows they are loved and able to come to you without needing to perform or have the right answer.
You’re worried that everyday life is getting in the way of your relationship.
Between school, work, schedules, rules, and responsibilities, you spend plenty of time together but sometimes wonder whether you are truly connecting.
You want your child to know more of you, too.
Not only as the parent who manages, guides, and protects, but as a whole person with experiences, hopes, fears, and dreams of your own.
You want to understand your child more deeply.
You worry that you are seeing who you hope they might become instead of who they are today.
You know your future relationship is being shaped now.
These years are short. You want to guide your child without losing sight of the connection you hope will continue long after they leave home.
What to expect.
Four days of reconnection and renewal
Pre-retreat coaching session (30 min): A one-on-one session for the parent, with Patricia or Anna, helping you arrive ready and open for the experience ahead.
Post-retreat coaching session (45 min): A chance to reflect and integrate, redeemable within four weeks of the retreat.
A beautiful, retreat-style setting thoughtfully designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and truly connect.
Guided conversations skillfully facilitated to nurture trust, spark curiosity, and build a stronger bond.
Out of your heads, into your bodies: Conscious movement, breathwork, and energy-based practice, built for parent and child to do together, not just talk about together.
Free time, your way: Built-in unstructured time each day, pick from a massage, a surf lesson, the beach, or the pool.
4 days / 3 nights, all meals: Accommodation for one parent and one child, plus meals from Thursday dinner through Sunday lunch, at the retreat venue.
Co-facilitation, two ways of working: Patricia brings conscious parenting coaching and guided, trust-building conversation. Anna brings transpersonal therapy, yoga, and somatic awareness.

Two coaches, one shared belief
-
Founder, Branch Out LLC
Patricia founded Branch Out around a simple belief: parenthood is one of the most powerful invitations for personal growth there is. As an ICF PCC-credentialed coach and certified conscious parenting coach, she's spent years turning that belief into practice, leading parent-child retreats that have ranged from father-daughter weekends to mother-daughter circles to the parent-and-child format you'll find here.
Across all of them, her focus stays the same: helping each pair move past the conversations they already know how to have, and into the kind of connection built on presence and trust, not performance, and not the patterns they grew up with.
-
Founder, One Love Academy
An integral transpersonal therapist, consciousness-based coach, and yoga and mindfulness teacher, Anna works at the intersection of body, mind, and heart, combining transpersonal psychology, mindfulness, yoga, and somatic body awareness with consciousness-based relational coaching.
A yoga and mindfulness teacher since 2016 with over 15 years of personal practice, she has guided adults and adolescents through self-awareness work across Spain, Switzerland, and now Portugal, in six languages.
Kind Words from Past Retreats
The venue
Hotel Damara(formerly Baja Nomads Hotel)is built around a belief that fits this retreat perfectly: that the family unit is the foundation of real growth, and that individual transformation and family connection belong in the same place, not in separate ones. It has been built for disconnecting from the outside world long enough to reconnect with each other.
Address: Hotel Damara (Formerly Baja Nomads), El Pescadero, 23300 Baja California Sur, Mexico
