Birth of Epic Retreats

Back in 2010, I was hiking my absolute favorite bluff trail in Big Sur. The serenity of the place just completely enveloped me – the waves crashing, sea lions calling in the distance, it was just me and the endless ocean.

Raquel MacugayDeath Valley Retreat, 2026
"Our 3 days in Death Valley National Park with Sunita as our guide were nothing short of transformational. From the moment we arrived, every detail was thoughtfully curated. In just three days, we experienced an incredible range of landscapes and moments — from sunrise light stretching across endless desert basins, to hikes through otherworldly rock formations, to standing in the quiet vastness that only Death Valley can offer. Each day felt full, but never rushed. There was space to explore, reflect, laugh, and truly be present. Our guide, Sunita, is the heart and soul of this experience. Her depth, warmth, and genuine love for what she does are immediately apparent. She has a rare ability to hold space for an entire group while still making each person feel seen. You can tell she doesn’t just lead trips — she lives them alongside you. Her attention to small but meaningful details stood out most. She seamlessly adjusted plans based on group energy, weather, timing, and individual needs — always for the good of the whole. Nothing felt rigid or scripted. Instead, everything felt intentional, responsive, and deeply human. These trips are so much more than hiking destinations. They create space for connection — to each other, to the land, and honestly, to ourselves. There is something powerful about being in places this vast and ancient. It strips away noise and distraction, giving you room to meet yourself there. To reflect. To soften. To delve into who you are. I left this trip feeling grounded, expanded, and deeply grateful. If you are looking for more than just a trip — if you are looking for an experience that stays with you long after you leave — this is it. Thank you, Sunita, and everyone who was part of this Death Valley journey, for creating something truly special."

"Our retreat with Sunita was such a magical trip! It was a collective and personal experience. Each of us came with our own objectives, stories, and experiences from the trip. 12 women from diverse backgrounds came together in nature, sharing our stories, dreams, fears, food, laughter, culture, camping hacks, and encouragement. Friendships were formed, and bonds grew from experiencing this sacred place together. Water is life. The flow and sound of water energized us. It was hard to leave. Sunita was such a great host, guide, and facilitator. She gave great tips to prepare us for this special experience, including packing tips, history, and sharing her own experiences from prior visits. I felt welcomed and seen. Sunita allowed us to be ourselves and curate our own experience, whether by joining the group in activities or choosing to read, journal, or sit by the falls. I enjoyed both the structure and the individual choices. Sunita is fun and very thoughtful. I enjoyed her energy, calmness, and presence. The trip overall was well curated and executed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sunita! This was truly a dream come true!!! ♡ And to the ladies I had the pleasure of sharing this trip with, I am grateful to each of you for your generosity and kindness!!! I am already looking forward to my next EPIC adventure."

"What a fabulous weekend with an amazing group of ladies! I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful memories we created together in Arizona. It truly was an experience that I will cherish forever. A special shoutout to you, Sunita Goldstein, for always sharing your love of the outdoors and your invaluable experience. This trip could not have been more perfect without your careful planning, your guidance, and ensuring we had the right gear from the very start. Thank you for letting us be part of this incredible adventure. Looking forward to the next outdoor escapade!"

Nature has always been my happy place, a source of deep joy that comes fromtruly following my passion. Out there, I felt completely free, able to drop all the daily worries and connect with something so much bigger than myself. Those trails weren’t just paths; they were my road to self-discovery and a spiritual awakening.

As I sat there meditating by the shore, staring at the horizon, something just clicked. It was a clear calling – I knew I had to share this incredible love for the outdoors with others who were looking for a similar experience. I wanted them to feel that same amazing sense of wonder that nature brought out in me. For me, exploring new trails wasn’t just about finding new places; it was about digging deep into my own soul, figuring out my purpose, and how I could really make adifference in the world. I truly believed in nature’s power to heal, change, and wake up the human spirit.

That whole hike, my mind was buzzing with ideas on how to help others experience the same joy and appreciation for nature that I held so dear. It was like inspiration was whispering, urging me to share the stunning views, the mesmerizing landscapes, and the priceless peace and quiet I was so lucky to find. I pictured myself leading groups on incredible journeys through nature, sharing everything I knew and loved about the outdoors, and helping them really connect with their inner selves.

And just like that, my lifelong dream started to become a reality. That very same year, I hosted my first-ever retreat in Napa Valley. I put together an itinerary that included hiking, meditation, yoga, and workshops focused on nature. My goal was to create a truly holistic experience that would nourish the body, mind, and soul.

The journey since then has been absolutely incredible, filled with countless trails and amazing places that just keep fueling my passion for exploration. Sharing this passion has been so rewarding. Seeing the profound transformations that happen when people truly immerse themselves in nature has been nothing short of miraculous. I’ve watched people overcome fears, rediscover joy, and tap into their inner strength. I’ve seen friendships bloom, hearts open, and lives change. I’m truly dedicated to continuing to share my love for nature and helping others find their own paths to peace, joy, and self-discovery.

I followed my heart… and it has taken me on an amazing adventure. I am delighted to share my passion with you!
