Since moving to Santa Cruz in 2020, I have fallen madly in love and I am so honored to invite you to this cozy coastal town that I call home. 

Each day has been intentionally curated to inspire creativity, mindset shifts, and breakthroughs in both your personal and business worlds.

Also, total relaxation, and FUN!

My team and I will be guiding you and your business with workshops, writing sessions, rituals and ceremonies to drop in with yourself and your business. 

In addition to our workshops, we’ll take you forest bathing in the Redwoods, hiking along the Pacific coastline, with evening sound healing, 1:1 Reiki sessions, nourishing meals prepared by local chefs, and more… 

This will be my first offering as a new mom and I cannot think of a better way to start 2023. 

a note from krista: 

Meet Your Team

I will be your host for this fabulous retreat. In addition to running Authentic Audience, hosting the podcast, and prepping to be a new mom, I've assisted on, marketed, launched, planned, co-hosted, and worked on 100+ retreats. I know exactly what you are looking for and what you need to feel taken care of. 

As always, I am bringing out all the stops. I will be guiding the ceremonies and workshops and will serve as your tour guide on our hikes on the coast and in the Redwoods. 

I am honored to spend this sacred time with you supporting you and the sweet spirit of your business.
