Frequently Asked Questions

What does “decolonized self-care” actually look like at MEhab?
Decolonized self-care is about returning to holistic, ancestral, and intuitive forms of care that center your well-being outside of oppressive systems. It’s about releasing productivity-based worth and embracing practices that honor your natural rhythms, values, and cultural roots.

Also, decolonized self-care means stepping away from commercialized wellness and returning to intuitive care, and liberatory practices that truly center you. Here’s what that might look like:

• Foraging Earth medicine, tea ceremonies, and being with the elements.

• Restful days guided by your energy—not a schedule

• Bodywork rooted in touch, grounding and tradition

• Creative expression through art, play, storytelling, and sound

• Sliding scale access and token-based reciprocity

• Communal meals with whole foods and cultural nourishment

• Solo nature time to reattune with land and self

You don’t have to earn rest here. You just have to arrive.

Who is MEhab for?
MEhab is for the burned-out caregiver or professional who’s been holding everyone else—clients, family, or teams—and now needs space to be held. It’s for those at a crossroads, navigating transitions in work, relationships, or identity, seeking clarity and stillness. It’s for the curious college student or recent grad feeling overwhelmed by expectations and craving a reconnection with what’s real. MEhab is also for the wellness explorer who’s tried traditional tools like yoga or therapy but is now seeking deeper, more ancestral and intuitive healing. It’s for the griever or healer carrying loss—of a loved one, a version of self, or simply time—and needing space to feel, process, and integrate. And finally, MEhab is for anyone seeking peace. No justification needed. If your soul is tired, you are welcome here.

What types of experiences does MEhab offer?
We offer immersive retreats, nature-based day trips, self-guided rituals, coaching-style services, and creative explorations. Each experience is designed to help you release, restore, and reimagine your life through embodied practice and connection to nature and self.

Our immersive retreats invite you to spend 3 to 5 days in a mountain sanctuary with add-on offerings like intuitive bodywork, forest bathing, creative challenges, and elemental nature exploration—all centered around rest and renewal. For those with limited time, our nature-based day trips provide a half or full day of guided reflection, creative play, and connection with rivers, forests, and quiet corners.

Guests also receive self-guided rituals, including journaling prompts, meditations, and breathwork practices that can be done alone or with a partner. For deeper support, MEhab offers one-on-one coaching sessions—virtual or in-person—to help navigate transitions and build personalized care practices. Creative outlets round out our offerings, giving you space to express through collage, play, sound, or exercise —no experience needed, just openness. Every MEhab experience is crafted to meet you where you are and support your return to self and integrate those practices back to home, work or journey.

How do I book a retreat or day trip?
Booking a retreat or day trip with MEhab is simple and supportive. You can explore all upcoming offerings on our Experiences page, where each listing includes full details, available dates, and a direct booking link. Our process is designed to be personal and intentional, beginning with a two-step flow: first, you'll complete a brief inquiry survey on our website to share your interests, intentions, and care needs. From there, you'll be invited to schedule a free Clarity Call—a relaxed conversation to help you explore your options, ask questions, and align with the experience that best fits your journey. Whether you're ready to reserve your spot or just feeling curious, you're welcome to jump in and begin your inquiry anytime. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Is MEhab a rehab center?
No—MEhab is not a rehab center. We are not a clinical facility, and we do not offer medical or addiction treatment services. Instead, MEhab is a restoration space designed for those who are ready to choose themselves, step away from the noise, and reconnect with their body, spirit, and purpose. While some of our guests may be navigating personal challenges, burnout, grief, or major transitions, MEhab is not about diagnosis or intervention—it’s about intention. This is a place for radical self-care, ancestral practices, and embodied healing, where you reclaim your time and reimagine the life you want to live. We hold space for rest, reflection, and renewal—not treatment, but transformation.

What can I expect during a MEhab retreat?
Expect stillness, nature, connection, and clarity. MEhab retreats are carefully curated experiences that invite you to slow down and return to yourself. Each retreat blends movement, rest, reflection, nourishing food, and immersive creative or wellness-based experiences to support your mind, body, and spirit. You’ll leave grounded, recharged, and realigned—with new tools to support your life beyond the retreat.

Our retreats follow a three-act flow, shaped by the personal intentions and care preferences you share in your inquiry form

Do you offer virtual or self-guided practices?
Yes. In addition to in-person retreats, MEhab offers a Membership Program designed to support your ongoing self-care journey—wherever you are. Members receive access to personalized, one-on-one coaching-style support with flexible options: weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly check-ins.

You can also choose to receive daily affirmations tailored to your current life themes, goals, and healing process. Alongside this, we provide downloadable guides, audio meditations, and monthly self-care rituals you can follow at your own pace.

Whether you need structured guidance, gentle accountability, or reminders to reconnect with yourself, the MEhab Membership meets you where you are—with care that evolves as you do.

What makes MEhab different?
MEhab isn’t about escaping your life—it’s about returning to yourself more fully. Unlike traditional wellness programs or luxury retreats, MEhab centers decolonized, conscious self-care rooted in ancestral wisdom, mutual aid, and embodied practice.

We don't offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we guide you through personalized experiences that blend ritual, rest, movement, nature, and creative expression. Whether you're joining us for a 3-day retreat, a day trip, or through our membership program, every touchpoint is designed to be intentional, intuitive, and sustaining.

At MEhab, we’re not just here to help you feel good for a weekend—we’re here to equip you with tools, rituals, and practices you can carry into your everyday life. From self-guided ceremonies to custom affirmations and coaching support, MEhab invites you to live in alignment with your own rhythm, values, and vitality.

This is not escape. This is embodied transformation—and it’s built to last.

CIRCLE 8 – MEhab's Mutual Aid Model

CIRCLE 8 is the heart of MEhab’s mutual aid model, created to remind us that care is not a commodity—it’s a shared offering. Every MEhab guest is part of a living circle, receiving gifts contributed by those who came before and leaving something meaningful behind for those who will follow. This isn’t about giving what you don’t have—it’s about recognizing the abundance that already lives within you and offering a piece of it in return. Through this exchange, healing becomes reciprocal, personal, and powerful.

There are eight types of offerings in the CIRCLE 8 model: Land, Space, Experience (Practice), Host, Favorite Snack, Favorite Drink, Tool, and Resource. These can look like planting herbs, leaving a journal, sharing a breathwork session, offering a favorite tea, gift cards, tokens or recommending a book that helped you heal. Each act—big or small—creates a thread of connection. Whether you give quietly, anonymously or share with the group, you become part of a continuum of generosity. At MEhab, healing is never solitary. It’s held, supported, and passed on.
