Essence Retreat
Four days in Siargao to come all the way home.
Step away from the noise of your life and meet yourself on the other side of it. A small, held container — maximum twenty people — of breathwork, somatic work, rest and remembering. 200+ lives transformed since 2023.
A note from Libni
Essence Retreat has concluded.
To everyone who came, who breathed, who cried on the second day and laughed on the third — thank you. You trusted me with something tender, and I don’t take that lightly. What happened in that room stays with me.
I’m grateful beyond words to my team, to the island, and to every person who chose themselves for four days. The next dates aren’t set yet. If Essence is calling you, leave your name on the waitlist and you’ll be the first to know when the doors open again.
Below are the words of the people who were there.
From the people who were there
I came thinking I was okay. I left realizing I wasn’t. What I found was healing, hope, and a deeper understanding of myself. One of the greatest investments I’ve ever made.
King FortunaBusinessman
I came with the intention to release and remember, and that’s exactly what happened. I let go of the trauma I’d been carrying and reconnected with who I truly am.

Essence created a space of deep connection, safety, and belonging. I discovered a new way of seeing myself and a new way of living.

The story
Four days in Siargao to come all the way home.
There’s a particular kind of tired that sleep doesn’t fix. It’s the tiredness of carrying yourself through a life that looks right and feels far away. You don’t need a holiday. You need to be somewhere your nervous system can finally stop bracing.
Essence is four days on an island where nobody needs you to be anything. We breathe — properly, deeply, until what’s been stuck in your chest for years starts to move. We work with the body, because the body keeps what the mind has filed away. We sit in circle with twenty people who are also done pretending, and something happens in that room that doesn’t happen anywhere else: you feel safe enough to be seen.
People cry on the second day. They laugh on the third. On the fourth, they say things like I forgot I could feel like this. They go home and end the relationship, start the business, call their mother, sleep through the night. Not because I told them to — because they remembered who they are, and that person doesn’t live the old way anymore.
Twenty seats. That’s it. Not because it’s exclusive — because I refuse to hold a room I can’t actually hold. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally do something for yourself, this is it. Apply, or put your name on the list. When the next dates open, you’ll be the first to know.
This is for you if
You’re longing to fully step away and go deep.
You want to be held in community, not do this alone.
You’re ready for a turning point, not just a getaway.
What’s included

How it works
Three honest steps.
Apply or join the waitlist
Tell me a little about you; seats are limited to twenty.
Hold your seat
A deposit confirms your place; the balance is due before the retreat.
Come home
Packing list, travel and logistics arrive as the dates near.
Good to know
What if it’s full?
You’ll join the waitlist and get first word when a seat or the next retreat opens.
How do payments work?
A 30% deposit holds your seat; the balance is due 30 days before the retreat.
Peace of mind
A 30% deposit holds your seat and is non-refundable. The balance is due 30 days before the retreat. Cancel more than 30 days out and your balance is refunded; within 30 days it's non-refundable, but your full payment can transfer to the next retreat once. Waivers and health forms must be completed to attend.
