This Death Valley solo wellness retreat guides you on foot and with ATVs to the best Mojave Desert places, where you will find the the most precious takeaway – clarity.

Cynthia’s job is to guide you to the best places and give you a comfortable place to regroup, prepare nutritious food for you, and when you are on you own keep track of your whereabouts. The desert will take care of the rest. And it never disappoints.
