I'm Lena
The Space Between Doing and Being
I spent a decade in corporate event management — big conferences, product launches, team offsites. I was good at it, but I was burning out. Then I went on a silent meditation retreat in Bali, and everything changed. I came home and couldn't go back to planning events that didn't matter. So I started designing retreats — spaces where people could stop performing and start feeling. Where the schedule serves your soul, not your shareholders. Seven years and 120+ retreats later, Solaris Retreats has hosted thousands of people across four continents. From mountain mindfulness weekends in Big Sur to 10-day transformation journeys in Bali, every experience we create is designed to help people slow down, go inward, and return home changed.
You Don't Need to Escape Your Life. You Need to Come Home to Yourself.
LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN
What Our Clients Say
Real stories from people who took the leap and found something they didn't know they were looking for.
"I arrived exhausted and overwhelmed. By day three, something had shifted. Lena creates a space where you can finally exhale. I've been back twice now."
Nora Ashworth
Mountain Mindfulness Retreat Attendee
"We brought our leadership team to Lena's corporate retreat and it was the most productive offsite we've ever had. Real conversations, real alignment, real results."
Marcus Webb
VP People, Kinetic Labs
"Ten days in Bali with Lena changed the trajectory of my life. The combination of yoga, breathwork, and community was exactly what I needed to find clarity."
Priya Desai
Bali Transformation Journey Participant
"I'd been blocked for months. By the second morning in Big Sur, words were flowing again. The setting, the structure, and Lena's facilitation were perfect."
Tom Hargrove
Creative Writing Retreat Attendee
"Lena helped me plan and launch my first retreat — from venue selection to pricing to marketing. It sold out in two weeks. I couldn't have done it without her."
Camille Rousseau
Yoga Teacher & Retreat Consulting Client
"We wanted a weekend to reconnect without screens or schedules. Lena designed a private retreat with couples yoga, hiking, and farm-to-table meals. Exactly what we needed."
