Crystal Island, Fiji
May 23-May 30, 2027

 

Imagine stepping away from the noise of everyday life and onto your own private island in Fiji — where your days are guided by breath, nature, nourishment and deep restoration.

 

Island Alchemy is an intimate, all-inclusive wellness retreat created by Lindsay Gorges of Ojas Breathwork, together with Caitlin Woolery, Naturopathic Medicine Practitioner and Clinical Master Herbalist.

 

This retreat brings together two powerful approaches to wellbeing: the transformative practice of conscious breathwork and the wisdom of naturopathic and herbal medicine.

 

BREATHE. NOURISH. RESTORE. RECONNECT.

 

Each day, Lindsay will guide you through transformational breath work experiences designed to help you slow down, regulate your nervous system, release what you’re ready to let go of, and reconnect with yourself.

 

Caitlin will offer private 1:1 wellness consultations, creating space to explore your individual health and wellbeing goals through a naturopathic and herbal-medicine lens.

 

You’ll also have the opportunity to learn about the incredible world of plants and herbs — including how herbs can be thoughtfully incorporated into daily life to support areas such as stress and nervous-system balance, digestion, liver support, energy and overall vitality.

 

Depending on your individual needs, your experience with Caitlin may include personalized herbal recommendations, teas or herbal preparations to enjoy during your retreat, and practical knowledge you can take home with you. Each guest will have the opportunity to connect with Caitlin prior to the retreat for a tongue diagnosis to determine which herbs are most appropriate.

 

This isn’t about following someone else’s wellness formula.

 

It’s about slowing down enough to listen to your body, reconnect with yourself, and discover what genuinely supports you.

A RESET FROM THE INSIDE OUT

 

We created Island Alchemy for those who feel called to step away from their usual routine and reconnect with what matters.

 

Through breathwork, naturopathic wisdom, herbal medicine, nourishing food, nature and deep rest, you’ll be invited to explore your own version of wellness — not as another thing to achieve, but as something to experience.

 

Seven days.

 

One private island.

 

Two experienced practitioners.

 

And the opportunity to return home feeling more grounded, nourished and connected than when you arrived.

WHO THIS IS FOR?

 

This retreat is for you if:

    •    You feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck

    •    You’re ready for a reset—mentally and emotionally

    •    You want to break patterns that no longer serve you

    •    You’re seeking clarity, direction, or peace

    •    You crave deeper connection with yourself

 

No experience necessary.

 

Just come as you are.

 

⸻

 

WHY BREATHWORK?

 

Your breath is a direct gateway to your nervous system.

 

When used intentionally, it can:

    •    Release stored stress and trauma

    •    Shift emotional patterns

    •    Improve mental clarity

    •    Restore balance in the body

 

This is an ancient practice—now being rediscovered for its powerful, lasting effects.

Spend your days surrounded by nature.

Unplug from the outside world—and reconnect within.

 

This isn’t just a retreat setting.

It’s part of the transformation.
