Tabitha Rose

TABITHA ROSE

@TAB_NAV

Fifty feet of brown paper unfurled with black sharpie scribbles, surrounded by candles, bear Tabitha's life story. Surrounded in a community, she makes 'home' an inside-job wherever she goes.

Compassionate, intuitive, and deeply rooted in meaning of legacy, **Tabitha is committed to helping others put their Life to Paper**. Energy can and should be used for the benefit of all is Tabitha's motto, and storytelling gives her energy to build dreams (her and others) upon.

Tabitha is at her brightest in a room filled with souls and sugo (tomato sauce), creating and sharing stories about life, perseverance, and connection. Proudly sober. She is best known for making sure nobody gets left behind or forgotten...ever.

Brenna Wagnon

BRENNA WAGNON

@BRENNAWAGNON

With a background in dance and a deep love for movement, Brenna brings a playful yet intentional approach to **vinyasa yoga**. Her classes blend fluid sequencing and dynamic expression—an exploration of the body’s innate intelligence and the spaces in between.

Guided by creativity and a deep curiosity for the world, her vinyasa classes invite you to explore beyond the familiar, moving through patterns that awaken something deeper. She sees movement as a way to **shift perspectives**, both on and off the mat.

Set to carefully curated playlists, her flows are both **grounding and expansive**, inviting students to step into presence, play, and self-discovery.

Testimonial

Chris doesn't just sell a brand; he curates an experience. The attention to detail–from the luxury accommodations to the private beach dinners–was incredible, but it's the energy of the group that keeps me coming back. This isn't a stuffy wellness clinic; it's a celebration of life. Whether you are in recovery or just looking for a community that values real connection over surface-level small talk, this is where you need to be.

- Alex M., 2x Retreat Alum

There is something magical about the State of Gratitude community. I'm not even strictly 'sober,' but I wanted a break from the party scene, and this retreat gave me a natural high I didn't know was possible. Tabitha's sessions on putting 'Life to Paper' helped me articulate things I'd been bottling up for years. We laughed, we cried, and we danced on the beach. It's rare to find luxury travel that also feeds your soul this deeply. 10/10 experience.

- Elena R., Creative & Entrepreneur

I booked this trip terrified because I didn’t know a single soul, but honestly, it was the best decision I’ve made for myself in years. From the moment I arrived, the vibe was just... different. Safe. Open. Chris creates a container where you can just be yourself, and Tabitha wasn't kidding when she said no one gets left behind. I walked in a stranger and left with a family. If you are hesitating to go solo: Just book it. You won't be alone for long.
