Come to connect.
With strangers who become friends, with landscapes that awe, and with yourself.
Intentionally small.
Intimacy is built in. Ten guests, shared meals, and experiences designed to bring people genuinely close.
Permission to exhale.
From locally sourced meals to guided experiences and seamless transfers, every detail is thought through. You bring yourself. We handle everything.
Solo? Couple? Welcome.
There's something brave
about just showing up.Most of our guests know the feeling of arriving somewhere new and alone. Most of them will tell you that it was the best decision they've made. Some come as a couple or with a friend, not to keep to themselves, but to open their circle. Experience new people, somewhere beautiful, and something to share beyond the trip itself.
What every TEVA guest takes home is different. But most describe some version of the same three things: people they didn't expect to feel so close to, time in nature that changed something, and a sense of themselves they'd been missing.
"I made new friends, which is what I really wanted most from this. We all had such a great experience that we just naturally clicked. The retreat was so great, that we were all in a good mood, which made it easy to be our best selves."

Apr 18–21 South Carolina
Spring in the Low Country:
Stillness in South CarolinaSome places hand you back to yourself. We invite you to the Coastal South, where salt marshes stretch to the horizon, Spanish moss sways off centuries-old branches, and a hush settles over everything as the tide rolls in. For four unhurried days, you'll move slow, breathe deep, and share it all with a small group who came looking for the same thing you did. By the end, the landscape won't be the only thing that's shifted.
Four Days in the Low Country
Day 1 · Welcome
First Connection
Every retreat begins with a first hello. We'll wander the historic grounds of Magnolia Plantation, where gardens and centuries of stories create the perfect setting for new friendships to take root.
Day 2 · Nature's Rhythm
Grounded and Free
We seek balance: between stillness and wonder, from our morning breath and mindful movement to beautiful marshes and a picnic lunch beneath the Angel Oak, a 400-year-old tree that invites reflection.
Day 3 · Into the Wild
Journey Deeper
Into a protected coastal wilderness where untouched beaches, maritime forests, and tidal landscapes reveal a wilder side of South Carolina. The awe we feel outdoors becomes the inspiration for an evening of creativity, nourishment, and conversation around the table.
Day 4 · End and Begin
Take It With You
Before saying goodbye, we gather for a coastal outing at Shem Creek, soaking in the natural beauty and watching for dolphins along the water. Pause to notice how much has shifted. Carry home the slower pace and renewed appreciation into the life waiting for you.

A New Season
From green grasses to gold and scarlet forests.
Find yourself among the colors.At TEVA, we believe the right place has the power to bring us back to ourselves. Because every destination has its own story to tell, each of our retreats invite you to experience the soul of a place while reconnecting with nature, yourself, and a community of new friends. Come discover Vermont at its most unforgettable.
There's a long weekend in New England we hope you'll be talking about forever. The kind where a memorable hike through a canopy of colors, so bold they quietly rearrange something inside you, and a group of strangers become your people. We've handled every detail so you can exhale and settle into yourself.

Travel the world with us.
The journey continues.Some of life's most memorable experiences begin the moment we step into a place unlike any we've known before. Our international retreats invite you to immerse yourself in breathtaking landscapes, rich traditions, and cultures that reveal a new way of seeing the world. We thoughtfully curate every detail so you can travel with curiosity, presence, and ease.
Imagine brushing your hands through a lavender field, gathering a handful of blooms, and later turning them into tea alongside someone you met on that very same path. There's nothing grand about brewing tea from a handful of flowers, yet it's exactly these small, shared moments where presence and friendship take root.
I'm interested in ProvenceIn this walkable island, you'll encounter Dutch colonial architecture, South American flavors, and Chinese markets. This mish-mesh feels both new and instantly familiar, much like the people you'll find yourself sharing it with.

Come as you are.
Across every landscape.
Whoever you share it with.Somewhere between winding trails, shared tables, and quiet moments, you find your way back to yourself. The point isn't to become someone new. It's to remember who you already are. The right moment to go is usually the one that scares you a little. Every detail has been taken care of so that from the moment you arrive, you can just be present.
About us.
TEVA means nature, but also...
it's an acronym for Taly and Errol Ventures, Amen!
Good friends...
Hi, we're Errol & Taly. We've been friends for over 30 years. Errol brings decades of experience in hospitality, operations, and travel, creating the thoughtful details and seamless flow that allow guests to relax and fully enjoy the experience. Taly brings the creative vision behind TEVA, curating destinations, experiences, and moments where beauty, wellness, and connection come together. Between us, and countless miles traveled, we've poured it all into what a retreat can be.
Good food...
Do you love good food? We do too! Total foodies here. At every retreat, we bring in local chefs who cook with the season and the setting, turning fresh, vibrant ingredients into meals that nourish as much as they delight. And your preferences, allergies, and cravings will shape the menu before you even arrive, through a simple intake form.
Good times...
The best times happen when you feel comfortable just being yourself, right? We craft an environment with warmth and intention so that connection finds you naturally. We aim for balance between curated activities and the freedom and openness that helps you slow down and take deeper breaths. The only thing on your to-do list is to show up with an open heart.
Questions & answers
-
I'm traveling alone. Will I feel comfortable coming by myself?Absolutely. Many guests come solo, and some arrive with a partner, friend, or family member. No matter how they arrive, guests share a common intention: to step outside their everyday routine, experience something new, meet people who may become lifelong friends, and carry something meaningful home with them. Our small group size, shared experiences, and intentional gatherings create natural opportunities for connection without pressure.
-
How much of the retreat is planned, and will I have time to explore on my own?TEVA retreats are thoughtfully designed with a balance of meaningful experiences, shared meals, and intentional moments to slow down. Each itinerary includes curated activities and outings, but we know everyone's ideal balance looks different. Join every adventure, take time to read, wander, rest, or simply enjoy the beauty around you. You're always welcome to step away and return when it feels right. We create the rhythm; you experience it in the way that feels most meaningful to you.
-
Do TEVA retreats focus on wellness?Wellness can mean something different to everyone. At TEVA, it isn't about following a strict program or stepping away from the life you love. It's about creating the space to slow down, reconnect, and discover what helps you feel your best.
Our retreats are intentionally designed with balance in mind: time in nature, meaningful experiences, nourishing meals, moments of reflection, and plenty of room to simply enjoy being present. We offer opportunities to unplug, but never require it. We encourage mindful choices, but never create rules around how you spend your time, what you eat, or how you connect.
Some guests may leave with a new habit, a fresh perspective, or a renewed appreciation for themselves and the world around them. Others may simply return home feeling rested and inspired. The experience is yours to shape. Let us know what you're hoping for, and we'll help create a retreat that feels right for you. -
Do I need to be a certain fitness level? What if I'm looking for more adventure? Or less?Every morning begins with a blend of mind-body practices designed to help you reconnect with your body. Rather than focusing on fitness or performance, we focus on helping every guest feel good in their body. Our practices are designed to awaken your senses, improve mobility, release tension, and remind you of what your body is capable of. Whether you're already active or simply looking to move more comfortably, each session is designed to leave you ready to greet the day.
Our outdoor experiences invite exploration without expectation. Move farther, linger longer, take the challenging path, or pause to take it all in. TEVA is designed so everyone can experience nature in a way that feels meaningful to them. -
What is included in the retreat price?Each retreat includes everything you need to fully immerse yourself in the experience: accommodations, meals, thoughtfully curated activities, transportation outlined in the retreat details, and the thoughtful touches that make TEVA unique. Accommodation options may vary, allowing guests to choose the room style and level of comfort that best suits them. Flights to and from the destination and personal expenses are not included.
We want you to have the best possible experience. As your hosts, we're here to help make your retreat everything you hoped it would be. Whether it's a dietary preference, a personal need, or a small detail that would make your stay feel extra special, share it with us and we'll do our best to make it happen. -
What happens after I reserve my spot?You'll hear from us within 24 hours. We'll share available room options and a simple intake form to tell us about your preferences and dietary needs. To secure your spot, a 25% deposit is required at booking. Full payment details and deadlines are outlined in our Payment & Cancellation Policy. From there, we handle everything. All you need to do is show up.
-
What makes TEVA different from a traditional vacation?A vacation takes you somewhere new. A TEVA retreat invites you to experience that place differently. We thoughtfully curate destinations, activities, meals, and moments designed around connection: with others, with nature, and with yourself.
So what makes us different? We hope something meaningful shifts for you and that you will return home with pieces of the experience that continue to nourish you: a new breathing technique, a new habit you want to carry forward, a recipe our amazing chef whipped up, and friendships that last a lifetime.
Payment & Cancellation Policies

For international retreats, the second 25% payment is due 120 days before your arrival date, with the remaining balance due 90 days before departure.
You're welcome to pay in full at any time. If you're booking after the final payment deadline has passed, full payment is required at the time of reservation.

Cancellation PolicyIf you cancel before the final payment deadline, any payments made beyond your initial 25% deposit will be refunded. The deposit itself remains non-refundable.

Private Retreats
Built around your people.
Already have your group? We design fully private retreats for families, friend circles, and anyone who's been waiting for the right trip to finally come together. You tell us where, and what your people love. We handle everything from there.
Where you sleep. What you eat. How each day is shaped. Activities that actually fit who you are: a fishing trip at dawn, a painting class in an old studio, yoga on a terrace, long unhurried meals with nowhere to be. We've traveled widely and know how to put it all together so it feels effortless.
