Into the Jungle: Lose Yourself to Find Your Path
Step into the heart of the jungle for an unforgettable adventure with camp METREAT. Nestled among the towering trees and vibrant chorus of the wild, our next retreat invites you to a world where wellness dances to the rhythm of nature, and seriousness takes a backseat to soulful exploration.
This isn't just a retreat; it's a jungle slumber party in treehouses, where every moment is an invitation to ignite your feminine flame and celebrate life in its purest form.
camp METREAT is your container for courage, connection, and celebration. It's where you leave behind the trappings of luxury and vanity to discover an inner expansiveness and a radiant beauty that shines from within.
Here, wellness is woven with whimsy, and every activity, from the crackle of the campfire to the whisper of the wind through the leaves, is designed to reconnect you with the earth, challenge your boundaries, and return you to your bare truth.
So call your besties and let them know you have new besties ;) It's time to root deeply into the earth, risk stepping out of your comfort zone, and return to the real, raw, and radiant you.
With a playful spirit and open heart, join us 'Into the Jungle' for a camp METREAT experience that promises to transform not just how you view wellness, but how you live it.
Waiting in the lush embrace of the jungle, where every day is a celebration of the wild, wonderful journey back to self <3

MEET YOUR CAMP METREAT FACILITATORS
Lisa Hayim & Tracey Toomey McQuade
LISA HAYIM
Founder, METREAT / CAMP METREAT
Co-Facilitator, CAMP METREAT
Lisa is a registered dietitian, certified yoga teacher, and creator of the METREAT and camp METREAT. She’s a firm believer that evolution is actually easy (and necessary!). It’s our resistance (and fear) to change that’s hard. She’s also found that a lot of "life's answers" are right under our nose.
Lisa trusts that the search isn't far and wide, but rather deep and inward - requiring us to move away from distractions and noise and connect with the parts of ourselves that have been screaming for our attention.
Lisa’s goal is to introduce (or re-introduce) you to mindfulness practices that you'll want to take home with you — securing that connection to self as you re-emerge back into the real world. She’s working hard to create a SAFE place where we can release, re-embody, and re-emerge clarified and confident.
TRACEY TOOMEY McQUADE
Co-Facilitator, CAMP METREAT
Tracey is a yogi, writer and mama who has been teaching yoga and meditation for over 15 years. She is lead faculty of both the 200Hr and 300Hr Yoga Shanti teacher training, where she gets to share her passion for philosophy, Sanskrit and sequencing.
Tracey is happiest when chanting, playing with her kids, reading poetry, cooking with her husband and/or going upside down. She’s passionate about exploring freedom of movement in inventive, yet safe, flow sequences set to music.
Tracey loves to help her fellow modern yogis bridge the gap between the ancient teachings of yoga and life in the modern material world. This will be her second METREAT! JAI MA!!
