At the core of the METREAT is an intensive introspective immersion designed for mind-body integration.
Founded by Lisa Hayim, this unique retreat experience goes beyond the conventional, curating a diverse array of mindfulness and somatic modalities all in one place, fostering a safe community and happening in just a few days.
Our philosophy is centered on the belief that the journey is not about transformation but rather, a homecoming to your true self, embracing the CRAZY idea that you’re already exactly who you need to be.
the METREAT embodies an approach of 'more wellness, less seriousness,' inviting METREATERs to engage in wellness practices with a light-hearted spirit.
This ethos encourages a joyful exploration of self, ensuring that the journey towards wellness is filled with laughter, connection, and genuine moments of joy that we can TAKE HOME WITH US.

Hi! If you’re new to me, I’m so excited that you’re here. I’m a registered dietitian and a certified yoga teacher — and I'm VERY excited to create something that I personally needed for myself. I’m a firm believer that evolution is actually easy (and necessary!). It’s our resistance (and fear) to change that’s hard. I've also found that a lot of "life's answers" are right under our nose.
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.
My goal is to introduce or re-introduce you to wellness practices that you'll want to take home with you-securing that connection to self as you re-emerge back into the real world.
You can trust that I’ll create a SAFE place where we can release, re-embody, and re-emerge clarified and confident.
METREAT FOUNDER, Lisa Hayim
"the METREAT originated from my NEED rediscover my identity beyond motherhood during the post-partum period. I craved ancient wisdom and mind-body practices to transition from overthinking to embodied living. But I didn’t have much time to give- so I piecemealed and created my own version, I hoped to emerge transformed, but what I discovered was something even more valuable: a sense of comfort, clarity, and confidence in who I already was deep down.
The METREAT isn't an escape; it's a profound homecoming to who we truly are."
