Something sacred is coming to Montrose, Iowa…


On Saturday, August 2, 2025, join us for Full Bloom—a one-day retreat designed to renew your spirit, nourish your body, and help you gently return to yourself.


Hosted at 1884 On The Bluff, a story-rich venue perched 180 feet above the Mississippi River, this immersive retreat blends yoga, sound healing, gentle ceremony, creative expression, and community connection—all nestled in the height of Iowa summer, surrounded by zinnias and old-growth trees.


Led by healer and teacher Benny Saint James, this experience is both grounding and elevating. With over 17 years of experience as a yoga teacher, massage therapist, and intuitive guide, Benny’s work blends somatic awareness, energetic insight, and soulful ritual to help each guest reconnect with their own wisdom and rhythm.

At its heart, Full Bloom isn’t about escape—it’s about returning:

To your center.

To the breath.

To beauty.

To truth.

Who It's For

This retreat is for anyone craving a pause. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just need a day to reset, Full Bloom offers space to simply be. We move slowly, listen deeply, and hold space for joy, reflection, and truth.


As Benny often says:

“A true healer doesn’t fix you—they remind you of who you are.”
