WELLNESS DESTINATIONS, RETREATS, & TRAVEL
Combining my love for work, travel, exploring, and renewing my energy, I am excited to share unique locations to refuel! Join the fun and share your favorite wellness locations with me on IG @JJDiGeronimo
I love showcasing beautiful wellness destinations and retreats to realign and refuel as they prepare for the next level of impact. Please note, I created this list to share all the things I am keeping my eye on and hope to visit soon!
I would also love to see you at one of my Together We Seek Retreats too!
Solo trips are not something that I thought of in my twenties or thirties, although I wish I did! As I got older, I didn’t realize how much I needed more alone time. And I think so many of us keep working through our to-do lists, over-giving to our family, our friends, our neighbors, our community, that we often don’t create space to fill our own bucket.
Retreats for Women looking to tap into more alignment, purpose and impact.
Together We SEEK Podcast
on Apple Podcast on Spotify
If your soul yearns for knowledge and enlightenment, tune in to the illuminating conversations here.
Each week we explore the transformative journey of our guests, filled with whispers and signs as we dive into the depths of their awakening, where timeless truths and sacred teachings intertwine.
Join me as I, JJ DiGeronimo, interview many lightworker friends who provide fantastic insight into a collective quest for spiritual growth and illumination! And explore the limitless potential of energy practices that can lead us toward the radiance of our true essence.
Are you, too, being called to embark on this transformative journey, weaving together the threads of our inner wisdom and divine knowing? Join us inside the community at www.TogetherWeSeek.Online
Please note, I have not visited most of the places listed below but hope to in the future. With this, I am manifest many of these experiences in my future!

Mindful and wellness travel isn’t just about checking destinations off your bucket list. It’s about nourishing your body, mind, and soul through transformative experiences that leave you feeling invigorated, inspired, and deeply connected.
Mindful and wellness travel is about immersing yourself in these moments, filling yourself up with the energy and awareness to embrace whatever life throws your way. Below are different type of wellness retreats and Warrington News provides things to consider when exploring the different options.
Solo travel can be a great way to challenge yourself and learn to be more independent. It can also be a great way to connect with yourself and your own thoughts and feelings. Solo travel can be a rewarding experience that can help you grow as a person.
Combining soul work, yoga, sound healing, and even meditation practices with the powerful energy of sacred places like Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, or the Ganges River can create a deeply transformative experience. You’ll be able to connect with the spiritual history of the site and deepen your own spiritual practice.
Meditation retreats are similar to yoga retreats in many ways, but they focus on meditation practices instead of yoga. These retreats can be a great way to learn new meditation techniques and deepen your existing practice. They can also be a great place to meet other people who are interested in mindfulness and well-being.
Cultural immersion experiences can be a great way to learn about different cultures and ways of life. These experiences can involve staying with a local family, learning a new language, or participating in traditional ceremonies. Cultural immersion experiences can be a great way to broaden your horizons and gain a new perspective on the world.
Vision quests are solitary journeys undertaken in nature to seek guidance and clarity. They typically involve spending time alone in the wilderness without food or water, allowing you to connect with your inner self and receive insights from the natural world.
Spiritual retreats offer a structured environment for exploring your spirituality. These retreats may include meditation sessions, prayer services, workshops on spiritual topics, and opportunities for personal reflection.
Ayahuasca is a powerful psychedelic plant medicine that can induce profound spiritual experiences. Ayahuasca ceremonies are typically led by experienced shamans and involve consuming the ayahuasca tea and participating in guided meditations and music therapy.
Mindfulness courses and workshops can be a great way to learn new mindfulness techniques and deepen your existing practice. These courses and workshops can also be a great way to meet other people who are interested in mindfulness and well-being.
Shamanic healing ceremonies are ancient rituals that involve working with a shaman to heal physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances. These ceremonies may include drumming, chanting, and the use of sacred herbs and plants.
Giving back to the community while being immersed in a spiritual environment can be incredibly rewarding. Volunteering at a spiritual organization or humanitarian project can help you connect with your own compassion and purpose while serving others.
Walking in the footsteps of historical figures who have inspired spiritual growth, like Jesus Christ, Buddha, or Gandhi, can be a powerful way to connect with your own spirituality. You can explore these sites and learn about their history and spiritual significance, reflecting on how they might apply to your own life.
My Soul Trips
One night, I decided I needed some adventure in my life. Early that week, a friend mentioned The Serpent Mounds in Ohio are a series of ancient earthworks, the most famous of which is the Great Serpent Mound located in Adams County. This remarkable effigy mound, shaped like a serpent with an egg in its mouth, stretches for 1,348 feet and is considered the largest serpent effigy mound in the world. The next morning I was off in my car to visit these amazing sounds and some of the people that made them so magical.
JJ DiGeronimo's Wellness Retreats and Global Wellness Destination
Sometimes a solo trip to seek spiritual guidance is required to decipher the chatter between your mind, your ego, and your heart. This was my reality as I approached my fortieth birthday.
