WKNDR × Connect
Immersive Desert Retreats
Slow down. Go outside. Connect.
WKNDR x Connect Retreats are thoughtfully designed stays that focus on connecting to nature, fostering a deeper understanding of the natural world and our place in it.
Each retreat is custom curated and built around your WKNDR stay. Guided experiences in Joshua Tree National Park, restorative practices, creative sessions, and meals are woven together into a cohesive retreat, so all you have to do is show up and connect.
