PRIVATE + BRAND RETREATS
Whether you are planning a milestone celebration, leadership gathering, creative brand experience, or restorative retreat, Rituel designs and hosts immersive gatherings shaped with intention and care. We create refined environments where beauty, thoughtful design, and aesthetic clarity support meaningful connection.
HOSTED RETREATS
We collaborate with individuals and private groups to design immersive retreat and celebratory experiences shaped around your intention. Whether held at our Nature Refuge in the Santa Monica Mountains, hosted in a private home or meaningful location of your choosing, or realized as a destination retreat in another region or country, each gathering is carefully composed to foster beauty, connection, and depth. From milestone celebrations to threshold moments and restorative retreats, we steward the full experience — from vision through coordination — so you and your guests can arrive fully and enjoy the gathering.
CORPORATE RETREATS + BRAND ACTIVATIONS
We partner with organizations, teams, and aligned brands to create immersive retreat and activation experiences that support clarity, collaboration, and meaningful engagement. Whether convening a leadership retreat or designing a creative brand activation, we shape environments that blend aesthetic clarity, intentional structure, and embodied practice. Each experience is aligned with your organization’s values and objectives, fostering coherence and renewed perspective.
THE NATURE REFUGE
Our 20 acre ocean view Nature Sanctuary at the border of Topanga and Malibu provides an exquisite backdrop for intimate gatherings, just minutes from Los Angeles yet worlds away. It is nestled high in the Santa Monica Mountains, in an area that stays particularly lush and green year-round. It features breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean from up high, often above the clouds.
Flanked by land that is a nature preserve, the property has miles of scenic hiking trails that weave through the hills, which are alive with pristine coastal chaparral vegetation and outcroppings of beige and pink granite boulders. The retreat was designed to add luxurious amenities into the natural setting in a harmonious way. It includes indoor and outdoor spaces including welcoming safari tents that serve as relaxation and treatment rooms. It also features a nature labyrinth, meditation gardens, an outdoor bathhouse with a soaking tub and outdoor shower.
For those seeking to take their community on adventures further afield, we also design and facilitate destination retreats in collaboration with our network of highly skilled practitioners.
OUR APPROACH
Every gathering at Rituel is shaped with intention from first conversation through integration. We hold the full arc of the experience so you can remain present to your people and the purpose of your time together.
DISCOVERY
We begin with attentive listening. Together, we clarify your intention, desired outcomes, vision, scope, and scale so the direction is aligned and actionable.
CONCEPT + DESIGN
We shape the arc of the day — spatial layout, pacing, facilitation structure, culinary flow, and any ritual or reflective elements — ensuring each component serves the whole and the experience unfolds with coherence.
COORDINATION
We oversee site preparation, vendor coordination, guest communication, timeline management, and on-site logistics with steadiness and care, allowing the gathering to move seamlessly.
FACILITATION
Our experienced practitioners lead with clarity and discernment, holding transitions and responding to the group so the gathering unfolds with depth and ease.
INTEGRATION
When desired, we provide professional photography film documentation, along with custom-designed materials that thoughtfully capture and extend the experience.
