Meet the Heart Behind the Retreats: Passion for Wellness, Love for Connection
Welcome! I am Amanda Raymond, and I believe in the transformative power of wellness and community. My journey started with a dream to create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, nature, and each other.
Since childhood, I’ve embraced exploration and playfulness as guiding forces in my life. Today, as an international retreat leader, teacher, artist, and licensed mental health therapist with over 20 years of experience, I am devoted to helping others play more, effort less, and live fully. I invite you to embark on this journey with me—to open your heart, rediscover joy, and see the beauty in your one life.
ONE LIFE. LIVE IT. is more than a name; it’s a movement. Founded by Amanda Raymond, LMHC, AHC, KYT, this work is rooted in creating sacred spaces for individuals and organizations to reconnect with themselves, nature, and each other. Through thoughtfully curated domestic and international retreats, we honor our innate gifts, embrace rest and adventure, and cultivate meaningful connections that refill our wells.
Are you ready to live as your fullest self? Let’s begin.
A passion for travel
Our mission is to facilitate luxury international wellness and adventure retreats. Guests meet as strangers and leave as friends deeply connected to themselves, each other, nature, and the law of abundance.
ONE LIFE. LIVE IT. donates backpacks filled with art, athletic, and school supplies to children worldwide, one retreat, one gourmet meal, and one breath at a time.
