Surrounded by the calming energy of the desert mountains, Civana Wellness Resort and Spa rooms and suites offer a quiet reprieve and a chance to recharge. They provide clean lines, natural materials, and spacious layouts, all with an outdoor balcony or patio. Naturally Empowered can pair travelers to looking to share rooms.

Program

Great change happens when you leave the comforts of home. Away from your day-to-day schedules, you can make space to learn, grow, and heal. Join Naturally Empowered for five days of soul-expanding sun, movement, relaxation, spa, and exploration in beautiful Carefree, Arizona.

Imagine waking up to the sun rising over the mountains to your own little piece of heaven nestled in more than 20 acres of the succulent-studded Sonoran Desert. Then, heading down to the cafe to grab your morning juice before enjoying a movement class or a guided hike.

You change into your swimsuit and relax by the pool before heading to our group workshop. Then, you set off to explore the beautiful Civana grounds before you find a cozy spot to dig into that book you've been trying to read for the last year. After a dinner in town with fellow retreaters, you can explore the vibrant Cave Creek nightlight with your new tribe.
