Join Our Community
Welcome to Becoming Bohemian Retreats
Becoming Bohemian Retreats was founded by Shelly Eilrich to create a getaway for growth and healing where individuals can explore the great outdoors, dive deep into their inner soul, and find support through personal connections and community. With our retreats, people are invited to transform into the truest version of themselves. This might be just the subtle nudge you need to try something new or change a belief that no longer serves your highest good. We believe everyone has the ability to live authentically. The answers lie within you, let us help you uncover them.
Our process is very organic and we allow inspiration to lead the way. Each retreat has its own theme and soon takes on its own unique voice and feel along the way. Every detail starting with location, to activities, to facilitators, to the food you will be served, will support your experience. Please trust that if one of our offerings caused a response within you, it might be the one you need to attend. We believe there is no one way to heal and our goal is to offer different paths for you to explore.
Our goal is to make retreats and this type of personal inner work available to everyone. We offer scholarships and discounts to those that apply. Please contact us if the only thing holding you back from joining us is your current finances.
Your Spiritual Guide
Shelly Eilrich is originally from Kansas. She spent 12 years in South Carolina, where she began to embrace a nomadic lifestyle. Growing up she loved to explore the outdoors, had a vivid imagination, wrote poetry and created art. In her teens she started to shy away from the unconventional and creative life that was at the core of who she was. Searching for acceptance from society and lacking the confidence in her own uniqueness, she conformed and dimmed her light. During this time she was able to spend 7 weeks in France for a summer and returned to backpack across Europe for 3 months by herself. Her courageous spirit and curiosity helped her to return to the girl she was always meant to be. Since 2008she has been on an intense personal journey of self discovery, spiritual awakening, and connection.
During this time, she created and implemented a women’s empowerment group that fostered a safe environment for women to come together and connect. It was during that time she facilitated her first retreat. It was after attending a personal retreat herself in 2017, that she was guided to move into her true purpose. She launched Becoming Bohemian Retreats in 2018 and is now hosting sacred spaces across the United States and the World.
What We Aim To Do
Create and hold space where individuals feel completely authentic, accepted, and supported to explore themselves and the world they live in. Our hope is to create an awakening or shift within individuals emotionally, physically, or spiritually. We plant the seed and you will be given tools to take home and continue your growth.
How We Initiate This
We host weekend long retreats as well as day workshops across the United States and Internationally. We invite Mother Earth to attend and play a big part in each retreat. Our offerings are built around different locations to explore including mountains, woods, and waterfalls. Lodging is always unique to each space we create and varies from retreat centers, personal homes, yurts, cabins, or campgrounds. Community is always at the core with dorm style accommodations and single and double occupancy rooms when available. Activities can range from yoga & mediation to hiking and creating. We bring all the supplies needed for the weekend including food and you are responsible for bringing an open mind and a willing heart.
Who Is Invited
YOU……yes…..YOU! Our retreats are meant to meet you where you’re currently at. So regardless if you are new to exploring or reawakening your soul or if you have always been on your path of personal expression and enlightenment, you will find value in our retreats and workshops. You might learn a new healing modality, see a place you have never been, push yourself in ways never imagined or make a lasting friendship. The choice is yours what you bring and what you leave with once the weekend is complete. So if you are reading this, trust that the universe has lead you here and you are ready to join us.
Opportunities to Create Together
Collaboration
Our goal is to support local wherever we go. If you have a desire to bring your talents to a retreat setting or have wanted to facilitate but did not know where to begin, this is your invitation.
If you are a yoga teacher, artist, musician, chef, healer, photographer, or creative being we want you to be part of our tribe! We like to pair up with local facilitators and network along the way.
Customized Retreats
We have the ability to design specialized topics, activities, or locations based on the needs of our community. We offer Corporate retreat planning, personal weekend getaways for you and some friends, and hands on assistance with partnering you with local healers in your area.
Our goal is to support your process and vision in whatever area you may need. We can develop retreats based on a theme you give us, a location you want, or a goal you have in mind. You can choose from various levels of support along the way. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing your vision come to life.
