The Clearing:

A Rest & Reset Retreat

Hosted at NAMAN RETREAT & BEACH RESORT

ABOUT THE RETREAT

This isn't a typical retreat. There's no packed schedule, no pressure to arrive with a goal, no expectation that you'll leave transformed in some prescribed way.

What The Clearing offers is something most of us rarely experience: genuinely held, unstructured time — in an environment designed to support your nervous system, not stimulate it further.

Set against the ocean, mountains, and quiet cafés of Da Nang, Vietnam, this five-night retreat is designed for people who are accustomed to carrying a lot. People who are good at functioning. People who haven't had real stillness in a long time.

You will have room to think. Room to breathe. Room to notice what's been underneath the noise. And when you're ready, guided reflection sessions and small-group conversation to help you integrate what surfaces.

Da Nang offers something rare: affordable luxury, natural beauty, and a slower pace of life that becomes part of the experience itself. The culture, the coffee, the coastline — they're not backdrop. They're medicine.

You Need More Than a Vacation | The Clearing Rest & Reset Retreat Da Nang, Vietnam 2027

A gentle pause from the pace of everyday life. The Clearing in Da Nang is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself—through guided experiences, restorative space, and time to simply be.

Rest & Reset

Together, we pause to consider our goals, hopes, and direction. This is about aligning with ourselves and with the journey ahead. This is a chance to reconnect with what brought you here—your questions, your hopes, your turning points—and consider how they’ve shifted or deepened.

WHO IS THIS FOR

You carry a lot. This is for you.

  • You feel mentally "on" most of the time — even when you're technically off. Rest doesn't come easily, and you're not entirely sure when it did.

  • You carry responsibility for others — professionally, personally, or both — and you're skilled at it. What you're less skilled at is putting it down.

  • You haven't had real space in a while. Not "a weekend off" space. Real, uninterrupted, quiet space where nothing is required of you.

  • You're not in crisis. You're not broken. You're just overdue for a genuine reset — and you're ready to invest in one intentionally.

  • You're curious about Vietnam — the culture, the pace, the beauty — and the idea of doing something meaningful while experiencing it feels right.

  • You want to be in a small group — not a crowd. You value depth over activity, and presence over performance.


This retreat is not psychotherapy and does not replace mental health care or treatment.

Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.

Each day has rhythm without rigidity. There is structure enough to feel held, and space enough to feel free. This schedule is a guide — not a contract

The people holding the space.

A licensed mental health professional serving clients navigating the weight of high-functioning life, Doc brings warmth, clarity, and clinical grounding to everything she creates. Having spent years helping others find their footing, she designed The Clearing as the kind of experience she wishes more people had access to — one built not on doing, but on being.
Having spent meaningful time living in Da Nang, she brings more than a curated itinerary to this experience — she brings genuine familiarity with the rhythms, the culture, and the hidden corners of a city that rewards those who slow down enough to notice it. The Clearing was not planned from a distance. It was built from the inside out, by someone who has walked these streets, sat in these coffee shops, and felt firsthand what this place does to a nervous system that finally has permission to rest.

Tonya is an author, health and wellness professional, and financial literacy advocate whose approach to well-being is grounded, practical, and deeply human. She believes that an active, healthier life is achievable for everyone — and her gift is helping people find the version of movement that actually works for their body and life.
Each morning of The Clearing, Tonya will guide guests through gentle beach stretching — not a workout, not a performance, but a quiet, embodied way to begin the day. She meets people where they are, without judgment and without pressure.

Six spots.
This is yours to claim.

There are six spots in each week of The Clearing. You may select April 16 - 21, or April 23 - 28, 2027. That's not a marketing tactic — it's the actual number that makes this experience what it is. Small enough that you're known. Small enough that the group becomes something real.

The next step isn't filling out a long form — it's a short conversation. Not an interview, not a pitch. Just a chance to talk through what you're looking for and confirm this retreat is genuinely a good fit for where you are right now.

If it is, we'll walk through the next steps together — including your deposit and payment plan. If it isn't, I'll be honest with you about it.

Use the form to share a little about yourself and what's drawing you here. I'll be in touch within 48 hours to schedule a call.

Your information is kept private and will only be used to follow up with you about this retreat. You will not be added to any mailing list without permission.
