LIFE IS NOWRetreats
Our story

We didn’t build a retreat company.
We answered a calling.

LIFE IS NOW wasn’t created because we wanted to host events. It was born because we believe humanity is starving for something we were never meant to live without.

Connection. Real connection.

Connection with ourselves. Connection with each other. Connection with purpose. Connection with what truly matters.

We believe transformation doesn’t happen through information. It happens through shared experiences. Through truth. Through presence. Through belonging. Through coming home.

Where it all began

Our story didn’t begin in a boardroom. It began during one of the biggest transformational events in the world. In 2020, during Tony Robbins’ virtual Unleash the Power Within, thousands gathered online to transform their lives. Patrick and Kendra were two of them.

We had never met, but we found each other inside a Facebook community created for participants going through the experience together. What started as a conversation quickly became something much deeper.

Before we ever fell in love with each other… we fell in love with becoming.

Two different journeys. One shared calling.

Patrick’s journey was shaped by adversity — living in his car, more than 100 pounds overweight, battling addiction, searching for identity. Learning that real freedom doesn’t come from changing your circumstances. It comes from transforming who you are.

Kendra’s journey taught her the importance of safety, belonging, love, and creating spaces where people feel welcomed exactly as they are. She discovered that healing begins the moment someone feels seen.

The birth of LIFE IS NOW

One day it became undeniable. Our mission wasn’t to create another retreat company. Our mission was to create places where people could finally feel what so many have forgotten.

Home. Not home as a location. Home as a feeling.
