This retreat offers the gift of silence, providing a nurturing and healing environment where you can disconnect from the external world and tune into your inner world.
During this transformative silent retreat, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. The setting of the Serra Retreat Grounds, nestled in the private backroads of the Santa Monica mountains, provides an ideal environment for restoration and transformation, allowing you the opportunity to experience peace and relaxation.
In addition to the gift of silence, through various healing modalities, like somatic breathwork, energy, sound healing, and guided meditations, we will facilitate a journey of deep self-reflection and healing.
We will help you release energetic blockages or tension you may be holding onto while also guiding you through a restorative process that will help you restore your natural balance.
You will be immersed in the healing vibrations of Tibetan sound bowls. These sounds will create a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience, allowing you to fully let go and surrender to the present moment.
Wouldn’t it be great to release the tension from your mind and body?
Are you ready to slow down and experience a calm that may be impossible in your home and workplace?
Can you imagine the freedom of full silence, where technology is turned off, no one is expecting anything from you and you are allowed to rest without interruption?
Feel the satisfaction of being validated, in control, and confident in all parts of your life, not just work.
Imagine the immense relief as you let go of the resentfulness and anger that you’ve been holding from situations that didn’t work out.
Accept a new freedom as you silence your inner critic and trust people, and know that everything is working out perfectly.

Christine Grimm
I have spent my life learning to be a powerful woman in a crazy, upside-down world. The easy part was 26 years of coaching corporate leaders and aligning global teams. The hard part was learning how to be a strong woman, a role model for my children, a connected sister, an unconditionally loving partner, and a true heroine. I’m still working on the latter.
My coaching for AVVI is designed to help you find a balance in how you live, moving away from an imbalanced masculine approach to life and work and creating a path that is fulfilling, inflow, and joyful - without the need to wear “armor” and control everything.
I’ve spent the last 8 years studying Archetypes, the Heroine’s Journey, and Breathwork, along with Ho’oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian forgiveness and reconciliation practice. These immensely powerful tools, integrated with the models, concepts, and materials I designed and used in my corporate executive coaching, provide a solid foundation for me to meet you where you are and help guide you to feel whole, authentic, and in your full power.

After two decades wholly immersed in the corporate world (can you say ‘workaholic’?), I exited the executive rat race and my impressive career in corporate tech and engineering to take a break. I had find balance in my left-brain dominated life. I was ready for change. I parachuted into a world where I could invite my right-brain in; it hadn't been completely obsolete over the previous 20 years - just waiting to be engaged to its fullest.
Over the past seven years, I have reached back to my Indian heritage & upbringing to explore the intuitive and healing arts. I’ve become fluent in modalities such as energy work, Reiki, meditation, and the art of silence, and recently sound and tonal healing. Now as a coach, I blend my passion for healing modalities and business savvy which allows 100% of my brain to show up in each encounter.
