The Offerings
Main House: Nestled within the serene embrace of Florida's Nature Coast, the main house of our wellness retreat venue stands as a beacon of tranquility amidst the lush forest setting. This sprawling sanctuary boasts over 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully curated indoor space, perfectly harmonizing with the surrounding five acres of verdant land. Upon stepping inside, guests are greeted by an atmosphere of rejuvenation and serenity, where every detail is meticulously crafted to foster a sense of well-being.
The main house itself is a testament to mindful design, seamlessly blending modern comforts with natural elements, inviting guests to unwind and reconnect with themselves and nature. Intentionally designed, each of the three guest ensuites within the main house embodies its own unique sanctuary, offering a private haven for relaxation and renewal. From the earthy tones of reclaimed wood accents to the soft hues of organic linens, every element is chosen to evoke a sense of peace and harmony. Each ensuite is a sanctuary in its own right, providing guests with a serene retreat to recharge mind, body, and soul amidst the tranquil beauty of the Florida wilderness.
Our Mission
At Full Circle Retreats, our animals aren't just residents; they're integral members of our healing community. They offer solace in their silent companionship, teach us the art of living in the present moment, and remind us of the profound interconnectedness of all beings.
As you embark on your journey of self-discovery and renewal, know that our furry and feathered friends will be by your side, offering their unconditional love and support every step of the way. Here, amidst the tranquil embrace of nature and the gentle presence of our animal companions, healing takes flight, and the circle of life finds its fullest expression.
Among the whispering pine trees, you'll find the heartbeats of our sanctuary: two off the track Thoroughbred rescue horses, four gentle goats, eight lively chickens, two quacking ducks, and three precious dogs.
Quayside aka "Quay" (right) is a striking 14-year-old chestnut mare with a muscular build and a big personality. Her spirited nature makes her a joy to be around, and guests will love the chance to bond with her through grooming and care.
Marabunta aka "Bunta" (left), a 21-year-old bay mare with a history of foaling valuable horses, has a softer, nurturing side. Despite enduring trauma from an incident with a stallion, she became a calm "babysitter" to new moms and foals. Now, she enjoys a peaceful life at the retreat, offering her gentle presence to guests.
Both mares are given a second chance to live in relaxation and love, making them cherished members of the retreat’s healing atmosphere.

The Owners
Founded in 2023, Full Circle Retreats emerged from the transformative journeys of creators Christina Baker and Kim Kyler, who found themselves at two unique professional crossroads.
Having established a thriving distribution company in Clearwater, Florida, Christina experienced a profound realization that the once-beloved business no longer ignited her inner passion. Kim had reached the peak of her sales career in commercial printing and wanted to offer a place of healing and connection. Determined to rediscover their truest and highest selves, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery, consulting with intuitive healers, immersing deep into literature, and seeking solace in solitude and nature.
Through this introspective process, Christina and Kim unearthed their innate talents as space creators and holders. Informed by their firsthand understanding of corporate burnout, the vision for Full Circle Retreats materialized. Their joint aspiration was to craft a serene haven nestled in nature—a refuge intuitively designed for guests to unwind, rejuvenate, and reconnect with their authentic selves. Relaxation retreat and Intentional retreat space.
