Detach with Dork
The Return| April 10–16, 2027
Come home to yourself on the island that started it all.
Welcome to Detach with Dork Retreat 11
This is the 11th Detach With Dork retreat.
And if you’ve been here before, you already know, this space isn’t something you attend once and move on from. It’s something people return to.
Over the years, this retreat has held people through grief, transition, clarity, and becoming. It has witnessed endings, new beginnings, and the quiet moments in between where things start to make sense again.
I didn’t plan to bring this retreat back.
But being on the island again reminded me that some spaces aren’t meant to be closed. They evolve. They meet you where you are.
And this year, we return with a deeper focus.
Welcome to Gili Air
Gili Air is not just a destination. It’s part of the experience.
It’s a small, car-free island where everything slows down. You walk or bike everywhere. The mornings are quiet. The sunsets stretch wide across the ocean. And the space around you feels open in a way that’s hard to find anywhere else.
There’s a certain stillness here.
Not the kind that feels empty but the kind that allows you to hear yourself more clearly.
Over the years, this island has held so many of us through moments of release, clarity, and return. It has a way of meeting you exactly where you are, without forcing anything.
And that’s what makes this experience different.
The Focus: Returning to Yourself
This year, our work centers around one core pattern: self-abandonment.
The ways we silence ourselves. The ways we overextend. The ways we choose being accepted over being honest.
For many of us, this didn’t start as a flaw. It started as a strategy. A way to stay connected. A way to feel safe. A way to be loved.
This is where the shame shadow lives.
Not as something to fix but something to understand.
Because once you can see it clearly, you can begin to shift it.
What This Retreat Is
This is not an escape. You are not coming here to avoid your life. You are coming here to reconnect with yourself in a way that feels honest and sustainable.
Throughout the week, we’ll work through:
the patterns that keep you overgiving and depleted
the moments where you override your own needs
the tension between who you are and who you’ve learned to be
We do this through movement, reflection, group work, and real conversations, not surface-level ideas, but work you can actually take back with you.
There is no version of you that needs to be performed here. You get to arrive as you are.

Memories That Live Forever
Over the years, this island has held so much.
Grief, laughter, release, clarity, and transformation.
It has witnessed people come undone and find themselves again.
And somehow, it continues to call us back.
Come detach to remember. Come home to yourself.
