Maryam Sharifzadeh

Founder of ZaaS

I often find myself unwell, even as a wellness practitioner and the owner of a well-being company, more often than I care to admit. The stress of running a business, managing large teams with diverse personalities, and staying relevant in an unforgiving market slowly erodes my resilience. Work comes first, making my well-being an afterthought. If I’m not proactive, I burn out. Work-life balance can feel as elusive as enlightenment. Read more >>

Burnout Retreat

Candice Balluru Schaefer

I have walked the walk of burnout several times myself – as a health care provider and as a corporate professional. After so many cycles of burnout, I found myself leaning into the psychology of it all. Why does this keep happening? How is this so common but yet treating and even describing burnout can be challenging? I began reviewing the science of burnout, and also practicing new interventions at the individual and organizational levels, as both a therapist and an organizational consultant. Read more >>

How to Get There

The hill country of Texas is full of beautiful topography and fun destinations. Centrally located and within an hour of the Austin airport, Retreat Ranch is situated on 46 acres of natural beauty. It features special and sacred details to delight each guest in Marble Falls, TX.

Retreat Ranch is accessible by rental car or taxi/ride share. Before the retreat, we will provide you with the option to communicate with your fellow retreat attendees, in case you would like to share or coordinate a ride to the ranch.


Frequently Asked Questions

We provide quite a bit so you can relax! We provide firewood for the sauna, all bedding, towels (including pool towels), body wash/shampoo/conditioner, dryers, outdoor blankets, games and a fully stocked kitchen with cooking supplies and serving dishes. You will need to provide firewood for the big fire pit (we sell some on site, it is also subject to county restrictions) all your food/beverage (except coffee & tea we provide), charcoal for the grill if you plan to use it and extra ice for beverages as well as if you want to use the ice bath plunge.

At Retreat Ranch, we embrace the natural, untouched beauty of our rustic ranch setting. While we aim to provide an authentic and serene experience for all our guests, we recognize that the unique characteristics of our working ranch may present certain limitations for guests with disabilities.

Due to the nature of our retreat center, we are currently unable to accommodate service animals. Our ranch is home to free-ranging animals, and for their safety as well as that of service animals, we cannot allow any outside pets or animals on the premises.

Our facilities, including guest accommodations and communal areas, are nestled in a landscape that celebrates its rustic roots, featuring uneven grounds and stair access. Consequently, we do not have ramps or elevators, and our bathrooms are not specifically designed for accessibility.

We wish to be transparent about the challenges that individuals with certain disabilities might face at our retreat center. The entire facility is not wheelchair accessible, and individuals with mobility impairments may find it difficult to navigate the uneven terrain and stairs.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these limitations may cause. We hope that, despite these limitations, our guests can find peace and enjoyment in the natural splendor of Retreat Ranch.

No, not yet! But there is one only about 12 minutes away: https://chargehub.com/en/stations/tx/marble-falls/marble-falls.html?locId=64375

So sorry, no (and we LOVE animals of all kinds). We have free ranging animals and livestock dogs as well as natural wildlife and it is not safe for any outside pets to come on site. Unfortunately this includes service animals. No exceptions due to safety issues for all.

No! Everything is provided on site. If you have a preferred mat to practice with, you can bring it with you.

Yes! We have a private chef cooking meals for us and will accommodate specific needs. We will get everyone’s dietary restrictions and preferences before the retreat begins.

We understand that circumstances can change; however, due to the extensive planning, limited spots, and upfront costs involved in organizing this experience, we have a non-refundable cancellation policy. Participants may transfer registration to another guest or transfer their seat to another event hosted by the same facilitators. We strongly recommend that all participants purchase comprehensive travel insurance that includes trip cancellation coverage to protect against unforeseen events. In the rare event that the retreat is canceled by the organizers due to unforeseen circumstances (such as natural disasters, political instability, or other force majeure events), participants will be offered a credit toward a future retreat or a partial refund at the discretion of the organizers.
