Why Camp Yūgen

At Camp Yūgen, we believe healing and joy are deeply connected, and true transformation happens when we create intentional space for pleasure, play, and authentic connection. In a world that often emphasizes struggle, we offer a fresh perspective—healing doesn’t have to be heavy.

Instead, it can be a light, joyful experience rooted in rediscovering your inner spark.

Our camp brings women together in a nurturing community where support, empathy, and meaningful connections naturally flow, empowering each person to thrive.

Central to Camp Yūgen is reconnecting with your inner child—the part of you that knows how to create, explore, and embrace the simple pleasures of life.

Through creative projects, cultural experiences, and the beauty of nature, we invite you to rediscover the joy and wonder that may have been buried beneath the demands of everyday life.

Whether you’re laughing around a bonfire, exploring the countryside, or diving into hands-on adventures, this space is designed to melt away stress and help you lean into your own joy.

We also recognize the power of community in healing.

At Camp Yūgen, you’ll find a space where your experiences and stories are met with compassion and understanding. Surrounded by like-minded women, you’ll be part of a community that celebrates, uplifts, and supports one another.

Our commitment to inclusivity ensures that women from all backgrounds, cultures, and identities feel welcomed and valued, fostering authentic connections that make healing an act of joy and empowerment.

Together, we create an environment where healing becomes an adventure—one filled with fun, creativity, and the deep satisfaction of reconnecting with the playful, joyful parts of yourself in a space designed to honor your unique journey.

Meet your facilitators…

Hi!! We’re Gabby and Diane!

If you’re new here, we have been helping people heal and step into their happiest selves for almost a decade through inner child work, nervous system regulation and subconscious reprogramming.

We first met in Los Angeles in 2019, where we connected over our shared desire to help people rediscover the magic and wonder of their lives.

As mental health professionals, we believe that this is just as important as doing the hard, heavy work when it comes to creating a life that feels incredible and full of purpose. Learning how to tap into your inner child by exploring new frontiers, having silly fun and simply allowing yourself to rest — along with finding a community of likeminded souls to do it with — can be the key to getting there… and we can’t wait to lead you through it!

We’ve traveled all over the world and know that getting out of your day-to-day routine, immersing yourself in new places, and having once-in-a-lifetime adventures can completely change the way you feel about yourself and your life. If you’re feeling the itch to do something totally new and different, then you’re in the right place.

Life is short and we only get this one shot, so let’s make the most out of it!!

Are we connected on social media?! We’d love to get to know you!
