About Orenda
Orenda is built on the foundations of integrity and intention. Our program has been curated using our connections and experience, and all of our holistic healing retreats and seminars have been hand-picked to help you unlock potential and achieve balance.
We are building a community to support your growth, learning, and empowerment. We pride ourselves on having personal and professional relationships with all of the coaches and practitioners on our site. We will never recommend a course or holistic healing retreat if we don’t 100% believe in its power ourselves.
Our range of international wellness resorts, holistic healing retreats, and practical courses is designed to facilitate growth in every area of your life.
We have partnered with experts in health, wellness, fitness, finance, career development, nutrition, mental health, relationship-building, and self-care, to name just a few. We also work with people all around the world of all genders, ages, and backgrounds.
Whether you’re a high-powered exec needing a timeout from the rat race, a parent wanting to connect more spiritually with your child, an entrepreneur interested in creating a holistically healthy work environment, or just an everyday amazing Joe or Jane looking for balance and purpose, we have experiences, courses, and retreats designed to perfectly fit your needs. We also offer incredible cultural and volunteer experiences that have been created to enrich lives and foster meaningful global connections.

About Heidi
ORENDA:
(n): A MYSTICAL FORCE PRESENT IN ALL PEOPLE THAT EMPOWERS THEM TO AFFECT THE WORLD OR TO AFFECT CHANGE IN THEIR OWN LIVES.
I stumbled upon the word “Orenda” many moons ago and wrote it down. I liked the way it sounded (beautiful, mystical, and powerful). And it made me contemplate the world and every individual in it with a little bit of awe. For unknown reasons at the time, the word stuck with me. I mean, literally stuck with me – on a piece of paper attached to a folder – for nearly 14 years.
Each time I saw the note, it reminded me that I have the spirit inside me to create my best, most authentic self – AND that I have the power to create incredible change in the world. We all do! Each of us!
When I think of Orenda, I think of all of the wonderful experiences I have been so fortunate to have had: from building schools in Africa to wine-touring in Argentina to meditating in Bali. From growing up in the tiniest of Midwest towns, to traveling the world. From being sassily single to becoming an indie mom. From being financially destitute to having financial abundance. From being on the brink of a nervous breakdown to celebrating my joyous life.
Everything I’ve done in this one wild and precious life is because of my Orenda. Tapping into it makes me feel the most whole, complete and healthy. And my hope is that in some small way, I can help you tap into your Orenda as well.
My personal perspective on achieving wellness is that it requires us to address all of the elements in our lives. We each have our own goals. While some people may wish to focus on financial and career development, others lean toward emotional and physical health. For me, it’s about balance. In every aspect. Creating the perfect blend of spiritual, financial, relationship, mental, emotional, and physical wellness. That unique mix that makes you the most authentic you, you can be. That’s the key to true wellness.
With Orenda, I am building a cohesive environment to try to push the unique and wonderful people in my Orenda community towards enacting change in whichever way speaks to them. I aspire to create a space that facilitates empowered, authentic living and purposeful and impactful growth.
Thank you so much for being here.
