Beach, Bliss & Bites with Mandy & Petra

A Seasonal Wellness Gathering on the Beach in Carpinteria, CA on August 9th, 2026

Reconnect. Nourish. Breathe.

Hi, I’m Mandy (The Modern Nurse), and I’d love for you to join me and my dear friend and incredible chef Petra for Beach, Bliss & Bites—a soulful gathering designed to reconnect you with your body, breath, the earth beneath you, and a beautiful community around you.

We host this event a few times throughout the year when the vibe feels right: gorgeous weather, golden light, and good people. Each one is unique, but the intention is always the same: healing, connection, nourishment, and joy.

Guided Movement & Empowerment

I lead a gentle yet powerful session right on the sand, blending yoga, nervous system grounding practices, intuitive movement, and breathwork to help you release, reset, and feel truly rooted. Whether it’s your first time doing yoga or your hundredth, you're welcome here.

Expect light healing touch, breath-led meditation, and a safe space to just be. These sessions are designed to support all bodies, all levels, and all experiences.

Farm-to-Table Nourishment with PetrA

After movement, we gather together for a nourishing, seasonal meal lovingly prepared by Petra Flor, a holistic chef from Brazil who brings as much care to her food as I do to my healing work.

The meal is organic, locally sourced, and deeply intentional — designed to replenish your body and elevate your spirit. We eat together, reflect, laugh, and soak in the sunset.

Why We Do This?

Because connection is medicine.
Because our nervous systems crave peace.
Because community is healing.
Because your wellness is worth prioritizing.

We believe everyone deserves access to safe, soulful spaces for healing, and this beach is one of them.
