  • “On a whim I took a chance on a Instagram ad to join an obsidian retreat in June 2023 and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was desperately searching for connection and community and found that and more. I cannot ever thank Jaclyn and Jade for all the care and time they have put in to obsidian to create such a beautiful safe welcoming spaces, creating new experiences with every retreat! I have met some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever known who I consider family now from being a part of their retreats. Words cannot describe my thankfulness enough for the space and support they have created. ”

  • “You can trust these women with your heart, soul, thoughts and emotions… Give them your time and genuine presence, and what you’ll get back will be immeasurable. The will show you ways to grow and lear that you may not have realized you needed. “
    -Matt, Untamed

  • “I would highly recommend Obsidian Retreats. Whether you’re trying to find balance in your life, start some new routines, get back on track with previous routines or even just meet new people, this retreat satisfied it all. Jaclyn and Jade put so much thought and intention into these trips and you can feel it in every aspect - from the nourishing meals, to the breathtaking setting, to the specifically curated agenda of wellness, rest and relaxation. Not only did I come away feeling more relaxed and healthy, but I also found a group of wonderful likeminded women that I know will be lifelong friends. If you’ve ever been considering a wellness retreat, or maybe you never have and just need to try something new, I highly recommend that you try Obsidian.”
    -Stefanie, Rest & Restore

  • “The Divine Feminine Retreat was nothing short of magical! Jaclyn and Tori were dream facilitators and planned each moment with an abundance of love and intention. I’m not a skilled yogi by any stretch or the imagination but I never felt out of place or pressured to do anything my body couldn’t handle. That said, with the nourishing food and heart opening workshops, I learned that I am much stronger than I believed and can’t wait to take my new found energy into my daily life. Obsidian Retreats are truly one of a kind and life changing, don’t hesitate to book if you get the chance! I wish I could freeze time and exist within the amazing bubble Jaclyn and Tori created, but I’m so so grateful to have experienced such a life changing (and truly life saving in my case) weekend with such beautiful souls.”
    -Elaine, Divine Fem

  • “If you’re considering a retreat with Jaclyn and/or Tori, stop everything and SAY YES. You’ll leave that time with happy memories, a sense of nourishments, great belly laughs and a real feeling of harmony, amongst this tipsy-topsy chaotic world. I joined Jaclyn and Tori for a weekend retreat and they were incredibly loving, gracious hosts who fostered a space safe for a group of us 8 solo gals. Thank you for a memorable experience and I can genuinely count new sisters in my midst. So much love- thank you!”
    -Candy, Divine Fem

  • “This retreat was absolute perfection. Incredible. My heart is now open and I can feel everything / see everything and acknowledge things in myself that I couldn’t before. The awareness I received is unmatched. The absolute best facilitators. They were patient, strong, loving, and welcoming. Could not have asked or been blessed with a better trio. You ladies together are pure love and magic.”

    -Kat, Untamed

  • “So much thought and intention went into this retreat. It was transformational, life changing! I will always keep this experience close to heart ❤️ The facilitators are amazing, beautiful, mermaid princess, goddess witches. How will I ever go on another vacation without these 3 beautiful souls guiding me to be a better version of myself?? Obsidian for President!!”

Co-founders

Jaclyn Ghannoum

Jaclyn started her movement journey as a competitive dancer and shifted into the much kinder space of yoga. After a few years of her own practice she decided to undergo her first teacher training of 200 hours in Goa, India. Since then she has continued her education in the movement space, adding different modalities like Hot/Cold Exposure, Pilates, Reformer, Mediation, Breath-work, Aerial Yoga and more. Jaclyn's deep passions are creating a safe container for people to go through transformative experiences to heal themselves from the inside out, and building community.

Jade Montana

Jade has over 7 years of experience in the promotion of fitness, wellness and spiritual development. She entered the fitness industry at 19 years of age, as a strength and conditioning coach for athletes. As she developed her knowledge, she realized the importance of not just a strong body, but a strong mind. She then dove into the world of self-development practices with emphasis on reconditioning the brain.

To further her infatuation with all things movement, she completed 250 hours of YTT training in Costa Rica and with over 1000 teaching hours she has been sharing her practices internationally. As a result of Yoga, she transitioned into a more spiritual lifestyle and found her passion with music therapy and moved her life to Bali to deepen her spiritual practices. Jade teaches others how to harmonize the mind, body and soul allowing for a more energetically aligned life.
