A: Golden Horizons is our most immersive membership tier, limited to just 1,000 members. It’s designed for those who don’t just seek calm, but choose to live it, shape it, and share it. This tier is for people who want full access to everything Explore & Chill offers—along with retreat experiences and monthly physical wellness boxes.

A: Golden Horizons members enjoy:

All Clear Mist, Partly Cloudy, and Settled Skies benefits.

Access to every format we create: long-form videos, alternate editions, AI visuals, immersive soundscapes, and more.

Priority booking on all livestreams, workshops, geocache activities, and any new experiences we launch.

Full participation in community polls and decision-making.

A: Unlike lower tiers, where boxes are quarterly, Golden Horizons members receive a Wellness Box every month. These boxes are larger, curated collections that may include:

Custom aromatherapy blends.

Tactile self-care tools.

Mindfulness aids like journaling materials or affirmation cards.

Creative challenges (e.g., puzzles, small craft kits, or skills to try).

Seasonal surprises and 3D-printed wellness objects.

The aim is to help turn intention into habit, making self-care something that’s built into your month rather than set aside “when there’s time.”

A: Golden Horizons members receive:

Annual retreat access: 3 days and 2 serene nights at our private dark-sky hideaway.

Additional retreat access at cost: when space is available.

Loyalty rewards: each renewal adds 1 extra free night, up to a maximum of 5 additional nights.

For full details on how retreats work—including cottage exclusivity, amenities, food options, and booking—please see our Retreat Access FAQs.
