Day 1 

 

4:30 pm: Check-In Starts 
7:00 pm-8:00 pm: Late Dinner and Welcome

Curated Experiences With You In Mind 

New Year Releasing Fire Ceremony
Bring in the New Year with a releasing fire ceremony under the stars. In this circle of healing, take the opportunity to release the things that no longer serve you and create space to welcome in the new.

Embodiment Workshop
Embodiment is a term used to describe the mind and body connection. During this workshop, you will use your body as a tool for healing through self-awareness, mindfulness, connection, self-regulation, finding balance, and creating self-acceptance.

We will begin to create a somatic declaration to live into for the new year. Unlike new year's resolutions or mantras which we may quickly forget, a somatic declaration is a commitment to embodying who we aspire to be, with steps to take along the way to hold yourself accountable.. 

Nature Bathing Workshop
Known in Japan as Shinrin-Yoku, nature bathing is the process of immersing ourselves in nature to reach a state of relaxation. Nature bathing is a proven way to de-stress and boost health and well-being in a natural way.

Tapping into Your Inner Goddess Workshop
Gain a deeper understanding of who you are and how to honor your needs, wants, and desires as you move throughout life.

Free Time To Explore
You are worthy and deserving of rest. This retreat offers open time for intentional R&R (rest and relaxation). We want you to have time to enjoy the beach, wander the nearby forest, or find a shaded tree to take a nap.
