AND SOUL DISCOVERY
Nurturing Comfort and Joy In the Deep Quiet of the Winter Solstice
Retreat in the Southern Sierra’s of California December 15th – 18th, 2023
In today’s daily chaos, do you find it hard to find your inner sparkle?
Do you desire the comfort from a place to pause and connect your spirit with the universal energies?
Join us for 4 days on 500 acres in the Southern Sierras of California for a retreat of discovery, alignment, and soul nourishment. Immerse yourself in this rustic forest setting and spend time connecting with your power and authentic self, while celebrating the energy of season with your community of like minded women.
Experience 4 days of winter energy connection, yoga, sound healing, crystal therapy, guided meditation and journaling. You will feel nourished as you practice self love through farm to table gourmet meals, massage, and forest bathing (hiking). Discover support from a sisterhood while you celebrate through group rituals, bonfires, and sacred movement.
By the end of this retreat, you will have a deep connection to yourself and nature, knowing how to hear the messages of your soul, so you can create a meaningful life around what brings you true comfort, joy and peace4
"Deep contemplation, gratitude, and the process of letting go will rebalance your spirit and being"
You will leave with a renewed sense of self...
Step inside from the sparkling crisp mountain air, the scent of pine and wood-smoke still on your clothes after an invigorating hike, as you are enveloped by the sense of warmth and familiarity of coming home to your tribe. The wood burning stove gently thaws your fingers and the comfort of self connection warms your heart.
You settle down with a hot mug of cocoa in your hands, as you prepare to journal through the discoveries of the day. You feel a peaceful anticipation of the comforting massage that you will soon be indulging in, knowing you are fully listening to and loving every part of your self.
After a culinary masterpiece of a dinner and shared laughs by candlelight, you move to a sacred space. One of reflection, ceremony, and a feeling of time out of time. As you close your eyes to listen to your soul more closely, you know you are part of the whole that is so much bigger then you could ever imagine.
Do you have a hard time quieting your overactive brain each day?
Guided Meditation and Journal Reflection
Explore different ways to balance and aligned your energy to get back in touch with your intuition. Start the morning off with a group guided meditation in a healing space. You will learn ways to continue your mindfulness practice after the retreat and create for yourself a way to listen to your heart.
Following that we will have time to journal introspection on questions that will build into ways of experiencing joy within. Your journal, that you will take home, will provide you with a way to look back on you healing journey as well as continue your discoveries throughout the upcoming months.
Do you desire dedicate time to deeply experience everything around you down to your core?
Integrate
Feel the peacefulness of you being shine through, as you take each afternoon to rest, get a massage, hike, or just let everything that you have been learning sink in. This is time for you and if you are in need of rest let this be freedom from doing and be one of letting your each of your senses take in all that is around you. Free time to explore the discoveries about yourself
“We wander in the winter woods to live a quiet dream” – Angie Weiland-Crosby
Does your heart's guidance feel stuck and closed to possibilities?
Cacao Ceremony
At the beginning of this adventure we will share a simple cacao ceremony to open your heart to the transformations that will happen throughout the week.
By setting an intention of love and trust of self at the start, you prepare to make lasting changes of how you listen your own heart each day.
Tired of the go, go, go of life and long for quiet, peace, and space for contemplation?
Connect with Nature
Breathe in the renewing brisk, clean air as you immerse yourself in a Forest Bath, the intentional time of walking into nature to allow the energetic connection to heal you. What better time then in winter’s quiet, to let it all permeate your soul. You will be able to allow an awakening of all your senses.
The clear dark night sky enables you to see into the expansive universe as you feel yourself a part of all that ever was and the unlimited possibilities of the future.
“We often forget that we ARE nature. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we have lost our connection to ourselves.” – Andy Goldsworthy
Does your body need nurturing and attention?
Daily Yoga and Sacred Movement
Moving our bodies is what gets us out of our spiral thinking and moves us listen to what is true for our souls. Gentle yoga each day will prepare your body for knowing the magic that you posses. We will also be letting loose of all those societal expectations and judgments, to really release the body through dance and letting you body tell you what to do instead of worrying if you are “doing it right”.
Have you ever felt empty from the lack of companionship that comes from letting other people share in your struggles and celebrations?
Sacred Sharing Circle
Each night feel the safety and support as we take time together as a tribe to share and celebrate. From an advent reflection spiral to a simple emotional release through dance, we will join each other’s joy and awakening.
Unlock the magic within you
Winter is a time of inner exploration. You will be uncovering and finding comfort from the beauty within. Throughout your time here we will be working with tools that will reconnect you to yourself, learning about how to create joy in your life by being the best you. Explore the connection that you will find by quieting the thoughts in your head and listening to what the season and nature are telling you about YOU!
