CESAR BALESTRINI
Opening sacred circle, we gather to honor the land's ancestors, the sacred elements, four directions and all aspect of nature.
We create a space where the energies of the universe freely flow, guiding our journey within. With gratitude, we embrace the wisdom of the past, the essence of the present, and the infinite possibilities of the future.

Cosmic Mother Wound Healing Ceremony
In this transformative experience, we begin by honoring the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship through expressive art. Unearth the layers of emotion, joy, and pain as you create a visual representation of your mother daughter relationship.
We will move into a guided meditation, where together we will reclaim the fragments of yourself scattered across lifetimes, retrieving the essence of your power. Then, in pairs, we will embrace the potent practice of support and vulnerability by sitting back-to-back to cultivate a sacred space for connection and rewiring any wounded narratives.
The session ends with returning to your artwork, viewing it with fresh eyes that reflect newfound self-discovery. "Cosmic Mother Wound Healing" promises a sacred space for rejuvenation, self-reflection, and the cultivation of profound connections. Join us on this empowering journey to exploring the mother wound and create a masterpiece of healing.

Dr. Monika Herwig
Yoga Nidra
Come to this session to enjoy yourself and connect with your incredible retreat sisters!
This yoga session will be embodying, easeful and restorative in nature. It will support you for where we are in the flow of the retreat … moving towards our closing circle.
This session is an introduction to a type of deeply feminine and nurturing restorative yoga that is very healing for women’s bodies, energy, mind and hormones (I AM Amrit Yoga).
It is gentle, meditative, connecting and integrative. This type of yoga supports us to come home to the all of ourselves, our presence and our true nature of love, joy and well-being.
It has some similarities to yin yoga - ie. slower with less poses and longer holds. There will be a mix of both individual and simple partner assisted yoga where you pair up with a friend or retreat sister.
We will complete with a powerful practice to move forward in our lives with.
Vibe: loving, warm, healing, fun.
No previous yoga experience is necessary to participate!

Sparkle // Energetic Pelvic Bowl Clearing + Intuition Reclamation
Many women struggle because they feel empty and don't know what to do to resolve it. Nothing they try seems to fill them up. The reason it doesn't work? Many of these women are actually *too full* and have numbed out due to the sensation of overwhelm that comes from holding too much all at once. Too much responsibility, thinking, pushing, forcing, too much striving, effort, planning, working, too much feeling, creating, generating, rushing. Too much performing, pleasing, pretending, neglect of self.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Join me for SPARKLE, where you will learn a simple yet powerful energetic technique that you can use every day, for clearing and harmonizing energy, integrating trauma, and grounding and balancing your system. For the care, maintenance, and protection of your feminine rage in a world built for men.

Bethany Godreau
Movement Beyond Illusion
In this session, you will be guided through meditation, yoga practice, and breathwork as a way of reconnecting to a truer sense of self. We tell ourselves stories every day. Stories of who we are in the context of our work, home, and social lives. In a world where we shapeshift daily between these realities, how do we begin to understand our true selves?
By exploring shapes in the body, we expand our self of possibility on a gross scale. The combination of meditation and movement transmutes this expansion from the external to the internal sphere. In this session, we will use the physical body to drop us into the present moment, a space from which the mind can unravel the meaning of these stories.

Samantha Dover
Finding Meaning After Grief and Loss
In the face of loss, many of us have been advised to simply "pull up our bootstraps" and be strong, or to keep busy and give it time. These well-intentioned suggestions, however, often leave us ill-equipped to effectively address the losses in our lives. Consequently, when waves of grief emerge, we may find ourselves seeking solitude in the shower or drowning out our emotions with the radio. The challenge lies in the fact that our brains and nervous systems are not designed to heal in isolation. Unresolved grief can impede our journey to self-discovery, preventing us from attuning to our most authentic selves.
​
Join Samantha Dover, M.C. (Registered Psychologist), for a transformative session dedicated to dispelling the myths surrounding grief. Together, we will embrace and hold space for the complex emotions that grief brings forth. Anticipate moments of laughter, tears, and profound insight as you gain a new perspective on your story. Depart with a fresh toolkit of strategies to compassionately hold space for yourself during the intricate process of healing.
