GROUND- A 4-Nights Spring Reset for Reflection & Realignment
As the year begins to turn inward, this retreat offers a sacred pause, a chance to slow down, release, and return home to yourself.
The Ground retreat focuses on rest, deep listening, and integration. It’s an invitation to harvest the lessons of the year and realign with what truly matters.
Expect
– Yoga and somatic movement for balance and ease
– Meditation, journaling, and reflective circles for insight and release
– Conscious breathwork sessions – including Conscious Connected Breath- and deep relaxation sessions
– Delicious plant-based meals that nourish body and spirit.
You’ll return home deeply centred, rooted, peaceful, and ready to move through the darker months with a smile.
Who is This For?
This weekend retreat is for women who feel called to go beyond the surface, to deepen their practice, expand their awareness, and reconnect with their true vitality.
It’s for you if you’re ready to:
• Reclaim your energy and embody balance through intelligent movement and stillness
• Deepen your relationship with your body’s innate wisdom and healing capacity
• Release layers of stress, fatigue, or emotional residue that no longer serve you
• Explore Breathwork as a powerful new tool for inner transformation and nervous system balance
• Engage in authentic self-inquiry, meditation, and conscious connection with like-minded women walking a similar path.
This is an invitation for experienced practitioners, women who already know the value of presence and are ready to explore what lies beyond effort, into the art of truly being.
