Cultivate Deep Rest and Inner Resilience
Join us for a transformative retreat designed to support you in navigating anxiety and reconnecting with your natural sense of calm. Through the healing power of sound medicine, iRest Yoga Nidra, and a variety of mindful and body-based practices, you’ll gently release inner tension and restore a felt sense of ease.
Set in a peaceful natural environment, and held in a warm, like-minded community, this retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect, and remember your inner strength — so the stillness you touch here continues to support you well beyond your time with us.
What We’ll Explore
This retreat offers a rich blend of practices to soothe the nervous system, ease emotional stress, and cultivate inner steadiness:
Pranayama (breathwork) – to calm the nervous system and support emotional balance
iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation – for deep rest, rejuvenation, nervous system regulation, resilience, and self-inquiry
Mindfulness in movement (BodySensing) – to ground awareness and reconnect with the safety of the body
Co-meditation Inquiry, Nature Meditation, and Walking Meditation – to foster connection with self, others, and the natural world
Sound Healing – to restore harmony through the soothing power of vibration and resonance
Journaling and Reflection – to integrate your experience and deepen personal insight
Each practice becomes a doorway — guiding you back to the wisdom and steadiness already within you.
What You’ll Take Home
This retreat is more than just a pause — it’s an invitation to lasting transformation. You may leave with:
A greater sense of calm and clarity, even amidst uncertainty
Simple, embodied tools to support yourself when anxiety arises
A renewed connection with your breath, body, and inner resources
Strengthened trust in your own resilience and capacity for healing
Personal insights gained through guided inquiry and reflection
