PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
When women gather with openness and intention, something beautiful happens.
Join us for a nourishing day retreat created exclusively for women, a space to reconnect with yourself, awaken your creativity, and experience the power of gathering in community.
Throughout the day, we’ll explore the balance between radiance and rest through Kundalini Yoga, ceremony, meditation, creativity through painting and time in nature. Together, we’ll awaken energy through movement and breath, soften into stillness, express ourselves creatively, all while reconnecting with the wisdom that already lives within. This is an invitation to move, create, laugh, reflect, rest and simply be, held in the company of like-hearted women.

• Opening circle & intention setting
• Ceremonial cacao
• Kundalini Yoga, breathwork & meditation
• A nourishing snack made by our beautiful chef
• A guided painting workshop
• Time in nature & mindful reflection
• Journaling & meaningful connection
