Love From Within Wellness Weekend
The last few years have been a wild ride! Life has been full of ups, downs, and burnout associated with adapting to change after change. If the last while have left you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, stretched a little too far, and in need of a serious break with some time just for YOU, join us June 2-4, 2023 for the Love From Within Wellness Retreat.
This weekend promises to help you:
- Unplug and unwind from stress and overwhelm
- Reconnect with yourself and with nature
- Discover the keys to feeling at home in your body
- Receive personalized offerings just for YOU through 1:1 time with our facilitators
- Deep dive into self discovery
- Take your nervous system from survive to thrive
- Get to a state of bliss and relaxation
- Leave with practical tools you can use everyday for smooth sailing through the waves that life brings
Starting on the evening of Friday June 2nd, our weekend itinerary includes:
- Welcome dinner and weekend wellness gift to start off the weekend with a nurturing meal and goodie bag which includes various nutritious treats and mini wellness resources such as an easy-to-read booklet full of the simple meditation and pranayama (breathing) techniques you will explore during the retreat.
- Calming yoga and meditation practice to help regulate the nervous system to increase your capacity to relax, unwind, and receive the benefits for the rest of the weekend;
- A private, 60-minute massage to promote a nurturing touch for the physical body, reduce aches and pains, and increase blood flow to help flush muscles, organs and oxidize tissues. Massage helps to decrease toxic stress hormones like cortisol, and is a natural way of increasing feel good hormones like dopamine and serotonin. This is a therapeutic massage and receipts are available upon request
- One on one personalized Human Design reading covering the essentials in your chart (45 minutes). Your reading will help you discover the truth of who you are, and provide you with practical tools you can use to integrate what you learn and increase your alignment with your unique magic;
- Catered healthy meals made fresh on site to nourish the body on a cellular level. Getting in the proper vitamins and minerals will help us cleanse and detox from the inside out, promote a good mood and raise energy levels for the weekend.
- Alkaline water will be available throughout the weekend. This replenishes and hydrates on a cellular level and is an important part of the weekend as we work towards detoxing, physically and energetically.
- Morning group yoga and meditation classes before breakfast to respark our prana (energy) and will leave us feeling light, bright, and ready to enjoy the day
- Evening group yoga and meditation classes focused on integrating the benefits from the weekend, increase self love and promote a deep and restful sleep.
- Creating your own 100% earth-friendly summer decoration. Crafting and creating has been proven to be a therapeutic tool to tap into *flow state* which leads to increased happiness, higher intrinsic motivation, greater creativity, more capacity for focus, and better emotional regulation. Did we mention the decorations are super cute and smell amazing?!
- Daily sunrise affirmation cards to spark inspiration and set the tone for the day. You get to take these home and have daily reminders of your magic that you will discover throughout the weekend
- 4 km nature trail to deepen the integration of your self care practices and reconnect with the natural world.
- Meditation labyrinth to still the mind, and reduce stress and mental chatter
- Full moon intention setting session. The full moon happening on June 3, 2023 gives us the opportunity to explore what we want to release and let go of. Working with the insights from Human Design we will be exploring how we can harness the power of this full moon to come into better alignment with our intentions.
- Nightly campfires with homemade marshmallows. Musical instruments are welcome!
- An invitation to take time for yourself, whether reading, napping, walking, or unwinding in the many cozy, little spots that dot the property. You are welcome to participate in as much or as little of the weekend as you desire. This is all about your needs and what feels best for you!
- Live Sound Healing session incorporating a rainbow of tones that play a role in full body healing. Did you know that sound is not just received through the ears and that we all receive the energy of sound a different way? Rachel will bring a variety of instruments for the session and there will be an opportunity to play and discover which sounds resonate for you!
We encourage you to unplug from your phone for the weekend to keep the nervous system relaxed and thriving, promote presence and awareness, and to truly absorb the benefits the weekend has to offer.
