For this season's day retreat, we will be focused on practices that will allow us to connect more strongly to grounding energy, also known as Kapha. Winter is widely recognized in the Ayurvedic world as the Kapha season. We will incorporate yoga, energy healing, reflection, nature, sound healing, and the fire ceremony to connect us more profoundly with the Kapha energy and help us slow down while regaining energy and motivation. We will be located in a beautiful cabin-like space with a cozy fireplace and plenty of room. This retreat is perfect for anyone looking to restore energy and relax. No experience is needed. All are welcome.
Included in the day retreat:
Opening Circle: A welcome ceremony to set an intention, connect, and welcome.
Gentle Yoga Practice: A gentle yoga practice (modifications offered) embracing the Kapha season, making it a lovely time to slow down, inviting warmth, and embrace stillness. Optional light massage and reiki will be offered throughout the practice. Leaving our minds and bodies more grounded as we welcome the day ahead.
Winter Walk: We will embark on a slow, meditative walk to embrace the beauty of nature. Spending time outdoors has proven health benefits- lowering blood pressure, reducing stress, improving focus, and more.
Reflection: Wake up the mind by exploring journaling exercises. Through this, we can connect more deeply to who we are, what we want, and where we are going.
Grounding circle: cozy up and get ready to relax. During the grounding circle, Marissa will guide you through multiple practices that connect you more deeply to yourself and aid in relaxation.
Sound Healing: Sound healing uses different vibrations to heal the body, mind, and spirit. Crystal sound bowls will heal and ground throughout the day retreat.
Reiki: Reiki is a form of energy healing that unblocks and balances the chakras, releases stagnant energies, and supports mental, emotional, and physical health. Marissa will send extra healing to the root chakra, which is associated with grounding energy.
Yoga Nidra: A guided meditation to create deep relaxation and relieve stress. Optional light massage and reiki will be offered throughout the practice.
Closing/Fire ceremony: A sacred ceremony to release unwanted energy, remove fear, spread joy, burn karma, purify the environment and create peace for all.
Lunch - caffeine-free tea and water will be provided throughout the day. Plant-based/gluten-free/nut-free lunch included. However, you are welcome to bring personal snacks and beverages.
