For this season's day retreat, focusing on practices that will allow us to connect more strongly to fresh energy, new beginnings, and a sense of renewal. Spring is widely recognized in the Ayurvedic world as the Kapha season, working with the elements of earth and water combined to create new life. We will incorporate yoga, energy healing, cleansing practices, reflection, nature, sound healing, and the fire ceremony to connect us more profoundly to support a sense of renewal while regaining energy and motivation. There will be a strong focus on the heart chakra to cultivate clarity and awareness. We will be located in a beautiful cabin-like space with a cozy fireplace and plenty of room. No experience is needed. All are welcome.
Included in the day retreat:
Opening Circle: A welcome ceremony to set an intention, connect, and welcome.
Cleansing Yoga Practice: A yoga practice (modifications offered) focused on cleansing the body and mind. Incorporating breath work poses and mindfulness to create space and clear stagnant energy to open us back up after a long winter. Optional light massage and reiki will be offered throughout the practice. Leaving our minds and bodies more clear as we welcome the day ahead.
Spring Walk: We will embark on a 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.
Energy circle: During the energy circle, Marissa will guide you through multiple practices that connect you more deeply to yourself and the heart chakra.
Sound Bath: Sound healing uses different vibrations to heal the body, mind, and spirit. Crystal sound bowls will heal and inspire 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 heart chakra and other areas that need focus to promote clarity and growth.
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.
