Spring into Serenity
A Soulful Equinox Day Retreat for Mindfulness, Renewal, and Connection
Immerse yourself in this half-day retreat to shed the heaviness of winter, and put the ‘spring’ back in your step!
We recognize the transformative impact of the changing seasons on our well-being and invite you to explore how to care for yourself during this transition.
We firmly believe that self-care is essential for overall health, addressing the unique needs of your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. By cultivating self-awareness and focusing on these aspects, we can create a foundation for better holistic health.
Together, we will delve into our heart center, using mindful awareness, sound, movement, and breath. This soothing pairing will help cleanse & balance your chakras, move stagnant & stuck energy, soothe the nervous system, release stress, and plant the seed for what you wish to manifest for spring and beyond.
The focus of this retreat is to leave you feeling balanced and blissful as we spend the day connecting and restoring in celebration of the Spring Equinox.
*As a unique offering, you can explore the gentle realms of Cacao and Forest Medicine (micro-dosing psilocybin). *This is included in the event cost.
- Drinking Cacao can increase serotonin uptake, fostering feelings of happiness and fulfillment. Participants often experience a sense of their hearts opening up to new opportunities, breaking free from the routine, and overcoming mental blocks. The ceremony is designed to contribute positively to mental well-being.
- Microdosing psilocybin is a subtle and gentle practice involving only a fraction of a standard dose. This sub-perceptual dose ensures a peaceful and grounded experience far below the intensity of a psychedelic journey.
Embrace this opportunity to journey within, release burdens, and cultivate a profound sense of peace and well-being in a nurturing, supportive environment. Your path to relaxation, invigoration, and self-discovery starts here!
