Honouring Your Rhythms:
A Retreat of Realignment and Renewal
Our individual and unique nature is intertwined with everything living, however so many things we do shift us out of balance. When we are mindful in nature, it naturally restores the harmony and rhythm within ourselves, nurturing a more joyful experience of life. For our special time together, we will let our true nature find its flow through forest bathing, meditation, movement and breathing practices in the nurturing serenity of our surroundings. Away from the city, surrounded by forest and water, we will gather in community to rebalance our material bodies while honouring our hearts, minds and spirits. It is my hope this retreat will encourage the creation of new rituals and healthy habits to help keep you in balance, so you may live life to the fullest.
