lemme guess... you pretty much live your life doing all the things for everyone else...
but you also very much know that in order to show up for everyone else, you need to love on yourself first.
>> THIS IS YOUR SIGN. <<
before you go any further, i got to let you know...
X this retreat really isn't for everyone. X
if you don't enjoy nurturing touch, you might not vibe. I'm super into offering presence in the form of touch, it's a way to co-regulate your system, and personally, I think there's not enough loving touch in this world. If you wanna receive all the loving touch, you're gonna love it here.
if you would rather a weekend in a luxurious setting, this one ain't for you. We're sleeping in cute little cabins with our own woodstove fireplace. It's suuuper woodsy and simple! Not for everyone, but incredible GROUNDING. If you wanna be in NATURE at the peak of fall colours, keep reading!!
if you want just a yoga retreat, there are better suited retreats for you. In the most chill way possible, this is a playground. It's a type of retreat that gives you the opportunity to be present with yourself, to meet your body, to get curious about the medicine that you actually need, and this is beyond just yoga. There's actually no traditional yoga classes planned for the retreat. What there is >> is a mix of gentle, soothing & powerful somatic + energetic practices woven in the weekend. - soooooo, if you've craving embodiment over posture practice, you're in the right place!
nature
autumn leaves, woodsy trails, by the water, the sounds of birds chirping, crisp october air, the rustic smell of fire wood, & if you're lucky you might be greeted by deers in the morning
nurture
all the loving touch for you to receive, nutritious and delicious food made with love by our private chef, Christine, an experience with all the invitations to simply receive.
rest
alone time, slow mornings, slow evening, hammocks, Walking slow, eating slow, deep breaths, invitation to disconnect from electronics for the weekend and just BE.
Testimonial
"I feel refreshed. I feel like I came in as a dirty spunge, and y'all lathered me up, rung me out, rinsed me, rung me out again and then set me in the sun so gently, and I am renewed."
"I had taken Danika’s yoga classes before, so I knew the type of energy that she would bring to this retreat. You could feel the love that she put into this weekend and everything was perfectly balanced with just the right ratio of activities/downtime. There was so much nourishment for the mind, body, and soul throughout this retreat."
