Women’s Wisdom Retreat

The program will include the following:

Guided Visualization - while in a resting position music and words lead you through an enhancing experience of awareness. It allows you to be in a stillness with yourself and absorb loving and peaceful thoughts.

Group Energy and Healing - our own energy is powerful and dynamic. When we join others we raise our vibrational level and create opportunities for deeper healing and peace.

Silence Periods - being in silence provides a profound opportunity to just be. There is no taking care of others, no needing to explain or justify thoughts, no having to interact when emotion runs deep. It is highly recommended that these times be respected by all participants.

Nature Walks - early morning walks and mid day refreshers offer time in nature and a chance to fill your lungs with clean, fresh air.

Myomassology Massage - Myomassology is an integration of techniques including basic Swedish massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, shiatsu, energy balancing, and craniosacral therapy.

Journalling - the act of putting our thoughts on paper can be very therapeutic. Writing can clear away clutter, tap into true feelings and uncover messages from within that are often hidden under daily noise. Journals will be provided.

Creative Expression - allowing ourselves to participate in activities of a playful, fun nature can give us a sense of release and relaxation while often surprising us with insights into our dreams and aspirations.

Free Time – space for participants to choose their own activity. Several self-directed learning experiences will be set up or you may use the time to snooze, read, wander the grounds or just be with nature.

The weekend will include many other activities and opportunities to feel and grow.
