​

Enjoy Yoga, Healing Meditations, Live Music, Sacred Ceremonies and other daily practices that will help us remember our deepest truth, and blaze this authentically in all parts of our life.

​

When we take time to reconnect with nature and our soul, we can reset our whole nervous system, balance our mind and body and remember more of our own true nature. 

 

Our Beautiful Retreat Location will be the perfect environment to help us do our practices to release blockages to this connection, as we will be surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, plus gardens, hiking trails, fire pit, and a beautiful pond and river.

 

The Sacred Land in this area is very unique.  Some call it the “Sedona of the East”. We will tune in and connect with the majestic energy in the earth beneath us filled with quartz crystal deposits, plus submerge in the energy vortexes in the area and allow the beautiful mountain energy to help us with our practices.  This will help us deepen our healing and transformation.
