// UPDATE AUG 6/2019: We have added some incredibly gifted healers to support you on this journey and currently have 7 beds open in 4 shared rooms.//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aligned. Knowing. Full Bloom Radiance. Clear. Shining. Grounded.
 
These qualities all exist within us, yet for so many women, we feel depleted + defeated, attention being pulled in many different directions, with a low-grade fever of constant overwhelm. We may feel racked with guilt, shame, and comparison, constantly feeling we don’t ‘measure up’.
 
This is a wake up call– the time for the Nourished Woman is now.
 
This is an invitation to gently awaken and rise out of this trance, through connecting with other women in a conscious and loving way, through touch, our own wild uninhibited expression, grieving and celebration, we can find a way back to our True Nature, our instinct and move in the world in this new empowered way.
 
If you are tired of too many screens, traffic, overthinking, and just a general sense of distraction and disconnection, AND if you are ready to really receive the self- care you deserve and feel open to connecting in vulnerability with other sisters, then come. I invite you to the first annual Nourished Woman retreat, held on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples on these sacred lands of Sunshine Coast, BC at Halfmoon Haven Community. We are blessed to practise and play here.
 
This is a rare opportunity to connect back to your inner guidance system, connect deeper to your body, to Nature, to other sisters, and sacred food nourishment in a pristine backdrop of old growth forest and pacific ocean waters. The time of the Nourished Woman is now. We will be utilizing:
 
~ Feminine Embodiment: with conscious touch and massage from sisters, honest focused discussion, intuitive and guided movement, chanting and mantra, shakti ( feminine energy) is used as a practise and portal to ride one’s awareness into deeper presence and power.
 
~ Sacred Food Nourishment: re-connect to your body with artisanal, organic, local and lovingly prepared plant-based food healing. Explore the nourishment of life as something to be received, not hide away from. Explore emotions and mindful eating practises.
 
~ Holistic healers on site for private 1-1 sessions. Very rare opportunity to work with gifted healers at a special rate at a pristine location. Pre-booking is required, times open during the retreat are:
Saturday 6-8am + 1-3pm, 6-8pm and Sunday 6-9am + 3:30 pm onwards.
