Re-Source & Essential Nature

a small group retreat

with Laura Fuller, M.A., C.Ht., S.E.P.

January January 29th - February 1st

Thursday afternoon - midday Sunday

Deep in the silent and unseen, a new way can begin. Empty into stillness and be held by the generative darkness of Winter in the Valley. Let your energy return to the purest root of your existence. Refine your direct relationship with truth and source. Release what is done, integrate the wisdom of all you have made it through, and choose how to go forward from here. 

For some plants in Winter, the energy rests in the roots. Outward expressions go dormant. From an outside observer, it may even appear that the plant is dead, but it is not. The energy goes to the roots to re-source. It is a great wisdom to take this pause. The process of return to essence, brings restoration - and an opportunity to refine the root from which you will grown forward from. This pause takes courage and gives incredible gifts of self-authority and peace. 

During our time together, you will get to enjoy the beauty of nature of Zion National Park and also the beauty of the grounds and buildings of Nama-stay. Nama-stay is built with exquisite intelligence which deeply supports an inner organizing of energy. 

This intimate, small group retreat will include: deeply held space for group connection, meditation and yoga to help you rest into essence, breathwork for healing, a tea ceremony for presence and magic, free time to rest and enjoy, and a guided process of contemplation where you will define the values that you want to live from this year.

The timing of this retreat coincides with the full moon and Imbolc. A beautiful time for release, cleansing, and new beginning. 

What we will be doing:

• Circle work & connection - We will create a space together of deep listening and sharing. Especially in a small group, the alchemy of group work is present and it becomes clear that each person is a part of the medicine. Circle work and work in partners will help you connect to the group and to yourself. 

• Yoga - Yoga is a sweet, gentle way to cultivate peace in the body, mind, and soul. It supports you to meet yourself with kindness, rest and restore, and continue forward with reassurance and faith. Morning classes will be energizing, building strength, and helping focus the mind. Evening classes will be restorative and will lead into silent meditations. All levels of experience will be supported.

• Meditation - In the quiet and darkness of the mornings and evenings, we will go deep into meditation. This may include chanting, kriya, or breathing and focusing practices. 

• Breathwork  - The term "Breathwork" refers to the technique of the consciously connected breath. It is a ceremonial use of the breath that will take you to states of revelation and healing. In the afternoons, we will do processes of contemplation that will lead into a session of breathwork that will support you in whatever healing is needing to be done. 

• Contemplation of Values - over our 4 days together, you will be guided in a contemplation of values that you want to root into this year. 

• Art Table  - We will build an art table together where anyone can come to explore and express. If you are willing, please bring some art supplies to contribute.

• Free time - There will be free time in the middle of the day. During this time, you can rest, journal, reflect, connect with others, or journey into the national park.

•Tea Ceremony A beautiful tea ceremony will be guided by Atonka Ma. Through presence and the magic of connection to nature, and sitting together in this practice, guidance and medicine will come.

~ Please Note

 ~ the prices for this retreat are set low as low as possible for the costs of the area. My hope is to do my best to help the many people who have been having hard times financially. However, if you are in a time of steadiness or abundance, you can pay a little more to help offset costs of those who can't pay as much. It is so important to come together in beautiful places and care for your soul so that we can keep lifted up to create goodness in the world.

WIFI in the mountains is good but not like what one may experience in the cities. If you need to work during your visit we recommend you bring your hotspot as well, or visit our local library.
