Cross the threshold from the distractions of life into space and time to reconnect with your true nature. Join this lovely circle in which wonder and awe, stillness and movement, curiosity and insight weave nourishing space for rest, transformation, and revival!! Where all invitations remind us to listen to our inner voice and follow our body radar as we align with the call of the heart.
This retreat is for women caregivers & tenders (therapists, nurses, body workers, healers, teachers, caregivers, earth tenders, mothers, etc) and any young babe in arms (6 months or under) who desire a space to feel nurtured and supported. The intention of this retreat is to provide sacred space and wisdom practices as we turn our attention inward, forging community in shared devotion to self. This container held by women, nature, wisdom, and spirit is designed to imbue the revival of self-love and replenishment of the soul.
Hop in that car for a leisurely drive-listening to that podcast or album you've been wanting to get to or relish in the quiet that may be a rare commodity. Wake to the morning bell in the distance signaling that a hot breakfast is ready for you, followed by a hot lunch and dinner...none of which you have had to meal plan for or cook. Gather with other women dressed in all things comfy with journals and cups of coffee or tea in hand to embark on days filled with sweet offerings and invitations to deepen connection and come closer home to yourself.
Stroll the trails, walk the labyrinth, relax in the wood burning sauna, nap, get lost in the delightfully curated gift and book shop, create in the stocked artists studio during your free time. The Christine Center holds a very special magic...once you're here, you'll feel it too.
As a participating guide, I bring forth offerings of ceremonial circle and kinship with nature as a pathway to Self. The co-creation of community is at the heart of this retreat. It is a genuine pleasure to be joined by the wisdom and presence of fellow participating guides who have stepped forward to offer their gifts:
Jenny Hayes: Listen, Walk, Weave (Nature Immersion)
Krista Pfohl: Find your Center, Awaken your Heart (Sound Bath Meditation)
Amy Plum: Reflections on your Reflection: Accessing the Inner World (Art Immersion)
Lisa Tennant: Essentrics: Slow down, Stretch, Strengthen (Mindful Movement)
