When we ground into the basics of mother earth and sync with the energies of the moon, magic will happen. Join us in a collaboration of gentle yoga, grounding practices, meditation, a cacao ceremony and deep dive into the energies of this new moon in Leo.

You’ll have an opportunity to come as you are, dive into the practices & leave feeling many things but here are a few:

  • Seen, held and heard in your intentions and desires among ladies
  • Grounded in nature
  • New found inspiration to embody your intentions and desires
  • A raise in your physical vibration and tools to shift when needed upon the return to the busy world that we live in.

The retreat will begin Friday afternoon, you’ll be able to arrive and settle in between 3pm-5pm. We will ease into the evening by getting to know one another and enjoying a nourishing meal. You’ll have a chance to fully understand the energetics behind the new moon. Each morning, Saturday and Sunday will start with breakfast and gentle yoga.

Saturday we will embark on a journey to ground into the earth with a walking meditation, and the opportunity to release what no longer serves your highest self. A sprinkle of free time and embodying earthly energy. Saturday evening we will circle up for the main event, a co-created cacao ceremony. Before you return to the busy world, Sunday, you’ll learn about tools to raise your vibration and set intentions for how to bring the magic home with you.

While not located within the Reserve itself, the facility is located a few miles from the border on top of a ridge where most ambient light is blocked and the views of the night sky are truly amazing.
