Who should come to this retreat?
Do you find yourself feeling burned out? Weary? Overwhelmed?
Do you feel disconnected from yourself? From your own body?
Do you long for time and space just to be with your own thoughts and feelings?
Does nature often feel restorative to you?
Has the world (or your world) felt heavy recently due to grief or responsbilities or difficult events?
If any of these questions resonate with you, this day long retreat for women (inclusive) is for you.
