As Fall turns to Winter, there is a natural rhythm within us that calls us to slow down, to rest, to reflect and look within. Nature is our guide as we walk through arching canopies and take our place among the Aliveness that is turning towards sleep, hibernation, and even death that brings rebirth and renewal.
To prepare for this turn of the wheel, our human nervous systems call for a chance to unplug, to nurture ourselves, and to have time to rest and dream.
Welcome to the Deep Chill Day Retreat!
You’re in for a treat, indeed. Practices to access expanded states of consciousness and deep rest. Soak and sauna to relax. Nutritious meals and bodywork!
Here is what awaits you….
10- 12:30 Shamanic Breathwork Journey*
Using circular breathing and specially curated music that is activating we can move beyond the mind into heart space and non-ordinary consciousness.

Following the breathwork journey, we will do an art integration activity and have a short sharing circle.
