This is a retreat for those ready to do the deep work – with beauty, support, and ceremony. Whether you’re healing, evolving, or seeking a fresh start, The Phoenix Retreat provides a safe, sacred space to shed the old and rise anew.
You’ll leave not only refreshed – but transformed.
The deepest connection we can have with ourselves is in our breath. You will be guided into your body, deeper into self inquiry to allow you to get in touch with your center, your truth. During the work, you will receive energetic healing and body work to allow yourself to shift and move so that you may find internal stillness. We will drop into our bodies, we will play, we will laugh, we will process emotions – we will take up space – and we will be supported by each other, and learn to resource and support ourselves in a whole new way.
We will use these techniques to shift into a state that allows us to challenge the way we think and perceive our selves and others. Reframing the old limiting beliefs and fears that have held our minds and hearts hostage.
We will hike, bike ride, and explore. We will jump into waterfalls. We sink into a deeper state of awareness. Adventure gives us the unique practice of courage, self reliance, and curiosity.
Meditation is when we listen to Source, Prayer is when we talk to Source.
Integrated practices make our connection to Source more real and tangible. We will not prescribe any particular method- we will share our prayers- we will listen to yours- and we will pray together in a variety of ways including: chanting, prayers from various religions, song, dance, and ritual.
While there are techniques backed by science, the breathwork and the personal development tools you will receive on this retreat – will only work if you work them. You will have the opportunity to integrate your practices and develop your rituals daily before you head home so that you can bring new tools that provide freedom into your daily life.
We are biologically wired for connection. We need it! The past several years have challenged our community, globally. Social isolation has significantly impacted us as a whole. Purpose and meaning come from our ability to connect to ourselves, each other and something greater. Here we tap into the magic of authentic expression and vulnerable connection. Pulling off the masks that have kept you from the very thing you are yearning for.
There is a divine calling to the very specific humans that end up here together. And we can not wait to support you on your healing journey.
