Healing with Nature Retreat

This weekend retreat offers women a chance to step away from their busy lives and emerse themselves in the outdoors to find healing and personal growth while collaborating with nature. Come enjoy a distraction free therapeutic campout while building community with other women. This getaway offers the simplicity of camp life blended with therapeutic, somatic and mindfulness practices. Retreat attendees can expect to let go of their daily concerns to focus on themselves while we provide your camp essentials, healthy seasonal faire, 24hr snacks and refreshments and some little comforts and pretty surprises sprinkled throughout the experience to create a true arcady for you. This retreat is designed for women who are missing that connection with themselves, nature and community. It is designed for women looking for personal growth and healing and who are wanting to start or strenghten their own rituals around self care and self exploration. We will be offering community gatherings for introductions, intention setting, journaling, processing and just enjoying the great outdoors together! Specific offerings include Sound Bath, Forest Therapy, Waterfall hike, Women circle, Forest Meditation, Journaling, Smores, Dancing around fire, Community and connection!! Come find peace and tranquility camping along the river with other women.
