Polish the mirror of your heart in this retreat and drop the knife of self-judgment that clouds our vision of our True Selves.
See your Divine Self unencumbered by all the stories we tell ourselves and the judgments our egos heap upon us. Through loosening our body armor through yoga, Self-inquiry, a long yoga nidra, guided meditation, and heart sharing we will open to the love we are. During the retreat there will be a stretch of time for deepening into reflection at stations of your choosing: artist expression, journaling, meditation, nature walking on the gorgeous land amidst animals alone or with a small group for more sharing/connection. We will end our retreat with a powerful ritual facilitated by Holly and songs led by the gifted vocal artist and song leader TatiAnah Thunder, LMSW.
The retreat is based on an integration of the work of radical acceptance by Tara Brach (Buddhist Teacher and psychologist), nervous system care science, nondual yoga philosophy, deep eco-feminism and IFS parts psychology. Explore the sweet unchanging ground of being present amidst all that is changing by embracing ourselves exactly as we are and relaxing into loving presence.
Retreat Offers:
Yoga/Simple somatic movements to loosen our body armor and come into a relaxed presence
Long yoga nidra for resting in love
Guided meditation on embracing our True Selves
Self Inquiry and authentic connection/sharing
Options for Ala Carte Time before the letting go ritual: Journaling, Silent Meditation, Nature Walk on the Trails, Art Station, etc.
Powerful ritual with singing to conclude.

Holly brings over 25 years of combined experience leading retreats, trainings, and workshops. In all she does, Holly facilitates creative, body-based explorations that help us to remember and embody our true Sacred Selves, as mystics.

Her approach is embodied, contemplative, nature-based, creative, communal, and integrative—drawing on practices such as yoga, yogic Self-Inquiry, journaling, meditation, community ritual, and creative expression. She has spent 25 years in a yogic tradition and trained in two seminaries to offer interfaith, interspiritual practice-based experiences that resonate with people from different paths and beliefs.
