A one-day mindfulness experience designed to nourish your soul and awaken your creative side through journaling, guided meditation, nature immersion, and therapeutic art activities.
The impact of an intentional getaway to reflect and reset can be life changing and it just may be what your body and spirit are asking for in order to enter into a new season refreshed and inspired!
As many are beginning their school year, we often find ourselves looking for a structure that was more elusive in the midst of little trips and long days, but still wanting to savor the freedom and openhearted nature that summer brings out in us. In this transition, it's helpful to pause and ask yourself some intentional questions:
How have my current metaphorical 'brushstrokes' been feeling?
Are my brushstrokes serving me as I paint the canvas of my unique life?
How might an adjustment of my mindset or perspective shift the outcome of the coming season?
What does nature suggest as a healthy flow for this season?
We will ask these questions and more as we breathe, invite restoration, explore, and get inspired.
Envision a day that provides gentle opportunities to move your body and savor handcrafted flavors designed to intentionally nourish and balance. We'll pair those choices with introspective activities for engaging our minds in a peaceful reflective process: putting the thoughts that arise in our journals and also allowing them to unfold in nature and perhaps in conversation. Finally, we will get a little creative with paint and plaster once we've found our flow, using simple techniques to translate our intentions to visual expression. You'll also have access to lovely spaces where you can escape for more private reflection if that desire lands at any point.
All are welcome, as the guidance to go deeper via meditation and abstract art will be warm and beginner-friendly.
Feel free to reach out with any questions!
