RETREAT FULL AT THIS TIME ❤️✨. Join us for Earth Medicine Magic, a long weekend retreat of movement, breathwork and meditation in the redwoods of Northern California. This retreat is a one of a kind experience – Nicole Smith Levay will lead you through a journey of connecting to the natural world through your body’s senses. Uplift your spirit through conscious practice in communion with nature.What We'll Be Doing:
Amidst a background of a Redwood forest and grassy knolls, allow nature to be your medicine. The five elements - air, wind, earth, fire, and ether - all have a role to play in your vitality. Prepare to be taken through each element as it relates to your blockages and learn the tools to open up your energy to new possibilities of health. You are invited to reconnect to the disowned parts of yourself, meet the discomfort with courage, and grow and transform through this experience. You will be held as you meet wounds that are holding you back. As your own medicine keeper, you can return home and apply the embodied practices we’ll be using to ground you, move you, and light you up when you please.

Afternoons: Ecotherapy Adventures

Prior Retreat Testimonials:
“Nicole is such an amazing host! Always organized, supporitive and attentive. Nicole is the kind of teacher that guides you to see how strong and capable you are of. She is knowledgable, loving, inspiring and has a steady calm presence that made this experience the perfect fusion of relaxing, fun, and full of new. I suprised myself at how much Kundalini yoga and meditation I was capable of doing, and I owe so much of that to the safe space Nicole created. This retreat was like a dream I never wanted to wake up from. I came back to the city refreshed, alive, and more at home with myself.”
“This was a transformational experience. Nicole used all her expertise as a yoga teacher/spiritual mentor, life coach, group/movement therapist, astrologer, travel agent, and tour guide to create a wonderful space for growth and healing with fabulous accommodations sensitive to the original people whose land we were guests upon, fabulous food, and intuitive resourcefulness to meet our every need. Thank you Nicole.”
