Info: Hosted by Somatic Coach Courtney Doll - Qigong is an Ancient Chinese practice that combines slow, gentle movements, controlled breathing, mindfulness, and meditation to promote physical, mental, and spiritual health by cultivating the body's vital life force.

Info: Hosted by Jordan Cimino - This immersive breathwork journey is designed to clear emotional and energetic blockages, calm the nervous system, and awaken a deep sense of presence in the body. Through conscious, connected breathing, you’ll release stagnant energy, reconnect with your vital life force, and create space for fresh insight and clarity.

As the breath opens the body, you may experience tingling, waves of emotion, or a sense of lightness—natural responses as your system recalibrates. This somatic awakening prepares the ground for the deep inner stillness of the guided meditation that follows, making it easier to access subtle states of awareness and inspiration.

Info: Following the breathwork session, Palehorse leads you on a journey inward , into a heart-opening experience that invites you to reconnect with your child self, meet your inner mentor, and awaken your imagination in vivid detail.

Set in a dreamlike, symbolic landscape, this meditation takes you beyond ordinary thought—into a realm of memory, meaning, and creative possibility.

This is more than relaxation—it’s a reconnection with your essence, a chance to remember the joy, wonder, and imagination that lives within you still. With your senses softened and your heart attuned, inspiration flows naturally. We will end the session with time for journaling and honoring the inspirations that flow from the stillness.

Info: Vegetarian lunch will be provided for all guests.

Info: Step into the living sanctuary of Boyd Hill for a soul-nourishing nature hike infused with mindfulness, presence, and creative discovery.

As we walk beneath the canopies of trees and along the serene shores of Lake Maggiore, we’ll pause for moments of contemplative stillness—inviting the senses to open, the breath to slow, and the mind to soften. Let birdsong, rustling leaves, and the rhythmic movement of your body draw you deeper into the now.

Along the way, we’ll gather for a guided meditation and creative activation designed to align you with the living intelligence of the natural world—and the quiet brilliance within you.

This hike is a sacred pilgrimage into the present moment. Come walk with us. Let the Earth remind you who you are.
