RELEASE & RISE - A One - Day Women’s Retreat

Release & Rise is an invitation to step out of daily momentum and into a carefully held space of rest, reconnection, and embodied presence.

This one-day retreat offers a gentle yet profound container where the nervous system can soften, emotional weight can release, and clarity can emerge. Through movement, sound, creativity, and ritual, you’ll be guided to listen beneath habitual patterns and reconnect with the wisdom that has always lived within you.

This is not a packed schedule or a performance-driven experience. It is spacious, intentional, and deeply nourishing.

• Nervous system regulation and deep rest
• Emotional softening and release
• Reconnection with the body and breath
• Creative expression and insight
• Grounded clarity and renewed vitality
• A sense of belonging and shared presence
  

The retreat unfolds in a gentle, cohesive arc designed to support settling, depth, and integration.

The day begins with an opening circle and cacao ceremony, offering a grounded and intentional arrival. From there, you’ll move into an embodied somatic yoga practice to release tension, awaken the spine, and reconnect with the breath, supported by hands-on Reiki.

As the body opens, guided breathwork with rhythmic drumming supports emotional release and energetic clearing. This flows naturally into a Reiki-infused sound meditation, where resonant tones and ancestral instruments guide you into deep states of restoration and inner clarity.

After a nourishing vegetarian lunch and time for rest and integration, the afternoon invites connection with nature through a gentle outdoor walk, followed by Neurographic Art — a somatic creative process that helps unwind subconscious tension and open new pathways of insight.

The day closes with Yoga Nidra, a deeply restorative practice where the body rests and the mind settles, followed by a closing circle and blessing to support grounding and gentle re-entry.

• Full-day guided retreat experience
• Yoga, sound meditation, Reiki, breathwork, Ceremonial Cacao and creative practice
