Restore + Realign + Recharge RETREAT!

As we move into the fall season and away from the craziness of summer, now is the time to invest in yourself to change your life for the better. Like the caterpillar that makes the chrysalis before becoming a butterfly, we too must “go within” before we can finally shed our various layers and fly!

During this half-day event, you’ll learn peer-reviewed and science-based methods to help you:
*Improve creativity, clarity, and performance

*Better manage the stressors of daily life by creating flow states that enable calm
*Increase longevity and reduce the symptoms of conditions such as anxiety, depression, diabetes and hypertension
*Improve communication skills and relationship management

We'll convene at the beautiful Real Eyes Meditation & Wellness Center, a serene outdoor and indoor space complete with labyrinths, gardens, fountains and forest bathing, just a short drive from Washington, DC.

Your hosts include:

Aparna Sain is a dedicated yoga teacher trained in the ancient traditions of India, where she studied at esteemed ashrams and institutions. Her journey began with a quest for inner peace, leading her to master various styles such as Hatha, Vinyasa, and Kundalini, as well as meditation and breathwork. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages students of all levels to explore and deepen their practice. With a warm and nurturing approach, she aims to empower students to achieve personal growth and a lasting sense of tranquility.

Aparna will lead us in an hour-long gentle breathwork and yoga flow to invigorate the mind, body and soul. This class will be followed by a meditation designed to balance our chakras (energy centers) to create a peaceful and abundant experience. Please bring water, a journal and yoga mat. Wear comfortable clothes.

Marc Stoecker is a senior training professional with 20+ years of experience in designing, developing and facilitating a variety of soft-skills and technical content across such industries as government, associations, and commercial.

Marc will conduct a workshop on Three Brains for Creativity and Connections – Activate your inner masterminds. The concept of the “three brains” referring to the stomach, heart, and head is often used metaphorically to describe different centers of intelligence or sources of wisdom within the body. While these “brains” don’t have the same neurological complexity as the brain in the head, they are thought to play important roles in our overall well-being and decision-making processes. This workshop taps into our creativity and connection to ourselves and others from these three neural pathways. We have a path to becoming more self-aware and taking actions to activate our ideas. You’re here and have something to create. Let’s find out what that is!

Jessica Hill is a PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy practitioner, wellness navigator, and water alchemist (making and selling purified structured drinking water). Her interest in health deepened when she got really sick and none of the holistic/alternative/functional health practitioners she saw could tell her why she was sick or how to get better. Along her health journey she’s learned a lot about how to heal herself and others, and loves to share her knowledge with those seeking to optimize their health outside of the pharmaceutical model of symptom management. She takes a special interest in frequency healing modalities and quantum biology. Although not currently active on social media, you can find her on IG @attunedtohealthpemf.

Jessica will educate us on PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy, a frequency healing modality based on the earth’s magnetic field - what it is, how it works, and who can benefit from it. We’ll learn about connecting to the earth’s magnetic field, when and how you may want to supplement with PEMF therapy, and why. We’ll also have time for some demos, if you’re curious to try it out.

Cyn Bosnian has sought to assist others in their quests for healthier and happier lives ever since her “awakening” while awaiting a meeting in a soul-less conference room during her prior life in marketing. Always passionate about holistic health and wellness, sustainability, life purpose, and spirituality, she seeks to share her knowledge and educate about the interconnectness of it all through her Meetup (Wellness + Wonder) and her podcast-to-be (Cynthesyze Your Life).

Please wear comfortable clothes and bring: a yoga mat (a few will be available), towel, reusable water bottle, a notebook, any preferred snacks, and anything else you need to be comfortable outdoors. In the event of inclement weather, event will be held indoors.
