LIVING WITH INTENTION

February 20th - 23rd, 2025

Restorative Retreat for Purpose-Full Driven Women

Are you ready to tune in and listen to the wisdom within?

We all need to find time to reset and restore our minds and bodies, especially for those who are leaders in their field, business owners & entrepreneurs, or anyone who is passionate about sharing their talents and gifts to build a better community.

Those big hearts of “giving all you got” can overshadow our own needs, and can lead to:

    Burn-out

  • lotus-4776450_640

    Directionless

  • lotus-4776450_640

    And the list is endless…

Retreat Details

BioDynamic Breathwork with April Wyett

April provides a sanctuary of support to help you find a resource, a place of safety, and assist you to connect to the felt sense through self-awareness within and around your body. Through the  BioDynamic Breathwork (BBTRS®) experience,  you will receive gentle guidance to utilize the breath with movement, touch, release, and with soothing sounds ending with a meditation & integration of energy with Reiki. This is a holistic approach for an embodiment of breath practice to witness your own ability to ease tensions and self-regulate.

The BBTRS® breathing style can also be used to target specific emotional and/or physical issues and tap into areas that feel “blocked” or disconnected from the rest of the body. Through the series of sessions an awareness is fostered by building Emotional Intelligence, as you learn to alleviate tensions and discord within the mind & body while receiving support in exploring your personal growth.

Reiki Experience with April Wyett

During our time together April will offer a Restorative Meditation with Reiki.

Reiki is a Japanese technique which promotes wellbeing and is a very gentle and helps to support mental, physical, and emotional wellness and healing.

During the 45-minute meditation you will receive support in relieving stress, tension, and anxiety to restore your foundation of health, energy, and vitality. The session will start with a short, guided meditation as you relax to soothing music, allowing yourself to be supported by Reiki energy.

No experience required, just an open mind and heart to explore!

Mindfulness Hike

Gentle Yoga Practice

Gentle yoga relieves stress, increases flexibility, calms the mind, and strengthens the body. It can be relaxing as it helps to enhance range of motion and gain flexibility, and each movement is linked with breath as we enter the postures gradually to connect with body ~ our most precious resource. 

Sound Healing

Sound healing is produced by the unique sounds and frequency with intention for healing, as it harmonizes the body on both cellular and energetic levels balancing any area needing support. Immersed in the soft soothing tones, most people say their experiences are like a massage, but on a deeper level and is very relaxing. The frequencies can also provide relief of aches and tensions within the body, allowing you to let go, relax, and receive, bringing you back to your natural state of being.
