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:
-
Feeling empty
-
Overwhelm
-
Burn-out
-
Directionless
-
And the list is endless…

It’s time to give yourself permission to uncover your true essence and discover the precious resources within, to enhance your skills, and expand self-awareness so that you can move forward in life with more clarity and confidence.
Join us for this AMAZING all-inclusive experience where you can connect with like-minded Purpose-Full women, restore your senses, and discover more about yourself!

Retreat Details
BioDynamic Breathwork (BBTRS®) with April Wyett
April provides a sanctuary of support to help you find a resource, and 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 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 ability to ease tensions and self-regulate.
The BBTRS® breathing style can help 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 that promotes well-being and is 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 is required, just an open mind and heart to explore!

Intuition is our spiritual GPS that keeps us aligned with the realization of our deepest joys, purpose, and true abundant nature. Everyone is intuitive, we just need to learn to tune in.

Sound Healing ~ Noriko Whitfield
Sound healing is produced by the unique sounds and frequency with the 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 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.
