I am super excited to announce that coming this April in Northern California, myself and my girl Vyana are hosting our first-ever retreat as Wild Spirit Retreats.

Rise // A Wild Spirit Retreat

April 3-6, 2015 – The Sequoia Retreat Center – California

 

Rise is an escape from the hustle

a plunge into the nourishment of presence

to walk into our shadows

hand in hand

supported by our sisters

to explore the spirit through yoga, cooking, writing, vision boarding, hiking, bodywork and more

a place to transform fear into confidence

hatred to forgiveness

jealousy to understanding

to celebrate movement and nourishment

a gathering to honor the power of being a woman

// Who We Are //

Wild Spirit Retreats offers space to combine the wonders of travel with the opportunity to refresh the spirit through yoga, cooking, outdoor activities, bodywork and more. Rather than using vacation as an escape, Wild Spirit Retreats takes you on a journey to explore personal growth and offers guidance to dig down into your shadows.

With a focus on organic, sustainable living, Wild Spirit Retreats blends movement, creative expression, communication, and skill building into fun and relaxing gatherings. Each year we host a minimum of 2 gatherings – 1 US and 1 international.

Join us for your next adventure and experience the heart opening effects of connecting through play.
