Saturday’s Agenda
Starting late afternoon on Saturday, we will be doing facial yoga with Ruth Langevin, followed by tea and snacks. We will then have a gentle Yin Yoga class with Chevay Roddick and gracefully move in to a guided meditation and sound immersion featuring crystal bowls, chimes and Ruth playing the harp. After this most relaxing sound immersion/Shavasana meditation the sauna will be lit and warm for the rest of the night and you will be free to jump in right away or go have a nice dinner and come back to sauna later. We will also have a fire circle going with optional sharing and journal prompts.
Sunday’s Agenda
Sunday will be a full day of magic, starting with a morning walk on the trails with Chevayo and Beth, some journal reflections, women’s empowerment exercises and wildcrafting collection. You will return for snacks and jump into a somatic dance class with Jennifyre. Lunch will follow and free time. After lunch, you will be enjoying foot soaks and facial masks, as well as other self-care rituals, using the ingredients you collected on the trail. We will wrap up the day with another beautiful sound immersion and guided mediation. From 5:30 – 7:30 anyone staying will participate in a boudoir photo shoot in a private setting, with professional photographer Samm Moore. You are welcome to wear anything (or nothing!) that makes you feel your best. You will leave with radiant goddess photos.
