Break free from the patterns that hold you back

and enter into the empowered flow of regular self-care. 

In this online retreat, you’ll learn how to integrate the foundational practices of a balanced life — yoga, meditation, mindfulness and breathwork — into your daily life, no matter how busy or overwhelmed you are, without sacrificing yourself, those you care for, or your other priorities. 

Like seeds planted in the soil, we all naturally go through cycles of dormancy and new growth. And in a supportive retreat atmosphere, the conditions are especially favourable for accelerating personal transformation. Let the practices open you up to discover that you can move past limitations and live a life of sustainable self-care with all the rewards that come with it. 

This retreat is for you if

 
  • You want to learn empowering practices that provide access to the true source of vitality and balance.
  • You want help in being more consistent with self-care.
  • You want to move past overwhelm or low energy and learn how to fit self-care into a busy schedule or around the responsibilities of a caregiver.
  • You want to stay resilient and strong while taking care of yourself amidst the usual ups and downs of life.
  • You aren’t sure where to start and want to know the best way to begin.

In this retreat, you will

Discover the patterns that hold you back, how to break free from them, and how to create the conditions for future breakthroughs.

Learn how mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork practices contain the tools for intuitive self-care.

Explore and understand the essential principles behind breathwork practices inspired by ancient wisdom traditions and yoga.

Discover how shifting away from unbalanced breath patterns immediately creates vitality and how the breath pattern influences other patterns.

How the practices help you see clearly within, so you can see clearly how to live in the world.

How to explore the nature of “breakthrough,” its relationship to the clear, intuitive voice of self-love and respect, and how to make the most of one when it happens.

How to cultivate awareness of the ‘big picture’—a higher perspective on self-care and self-development.
