Nest at Nectar: JOYOUS BODY
If you’re longing for the time and space to return to yourself after long periods of stress, burnout or exhaustion, this space is made for you.
The healing journey is, famously, a tough one. The healing process often requires us to face what is unbearable to face. It is a challenging and rewarding path. And, there is another part of our healing journey that is equally essential. It works in tandem with the grizzlier parts of the path. We also must reach for all the goodness that was out of reach during our hurting times. Often, this includes:
love / belonging / play / care / joy / nourishment / ceremony / connection / space to feel / processing and reflection / freedom of expression / freedom to be who we are / time and space to truly rest / ease / peace / release
There are times when what is needed to immerse oneself in the beauty that life has to offer. Especially when life has been stressful, painful, or draining, we need to remember the moments that make life worth living.
This retreat includes:
Silent mornings
Trauma-informed yoga every AM & PM
Forest meditations
Afternoon workshops exploring the Joyous Body theme, including nervous system exploration, storytelling, and group circles
