retreats to reconnect
Summer Retreat DATES!
Alchemy in the Woods: July 23rd
Sea & Soul Beach Retreat: August 13th
Reconnect with your true nature, instinct and intuition with these nature based retreats.
Get 'back to your senses' with an inspiring day amongst the trees, by the sea, under the sky, and in connection with the land.
Magical Destinations
Laura brings the group to magical lesser known locations of exceptional beauty and natural wonder that inspire and awaken the heart and soul. Throughout the day you will learn how to connect with the natural world, read its symbolism, develop your intuition and learn new skills for your own wildlife adventures. Journeys are different on each retreat!
Nature based Retreat supports us to:
+ Align with the seasons, reconnect us to the cycles of nature, and the coming of more light,
+ Boost our energy and encourage our creative ideas to take bloom
+ Awaken us to the bigger picture, get perspective on our lives and the direction we wish to take forward
+ Reconnect to our ancestors, the gifts of the natural elements and the power of ritual
Our practices will create a living mandala for transformation & awakening through:
~ Mindful Walking, Tree Meditation, Forest/ Sea Bathing
~ Healing Yoga, Elemental Chi Gung, Embodiment Practices
~ Journey-work to nourish, awaken and uplift your full power, energy and potential!
~ Constellation Practice to align to our heart and soul path
~ Healing Meditation, Soul Activations and Awakening/ Rebirthing journeys
