Description

The Fall is a time for deep reflection and introspection. It is an opportunity to release what no longer serves us and to lay a new foundation for intentions and growth to begin expanding over the coming months. This retreat will provide you a supportive and sacred place to allow yourself to bring light to the darkness. It is through the community of this retreat and the mind, body, and spirit activities provided that you will feel empowered to honor the transformation of your heart and soul. This retreat will help you lay a nurturing foundation for deepening greater visions, clearer intentions, and expansion. Deanna will guide the group through several yoga sessions including somatic yoga - a form of movement that helps balance the nervous system, relieve pain, and reduce stress in the body. This form of yoga is gentle and accessible, and enables connection between the brain, body and nervous system. This session will also include myofascial release using tennis balls to massage areas of the body prone to tension. Later, we will have a yin session geared toward the season of fall and going inward/releasing sadness and grief. This will be followed by restorative postures using blankets and bolsters to nourish and support the body for deep relaxation. Jenna will provide Reiki on students while they are in relaxation poses. Jenna will offer Brainspotting and other activities to help you release patterns that no longer serve you and thus create space for new beginnings to grow. Brainspotting taps into the subcortical brain where emotional patterns about chronic stress, trauma, and negative belief patterns are held. This technique allows these emotional and energetic patterns to be released so new and healthy patterns can form. It helps to rewire the brain and encourage new patterns of neurons to fire that support greater emotional and spiritual health. ***Lunch will be provided. Vegetarian options are available upon request. All food will be gluten and dairy free.***You will need to bring a yoga mat, dress comfortably, ear buds, an electronic device such as smart phone or other device that you can access YouTube for music that is needed to help enhance the Brainspotting experience.
