Empower & Flow Retreats

Escape to nature with us!
 

RETREAT DATES:

May 19-21 - Copper Mtn, Colo
May 26-29th, Santa Cruz Mountains, CA
June 2nd-4th - Mt Shasta

Put away the cell phone and the buzz of the city. This retreat will take you on a journey to deeply soothe your nervous system, align and rejuvenate your physical body and live from your authentic self!

We will have as a theme, "the center pole." So often life throws us off balance. This retreat will help us to align and center and re-find our core!

Both weekends will consist of movement lessons,  connection, meditation, nature, healthy vegetarian cuisine, as well as personal and spiritual growth classes.  

We will come together with the intention to do a deep dive into the self; with a focus on breaking through barriers of the mind, and healing our hearts and bodies, so that YOU can gain a new, more empowering view of what is possible for you in your life!

Body

You will be guided through daily  somatic Feldenkrais® & movement classes to improve your flexibility, strength, and alignment.

Mind

You will learn practices to shift emotional and energy blockages and release negative beliefs and social conditioning and reconnect to the wisdom of your heart.

Spirit

Through meditation, grounding and centering yourself in a nature setting, you will have the opportunity to reconnect to the truth of who you are.

The Location: For Mt Shasta Weekend, June 2-4th 2023:

Mount Shasta, Ca

Hikari Retreat Center is located in a rural setting on the outskirts of Mount Shasta, an area known for its healing properties, paranormal phenomena and sacred water bodies. This majestic volcano, located at the southern end of the Cascade Mountain Range, offers one of the strongest energy vortexes in North America and has inspired spiritual seekers for decades.

All three Siskiyou mountain ranges are visible from the windows, offering an elevated escape from worldly concerns and a reset to the central nervous system.

Watsonville, Ca (Santa Cruz Mtns)

Mount Madonna Retreat Center is located on 355 acres of redwoods and grasslands. Located 90 min from the San francisco and 45 min from San Jose airports.

Our peaceful haven is a place where you can step back, slow down, and reconnect to your center, to nature, and to a more authentic flow of life.
