7:00 pm-9:30 pm Sound HealingSound healing is a powerful therapeutic practice that utilizes the vibrational qualities of various instruments to promote relaxation and balance within the body and mind. In our session, I will begin with a guided meditation featuring a body scan technique, which encourages participants to focus on each part of their body, releasing tension and cultivating a deep sense of relaxation. This mindful approach sets the stage for the immersive sound experience that follows, allowing individuals to enter a receptive state where healing vibrations can be fully absorbed.
After the meditation, I will introduce a harmonious blend of soundscapes using crystal bowls, metal bowls, chimes, flutes, and a pan drum, along with my own vocal toning. Each instrument offers unique frequencies that resonate with different energy centers in the body, facilitating emotional release and spiritual connection. As participants are enveloped in these soothing sounds, they may experience a profound sense of peace, clarity, and rejuvenation. This session not only promotes relaxation but also encourages self-awareness and healing, making it a transformative experience for all involved.
Saturday

9:00 am-11:00 am Morning Qi gong and Toning in the Cave
Qi Gong (also spelled Chi Kung or Qigong) is a traditional Chinese practice that involves physical movements, breathing techniques, and meditation to cultivate and balance the body's vital energy, known as "Qi" or "Chi." Qi Gong is part of traditional Chinese medicine and is considered a holistic approach to health and well-being.
Qi Gong is based on the belief that the body's vital energy flows through energy channels or meridians and that practicing Qi Gong can improve the flow of Qi, promoting health and healing. The practice typically involves slow, gentle movements synchronized with deep breathing and a meditative focus.
11:00 am-12:00 pm Brunch
12:00-1:30 pm Inspirational Yin Yoga with Sound Healing
Inspirational Yin Yoga is a transformative practice designed to help participants tap into their inner strength and cultivate a profound sense of peace, purpose, and joy. This class emphasizes the importance of introspection, encouraging individuals to recognize that all change begins within. Through the gentle yet profound nature of yin yoga, participants will hold poses for extended periods, allowing for deep physical and emotional release. Each session will begin with guided meditations to set intentions and open the heart, fostering a space where inspiration can flourish.
As students flow through their practice, they will connect with the soothing sounds of singing bowls, enhancing their meditative experience and promoting a deeper sense of relaxation. Breath work will play a crucial role, serving as a tool to ground thoughts and inspire creativity. By harmonizing body, mind, and spirit, participants will leave the class not only feeling physically rejuvenated but also mentally empowered to pursue their goals with renewed clarity and enthusiasm. This holistic approach creates a nurturing environment where individuals can explore their aspirations and embrace the journey toward their dreams.
1:30-2:00 pm Break
2:00 pm-3:30 pm Pranayama and Icebath
Pranayama, the ancient practice of breath control in yoga, is essential for harmonizing the body and mind. In our sessions, we will explore a variety of breathing techniques, each designed to enhance awareness, increase energy, and promote relaxation. As we practice these exercises, participants will learn how intentional breathing can shift their mental state, allowing them to cultivate resilience and focus. This newfound awareness will be especially beneficial as we transition into the ice bath, where the controlled breath will serve as a powerful tool for managing physical discomfort and emotional reactions.
The ice bath itself offers unique benefits, including reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and enhanced mental clarity. When participants immerse themselves in the cold, they will face a form of external pressure that often mirrors the stressors of daily life. By applying the pranayama techniques learned earlier, individuals can transform their perception of this discomfort, developing a sense of calm and control. This practice not only teaches participants to withstand the cold but also empowers them to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence, reinforcing the profound connection between breath, body, and mind.
3:30-4:00 pm Break
4:00 pm-5:30 pm Singing Circle- Sing From The Heart
Join us for the "Singing Circle: Singing from Your Heart" class at the retreat, where we will explore the transformative power of singing as a means of self-expression and connection. In this session, we will begin with the fundamentals of vocal technique, focusing on strengthening your tone and improving your breath control. You'll learn simple exercises designed to help you find your unique voice, enabling you to sing confidently and clearly.
Once we’ve laid the groundwork, we’ll embark on a musical journey through a variety of healing songs from diverse cultures around the world. Each song will not only enhance your vocal skills but also invite you to connect deeply with the emotions and stories behind the music. This is a space for everyone, regardless of experience, to come together, support one another, and sing from the heart. Let’s embrace the joy of collective singing and discover the profound healing that music can bring!
5:30 pm-6:00 pm Break
6:00 pm-7:00 pm Dinner
7:30 pm-9:30 pm Ecstatic Dance
Ecstatic dance is a liberating and expressive movement practice that invites participants to connect deeply with their bodies and emotions through freeform dance. In our session, I will lead a somatic movement practice designed to help individuals tune into their physical sensations and set personal intentions. This initial phase encourages self-exploration and mindfulness, allowing dancers to become aware of their thoughts and feelings as they move. By fostering a supportive and non-judgmental environment, participants can fully embrace their authentic selves and experience the joy of uninhibited expression.
Following our warm-up, I will transition into a DJ set featuring a diverse range of musical genres, each carefully curated to evoke different emotions and inspire movement. The eclectic soundscape will guide participants on a journey through their inner worlds, encouraging them to express their unique rhythms and energies through dance. This combination of intentional movement and dynamic music creates a powerful space for healing, self-discovery, and connection with others. Participants will leave feeling invigorated and uplifted, having experienced the transformative power of dance as a means of self-expression and community connection.
