Itinerary
The days will start off with sunrise meditations and yoga that focus on gratitude, self-love, and body acceptance. Each day you will be immersed in and connected to nature, engage in gentle movements, and work on yourself with self-exploration and personal growth workshops. You will become aware of what has been holding you back by exploring your fears, limiting beliefs, excuses, and narratives and then create specific goals and a vision to get you to where you want to be. During the retreat you will create a personal intention jar, wisdom bracelet, and vision board. You'll be immersed in a sound bowl journey to further promote healing, relaxation, and harmony between your mind and body.
You will eat delicious food provided by our private chef, enjoy outdoor excursions, and take part in interactive activities. You will get individual attention and a pre and post retreat Zoom meeting with your host, Larisa. You'll be treated to a rejuvenating facial and receive personalized skin care guidance by a talented local esthetician. The retreat is balanced with ample free-time to do whatever you may like.
In addition to attending to your spiritual and personal growth, you will be amongst a small group of like-minded women who you will make authentic and genuine connections with in a private, serene location.
Leaving The Retreat
You will leave the retreat feeling deeply connected to yourself with a newfound awareness of what has been holding you back and an action plan to get to where you want to be. The retreat will equip you with new skills and knowledge to immediately implement into your life.
The Foundation
With all of that said, the foundation for this retreat is kindness, comfort, and acceptance. You can come knowing that you will be included, accepted, and comfortable above all else. And, of course, you will have lots of FUN!
