Exploring Sacred Ground
A Day Retreat
Immerse yourself in a day of reflection, connection, and rejuvenation at our day retreat, "Exploring Sacred Ground," nestled in the tranquil setting of a picturesque vineyard.
This retreat offers:
Throughout the day, participants will engage in enriching activities designed to heal both the planet and the soul. Learn about the principles of organic farming and sustainable gardening, and discover how these practices not only benefit the environment but also enhance our wellbeing. Gain insights into a holistic lifestyle that aligns with nature's rhythms and promotes inner harmony.
- Our retreat features a variety of meditation practices that open pathways to the sacred.
- Participate in a cacao ceremony to set your intention for the day, an ancient ritual that connects us with the heart and fosters gratitude.
- Experience the grounding practice of forest bathing, which harmonizes our energy with that of the earth.
- Chant mantras that elevate the spirit, and delve into the deep relaxation of yoga nidra, a guided meditation that rejuvenates the body and mind.
In addition to these meditative practices, enjoy a session of restorative yoga with the added benefits of Reiki and hands-on assists, designed to release tension and promote deep relaxation. This gentle yoga practice is suitable for all levels and aims to restore balance and vitality.
At midday, savor a nourishing lunch featuring a vibrant array of organic garden vegetables and locally sourced foods. This wholesome meal not only delights the senses but also underscores the retreat’s commitment to sustainability and wellness.
As the afternoon unfolds, the retreat will culminate in a closing ceremony, fostering a sense of community and shared reflection. Gather around for a vegetarian charcuterie, thoughtfully prepared with the finest ingredients, and indulge in an organic wine tasting that showcases the exceptional offerings of the vineyard. This concluding celebration provides a perfect moment to savor the connections made and the experiences shared throughout the day.
Join us for "Exploring Sacred Ground" and embark on a day of self-discovery, sacred connection, and holistic healing in the heart of nature.
