Daylong Nourishing Retreats

for Women in Larger Bodies

Crescent Moon 1

I invite you to a day of rest, creativity and play to nourish and revitalize your body and soul, held in a beautiful, private home overlooking the ocean.

This retreat is for you if you’d like a gentle and accessible space to just be and explore what feels good for your unique self, slow down and feel held and inspired by the natural beauty around you.

In a safe, supportive small group of women, we will explore gentle, restorative yoga, meditation and movement to find your ground and sense of belonging in and around you, easing you into relaxation and allowing your nervous system to settle, unwind and receive.

A diverse group of people participates in a dance class in a yoga studio with wooden floors, red walls, and mirrors.

You will have the opportunity to experience a time to slow down and find sanctuary in nature. Exploring the outer landscape and nature’s rhythms allows us to slow down and connect with our own natural rhythms, inner nature and find replenishment and aliveness.

It is also a way to appreciate, reconnect and heal our relationship with our body, by deep listening and coming back to our wisdom and intuition.

This is a space where you have the permission to embrace creativity, pleasure, play and joyful movement.

We all have the right to have access to feeling peace, joy, beauty and connection,

no matter what size, shape, age or ability of our body.

The outer landscape may inspire and support us to use its metaphors such as: flowing with the ocean or finding stability and support in the mountains, rocks and trees, and connection with our breath and the rhythm of the waves and wind.

Each retreat will be customized the small groups needs and desires, and may include:

  • walking, being, gentle movement, yoga and meditation in nature

  • expressive arts and writing

  • Guidance in creating a rituals of releasing old stories, stress, and bring in what is nourishing, replenishing and life-affirming

  • Other somatic (body-based) therapeutic processes

  • practices of mindful eating and opening the senses

  • Deep nourishment of connecting to nature

Disclaimer: No movement or art experience necessary. Our use of dance, movement, art, and writing is more focused on the creative process rather than the product. Although, my hope is that this retreat is healing and therapeutic, it is not meant to replace therapy. Your insights and experience may be used to deepen and enliven your current experience in therapy or start a new psychotherapy process.
