Simple Moves: Reconnecting with Your Body
De West
This three-class series invites women to reconnect with their bodies through simple, therapeutic movement. Each class explores three essential pillars of De's yoga therapy: nervous system awareness, strength and stability, and range of motion and flexibility. Through accessible movements, breath, and mindful exploration, we’ll learn to notice what our bodies are communicating, build a sense of support and stability, and gently restore movement where it may have become restricted. There is no goal of achieving a particular pose. Rather, we’ll explore movement as a way to listen, adapt, and rebuild trust in our bodies.
Exploring Food & Body Relationship
Caroline Cohen
In this interactive workshop, Caroline will help you explore what it means to find peace in the body you have today and greater ease with food, while still making intentional choices. Drawing from Intuitive Eating and body image work, we will explore how pleasure, hunger, satisfaction, nutrition, and personal preferences all have a place at the table.
You’ll leave with tools for building a resilient relationship with food and your body so caring for yourself brings more ease, not more stress.

Arriving: A Guided Writing Circle
Liza Patrick
This gentle, guided writing circle offers an opportunity to arrive more fully into the retreat—to slow down, turn inward, and listen for what may be asking for your attention. Through poetry, thoughtfully chosen prompts, and periods of quiet writing and gentle sharing, Liza will invite participants to reflect on what they are carrying with them, what they may be ready to set down, and what they hope to receive from their time together. The practice will help each woman begin to discover and set an intention for the days ahead, while leaving room for whatever may emerge along the way. No writing experience is needed, and there is no expectation to produce anything polished or “good.” Simply come as you are, with a willingness to listen inward and see what finds its way onto the page.
Self Lymphatic Drainage

Beyond Physical: Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Contributions to Physical Health
Dr. Marisa Soski
In this workshop we will discuss the deeper levels of our human experience - the mental, emotional, and spiritual - and how they influence our physical health and manifestation of disease. You will get to explore these concepts for yourself, reflecting on possible disturbances in these levels and how they relate to your own experience of health.
Intentional Creativity Painting Workshop
Deborah Fryer
Intentional Creativity is like meditation and mantra with a paintbrush in your hand. It’s deeply nourishing and integrating to the nervous system. Experience the pleasure of painting, playing, expressing, and exploring with color, movement and mark making. Access your pure and wild imagination. Move stuck or stagnant energy so you can experience flow, joy, and peace as your natural state.
We’ll practice a variety of techniques to expand your perception and free your mind. This will help you can gain insight into the presence that is usually hidden from you, hear your own true voice, and listen to your deepest wisdom. Discover how paint and water can create worlds within worlds. Explore how painting can be a portal for transformation, healing, and self-awareness.
Healing Resonance: A Restorative Voice & Sound Journey
Rebecca Abraxas
A gentle 90-minute experience designed to nurture the body, mind, and spirit through voice, vibration, and sound. Rebecca will guide you through simple, accessible vocal practices to encourage self-expression, emotional release, and reconnection—no singing experience needed. The experience then flows into an immersive sound journey with voice, crystal singing bowls, and therapeutic instruments, inviting deep rest, restoration, and a renewed sense of inner harmony.
Grief Processing Workshop
Alexis Rebane
Grief is complex. There are different sources, types, and stages of grief. It shapeshifts and evolves, while simultaneously an individual and collective experience. Though grief is ancient and universal, we each have a unique relationship with it. In this session, you will be guided through the creation of a personal grief plan.
Death cafe
Alexis Rebane
At a Death Cafe people gather to eat cake, drink tea, and discuss death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session. The objective is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping you make the most of your (finite) life.
