Women's Self-Care Retreat
With Gloria Baraquio, Christine DeCristofaro, Kamali Minter, Heldine Aguiluz, Stephanie Kate and Kimberly Millard
November 1 - 4, 2018
Due to high demand, we are offering a second chance to participate in one of our most popular and profound programs before we say, “Good-bye” to 2018.
Are you hungry for a safe place to connect, open up and get grounded so that you can end this year on a high note?
Come together with fellow women to celebrate our innate strength, wisdom, and compassion. We will celebrate the importance of connecting with girlfriends and remember all the beautiful parts of being a woman. This time is to reconnect to the sacred feminine and cultivate a community of sisterhood and solidarity through deep listening, laughter, self-care, and ceremony. This retreat is for you if you love women, miss your sisters, or want to deepen your relationship with the feminine, soft, sexy, strong, surrendered parts of yourself.
This weekend will include:
- Yoga for all levels
- Meditation
- Visioning
- Dance & Movement
- Bodywork and massage (at an additional cost)
- AND MORE
