About the event
Discover Your Inner Wilderness: A Retreat in Big Sur
Join us for a transformative journey into the heart of Big Sur's untamed beauty at "Return to the Wild." This three-day retreat, from September 20-23, offers a sanctuary for reflection, growth, and deep connection with nature.
Day 1: Embrace the Silence
Friday sets the tone with a silent hike up the majestic mountains of Big Sur, where every step resonates with the tranquility of the wilderness. Upon reaching our destination, engage in the meditative art of creating mandalas, followed by an expressive dance session exploring the 5 rhythms of movement. As the day draws to a close, savor a nourishing dinner in silent reflection, culminating in a soundbath for a peaceful night's rest.
Day 2: Illuminate Your Shadows
Saturday invites you to delve deeper into self-discovery. Begin with introductions over a wholesome breakfast, setting the stage for exploring your inner world and personal shadows. What holds you back? What no longer serves you? Through the ancient ritual of creating prayer ties, align yourself with the energies of the four directions, establishing boundaries and finding solace in the natural world. After lunch, immerse yourself in Kelly Work, a unique approach to spiritual and emotional healing, followed by a thoughtful debriefing session and a communal dinner under the stars. Conclude the evening with ceremonial cacao and fireside rhythmic drumming bringing us back to our roots and acknowledging our ancestors.
Day 3: Reconnect and Shine
Sunday begins with rejuvenating movement, harmonizing body and spirit as the morning sun bathes the landscape. Reflect on what makes your inner light shine brightest. We will learn a technique for embodied guidance - guided by pendulum work to discern your path forward with clarity and confidence.
The retreat culminates in a joyous dance in the forest - a celebration of liberation and connection, where participants come together in joyful abandon, celebrating newfound insights and connections forged amidst the wilderness of Big Sur.
