This was such a diverse and beautiful group with women literally from all walks of life and five different states. Our common ground? Love for yoga, nature, good food, community, and purpose in life.
The unique dome house below was the venue for this retreat – offering beautiful spaces for yoga both in- and outside, private bed- and bathrooms, a quiet Reiki room, and chef kitchen, located secluded down by the river with its own access to tubing. The best part, the entire house was shielded from EMF – deep sleep, quiet, and fasting from electronics! Like at every other of my retreats, each woman received a 1-hour 1-on-1 Reiki and health coaching session.
Vortex energy everywhere!
Hiking in Sedona heals and expands the heart chakra. Allowing ourselves to be spacious and open creates a sense of free-flowing energy – for adventure and courage, for playfulness and connection medicine, for giving and receiving love.
