Awakening The Magic Within

A One Day Somatic Healing Retreat

Saturday, May 16 | 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Early Bird: $450 through April 1
Regular Investment: $500
Limited to 10 participants

Awakening The Magic Within is a full day immersive retreat devoted to the body as a sacred site of healing, wisdom, and remembrance.

This offering is rooted in somatic and nervous system based healing practices that support gentle release, embodied safety, and a return to inner listening. Healing here is not about fixing what is broken. It is about honoring what the body has carried and allowing space for softness, pleasure, and regulation to emerge naturally.

Inspired by the energies of Beltane and the sacred body, this retreat weaves together gentle movement, sound, ritual, and creative expression to support healing that feels kind, spacious, and sustainable.

Throughout the day, you will be invited, never required, to engage at your own pace. Rest is always welcome. Choice is always honored.

What We Will Explore

  • Gentle Qigong to cultivate life force and grounded presence

  • An accessible introduction to Emotional Freedom Technique with guided demonstration

  • Somatic practices inspired by Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises, approached slowly and with consent

  • Nervous system education that reframes healing as a spiral, not a destination

  • Seasonal ritual honoring embodiment, desire, and aliveness

Embodied Creative Rituals

  • Aromatherapy Blending
    You will craft a personalized 2 oz aromatherapy blend to support regulation, grounding, or emotional soothing. This blend becomes a practical tool you can return to long after the retreat.

  • Herbal Incense Bundle Creation
    Using plants such as lavender, sage, cedar, and rose, you will create a hand tied incense bundle infused with intention. This ritual anchors the somatic work into a tangible offering of devotion and release.

The Day Includes

  • Endless herbal tea service throughout the day

  • Nourishing catered lunch

  • A curated goodie bag filled with supportive ritual items

  • All materials for embodied crafts and take home creations

  • A deeply restorative closing sound bath

  • Journaling prompts and integration guidance

This retreat is for those who feel called to slow down, listen to their body more deeply, and experience healing as something that can feel gentle, pleasurable, and alive.

No prior experience is needed. Simply come as you are.
