Softening into Presence:
A Day of Rest & Renewal

✨ NEW DATE ✨
Saturday, Dec. 12 | 10:30am - 4pm

Hosted at Sky Pond in Apex, NC

Come and receive the gifts of rest for your body, mind, and soul.

Life has a way of keeping us busy, distracted, and running from one thing to the next. This day retreat at the serene Sky Pond is an invitation to slow down and care for yourself, as we journey into the darkest part of the year. Together we will practice softening into presence through gentle yoga, breathwork, quiet time in nature, and the supportive companionship of other lovely humans.

You’re welcome to come just as you are.

~If you are holding big and heavy stuff, you are welcome.

~If you are weary and kind of worn down, you are welcome.

~If you need a break and a deep breath, you are welcome.

Retreat flow details:

  • Arrival and settling in, including introductions and intention-setting for the day

  • Gentle yoga session with restorative poses, breathwork, and journaling prompts to help you tune in and come back to your body

  • Nourishing lunch (honoring food sensitivities) with time for connection and conversation

  • Quiet solo time for being in nature, writing, meditating, yoga, getting crafty, watching the birds, napping… whatever feels restorative to you

  • Afternoon tea time with seasonal snacks as we come back together

  • Closing fireside circle (weather permitting) for reflecting, sharing and integrating the retreat experience

~An easeful day for less doing… and more being~
