Hello Building the New Earth members!
I am so happy to announce an online event that allows those of you outside of Ottawa, Ontario to join us in conversation, and participate in the intentional community we have been building at meetings in person!
This is going to be a great live session on Zoom, exploring a 9-day retreat that Lise Picard and I are collaborating on in my second home in Mindo, Ecuador in late October—with breathwork, movement, nature immersion & ceremony. It's going to be absolutely amazing! Join our free 1-hour live intro to hear all about it.
Hope to see you out! ~ Alison
--------------------------
In times of deep change—both within and around us—we’re being called to pause, reconnect, and remember who we truly are.
Join Lise Picard and Alison Braun for a live, one-hour gathering of insight, connection, and clarity as they share a transformational journey rooted in nature, ritual, and renewal—set in the heart of Ecuador’s lush cloud forest.
About this Event
Feeling the call to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level?
This is your invitation to explore the Sacred Reset Retreat—a deeply transformational experience in Mindo, Ecuador that weaves together SOMA Breath, Kundalini Yoga, plant medicine, sweat lodge, deep nature immersion, and ceremony to support your personal growth and energetic renewal.
In this free one-hour live gathering, you’ll:
- Discover the heart of the Sacred Reset Retreat—including what to expect from San Pedro (Huachuma) ceremony and the deeply purifying sweat lodge, both held with great care, intention, and ancestral wisdom.
- Experience how daily practices like SOMA Breath and Kundalini Yoga gently regulate the nervous system, unlock inner clarity, and open the body as a channel for transformation.
- Feel into the energy of Mindo, Ecuador—a lush cloud forest sanctuary where the land itself becomes part of the medicine. Surrounded by waterfalls, hummingbirds, and mist-covered trees, healing unfolds naturally.
- Ask your questions, connect with the hosts, and get an intimate glimpse into the retreat’s flow, intentions, and transformational potential.
- Step out of your routine and into resonance—this is your invitation to pause, listen inward, and explore the path toward deep inner reset.
Whether you’re simply curious or already feeling the call, this evening will meet you right where you are.
