Half-Day Retreat: Breathwork, Connection, Sound Healing, & Cold Plunge

Into the Wild Within: A Half-Day Healing Retreat with Conscious Connected Breathwork, Sound Healing, & (optional, yet recommended!!) Cold Immersion ❄️🎶🌬️

We are very excited to be hosting a half-day retreat for our community, incorporating breathwork and embodiment, restorative sound healing and the beautiful medicine of cold water immersion (you'll love it once you try it!!)

Into the Wild Within is an invitation to slow down, soften the pace, and journey inward through a thoughtfully curated blend of Conscious Connected Breathwork, live sound healing, and guided cold immersion.

Together, these practices offer powerful pathways for nervous system regulation, emotional release, embodied resilience, and deeper connection with yourself and others.

Our day together will begin by gathering in circle in our beautiful garden space, setting intentions, and arriving gently into the body through mindful movement and guided connection practices. Together, we'll create a supportive space where you are invited to show up exactly as you are.

The heart of our immersion is a Conscious Connected Breathwork journey, accompanied by the soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls and handpan. Through the breath, we begin to move beyond the busy thinking mind and into the wisdom of the body—creating space to release tension, process emotion, and reconnect with the deeper intelligence that already lives within us.

As the breathwork comes to completion, you'll be held in an extended live sound healing experience, allowing your nervous system time to integrate, settle, and absorb the journey. This spacious period of rest often becomes one of the most nourishing moments of the day.

After sharing, reflection, and time to enjoy fresh fruit and tea together, those who feel called will be invited into a guided cold immersion experience.

Working with the cold is not about pushing through discomfort or forcing yourself beyond your limits. Rather, it is an opportunity to explore your relationship with challenge while supported by your breath, your awareness, and the encouragement of community.

With gentle guidance and live music accompanying the experience, we'll enter the cold to activate our inner strength, presence, and trust! (You will feel amazing afterwards - I promise!)

Throughout our afternoon together, you'll discover how breath, sound, and cold each invite us into the same essential practice: returning to ourselves with curiosity, courage, and compassion.

Whether this is your first experience with these modalities or you've joined us before - you're welcome just as you are!
