A Retreat for You to Tend to Your Inner Light
August 22-24, 2025 in McCall, ID
A woman’s radiance doesn’t come from her appearance, it comes from her energy. Her radiance is uncovered when she clears the noise, sheds the “shoulds”, and chooses to live in alignment with her body, her intuition, and her soul.
We are welcoming ten women to join us at a private lake front property in Black Hawk Lake community near McCall, ID. This weekend will NURTURE you. It will open your heart to experience more joy, and inspire you to see more beauty in your ordinary life.
This retreat is for women who want to find peace within themselves. A space for you to be fully you and know that you are enough. In Ayurveda, this is called svastha, which translates to “abiding in the self”. This is an invitation for you to remember your natural state of wholeness. You’ll leave feeling renewed, radiant, and reconnected to the essence of who you are—more in love with yourself and with life.
Included will be:
Daily Yoga - Gentle asanas and kriyas to connect to your body & awaken your energy
Rose Tea Ceremony - A heart opening practice to calm the mind and soothe the soul
Ayurveda-Inspired Meals - Artfully prepared, seasonal, nourishing food
Afternoon Yoga Nidra - A guided journey into rest, repair, and surrender

“Her nervous system had been through so much. She decided to spend the rest of her life calming the inflammation. Thoughts, feelings, memories, behavior, relations. She soothed it all with deep, Loving breaths, and gentle practices. The softer she became with herself, the softer she became with the world, which became softer with her. She birthed a new cycle: Peace.”

Self-Massage
Abyangha is an Ayurveda massage with warm oil that nourishes and increases resiliency for the body and the nervous system. Warm oil softens the tissues, improves circulation, and helps the body detoxify through the skin. It is also a wonderful way that you can heal your relationship with your body. While you massage you will offer gratitude for all of the ways that your body supports you. When practiced with this energy, self-massage is an act of love.

Herbal Infusions
This is natural medicine in a cup. Herbal infusions are stronger than tea & are enjoyed warm or cold. They are the simplest way to get the power of plants into your life. There are unique combinations of herbs that help with stress, lethargy, too hot, too dry, etc. We will learn how to make a few different blends together and enjoy drinking throughout our weekend.
