Wellness and Self-Care is our whole self – Mind/Body/Spirit/Emotions
This fun, interactive retreat style workshop is my personal invitation to your very own Indigenized Self-Care Retreat. This Retreat is a Women’s Wellness Collective created with our Whole-listic (whole person/realistic approach) to health, healing and happiness in mind. Hear ways to take self-back to balance and deeply nourish the Mind, Body, Spirit and Emotions. Workshop includes Movement is our Medicine with restorative movement from a seated position from the comfort of our chairs, learning ways to slow, gentle movements, and controlled mindful breathing. You do not need experience in yoga or Tai chi — just an open heart and mind. (All adaptations welcomed)
In closing, participants will journey through a relaxing meditation and explore healing, gratitude, and inner peace giving the mind and body a much-needed break.
