Embracing Stillness Day Retreat
A Winter Retreat of Connection & Grounding.
Saturday, February 1, 2025 @ 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Take a pause this winter for a beautiful day of connection and healing. Calm the nervous system with gentle yoga, breathwork and sound healing sessions, nourish your soul with a delicious lunch, and meditate amongst the quiet wisdom of the trees.
Morning Awakening ~ Gentle Yoga & Breathwork with Sheena
- Enjoy a soothing yoga flow crafted to release stress and tension from your body. Through mindful breathwork and gentle movements, you’ll create space for healing on all levels. Shake off all that does not serve you – tuning into your body and breath – while bringing yourself into balance and alignment for the journey ahead.
Roots of Stillness ~ Meditation with Nicole
- Step into the tranquil embrace of winter’s stillness, where the wisdom of the trees invites you to slow down and listen. Trees stand as profound symbols of balance, connecting the grounded strength of the earth with the expansive openness of the sky. Through their silent presence, they remind us of our own innate ability to bridge the physical and spiritual, grounding deeply while reaching toward greater awareness. In this guided meditation with Nicole Laureen, you’ll be held by the serenity of the forest, exploring a deeper connection to your body, spirit, and the natural world. Let the peaceful energy of winter awaken your inner stillness, leaving you refreshed and reconnected to yourself and the beauty that surrounds you.
Harmonic Realignment ~ Sound Journey with Nicole
- To complete your day of retreat, Nicole will guide you through a transformative hour-long Sound Journey. Immerse yourself in the healing frequencies of crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, rattles, and channeled vocals, each woven together to create a deeply restorative experience. This journey invites you to release tension, reset your energetic body, and realign with your natural state of harmony. As the soothing vibrations wash over you, your body finds deep rest while your mind opens to the magic of otherworldly realms. Let yourself be carried into a space of profound relaxation and renewal, where time stands still, and healing unfolds effortlessly.

Fascial Release & Nervous System Reset ~ Bodywork
This transformative hour-long bodywork session is designed to help release stored fight-or-flight responses held within the body, providing profound relief and restoration. Performed in the nurturing fetal position on both sides, gentle yet intentional pressure is applied along the entire side body, giving the fascial system feedback to release and reset. The fetal position creates an optimal environment for nervous system care, allowing deep relaxation and a sense of safety. This work supports the body in discharging stress, calming the mind, and inviting a state of grounded renewal.
Fascial Facial Release
This unique hour-long treatment is not your typical facial. Instead of cleansing, the focus is on releasing stress and tension in the fascial system of the face, head, neck, and chest. This approach offers a natural face lifting effect while supporting a full-body reset through the vagus nerve, which runs through the neck and connects to the facial muscles. The session concludes with an internal buccal and masseter muscle release in the jaw, providing deep relief and relaxation. This profound experience not only revitalizes your appearance but also soothes the nervous system, leaving you feeling balanced and enlivened.
