Return to Heart Space: Garden Retreat

Creativity, rest, pause, savoring of the present moment... How do you connect to your heart? We'll witness each other, reflect on our innate strengths, and offer wisdom to a sisterhood circle.

During this event, we'll offer three workshops to connect with your body, your senses, and your creative self. Imagine doing yoga in a beautiful, serene garden surrounded by trees, exploring and tasting medicinal herbs and crafting your own soap with easy step-by-step instructions. You can mix and match the workshops and stay till dusk for a high tea experience in a magical fairy garden. We promise cute tea cups and delicious finger sandwiches.
