Root & Rise Women Empowerment Mini Retreat

What is the source of your power? How do you tap into your strength from a rested, deeply connected place? How do you rise and bloom strongly rooted? We'll explore these and other questions during this retreat. We'll witness each other, reflect on our innate strengths, and offer wisdom to a sisterhood circle.

During this event, you’ll be guided on an embodied, sensory nature exploration in a beautful secluded forest, feel the magic of restorative outdoor yoga and equestrian therapy, and participate in a mindful tea ceremony.
