Exploring Our Death to Liberate Our Lives
January 23–26, 2025
Healing Workshops, On Land Retreats, Personal Transformation, Yoga, Wellness & Embodied Living
The fear of death, our own and our loved ones, is one of our greatest fears. How would we live our lives differently if we contemplated and even practiced this ultimate letting go?
This powerful workshop explores both our personal relationship with death and dying and the practice of holding sacred space for others to explore this great mystery.
We begin the retreat with transformational conversation about what is often left unspoken on the topic of death. Throughout our time together, we explore what feels unfinished and unexpressed in our lives if we were to die today.
Included throughout the weekend are sound healing and embodiment practices, designed to support us in releasing fear and opening to the eternal aspects of our being.
The peak practice is Savasana, the ancient Yogic practice for death, which teaches us how to align our mind and body in ways that encourage the deepest release on every level.
No previous yoga experience is required. All are welcome.
This retreat will provide the opportunity to:
- Cultivate the presence and tools needed to face fears related to death and dying
- Connect with the courage and clarity to live your life more fully and joyfully
- Release the past through forgiveness and gratitude
- Deepen your capacity for compassionate connection with yourself and others
- Open to the eternal aspects of your being, who you are beyond form
