Dear Beloveds,
You are radiant. You are Light. Can you feel the calling back to yourself? Journey with us into the Heart of your Being.
The Radiant Soul Retreat is a restful and introspective journey inward through the five koshas, the subtle bodies of the human energetic system. Curated to revitalize the sacred relationship with your Inner Self, this full-day retreat at the beautiful Sky Pond Retreat employs the healing arts of reiki, sound, yoga, meditation, and silence, as well as the serenity of nature, to venture deep into the peace and radiance that exist within the core of You.
We commence our day with a welcoming celebration, featuring a ceremonial smudging with sacred herbs and resins to purify our space, our minds, our hearts, and switch into a state of meditative ease and relaxation. After greetings and introductions, we begin our journey inward with the outermost kosha: the physical body. Honoring this outer layer of Self, we use our senses to become fully alive in our surroundings, feeling our lungs fill with lush and fragrant Fall air, squishing our toes through soft moss in a meditative walk along the pond, taking in the visceral wonders of Nature, and listening to the calming songs of wildlife. We invite awareness to saturate our bodies as we move through gentle yogic poses designed to balance, align, and connect to our breath and to the free-flowing second kosha of prana, the life force energy that flows in and around us.
Breaking for a wholesome lunch and inviting our senses to experience the taste and nourishment of sustenance, we begin to deepen through the subtle bodies into the layer of mind, using breath work and guided imagery to notice and quiet our thoughts. We then move into a nourishing sound bath composed to drop us into the fourth kosha of inner wisdom, escorting us into resonance with our own Radiant Souls, where we find shelter and respite, rest and inner healing. As we gently taper off into quietness, we reach the innermost subtle body: spaciousness, the layer of bliss and oneness with All That Is. Here we welcome a two-hour period of silence, introspection and peace, filling the space beyond words with our own unique experience and whatever is most needed in our journey.
In full circle style, we end the way we began: together in community for blessings, shares, and ceremony. This intentional and soul-filled retreat will align you back to what is most important in your life, to who you truly are, and what is most nourishing for your whole being.
