In the hustle and bustle of modern life, finding moments of true peace and self-discovery can feel like an elusive dream.
But what if that sanctuary isn't as far away as you think?
Welcome to our Reichian Therapy & Pranayama Yoga Intensive — an oasis of self-discovery in the serene wine country that is Sonoma County, California.
Amidst the chaos of our daily routines, it's easy to lose sight of our own well-being. We're constantly bombarded with noise, distractions, and the never-ending demands of a fast-paced world. But deep down, we know there's more to life than this relentless cycle.
Imagine a 2-night retreat where time slows down, and the stresses of everyday life melt away. Here, you'll reconnect with your body through invigorating Pranayama yoga sessions & group drumming, explore the power of Reichian breathwork, and forge meaningful connections with fellow participants.
But this journey isn't just about relaxation—it's about rediscovering yourself in a way you never thought possible. It's about confronting your fears, embracing your strengths, tuning into & observing your emotions, and emerging from the event stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before.
This Valentine's Day weekend retreat is perfect for couples & singles alike who want to fall more in love with life - and themselves!
Thank you SO much for your extraordinary drumming workshop. You did an amazing job facilitating the session and getting this new group into the music.
I love the chanting/singing, the meditation, the checking in about our emotions/physical sensations after drumming, and your ability to be a composer and raise and lower our drum beats.
I felt you really got/understood our group, and spoke from your heart. You truly do have an extraordinary gift and I thank the Universe that we found you. You are deeply appreciated.
