About The Event
Rise with the Sun is an invitation to enter and hold space for the magic of the Vernal Equinox.  This seasonal magic represents the earth waking from its wintery slumber, a birthing into spring, and a call to embrace the fire element. In this retreat you are encouraged to spend time on the land, experiencing connection to self, to nature, and to others as we embrace intentional waking of the fire in our bellies and  our spirits.  If the thought of embracing your inner light and owning the power of your story echos in your heart, I invite you to connect with other individuals during this sacred and energetic celebration.  The connection to self, to others, and to the land will leave you feeling refreshed and grounded as you bloom where you are planted. Features of this retreat include: • Daily yoga practice • Meditation ceremony with fire at each of the sacred sites on Hope Springs land • Discussion activities and exploration through art and craft to stir self reflection and creativity • Delicious meals, with options for food sensitivities (7 meals total, plus snacks) • All inclusive rate of $320/person for 2 nights, 3 days
        • Option of Private and Double Occupancy rooms.
