Join me, Emily Fleming, ERYT-500, for this long weekend retreat in the beautiful Mendocino Valley of California as we tap into the wisdom of our hearts.
On this retreat, we'll spend 4 nights stripping away the noise of the outside word as we move, breathe, and connect to the wisdom that lies within our hearts.
What is your heart calling for and calling forth?
Our home for this retreat, WhisperTree Retreat Center offers us the perfect backdrop to drop-in. Nestled on 600 acres, about 2 hours north of San Francisco in the beautiful Anderson Valley of Mendocino County. Anderson Valley is known for it's wines and picturesque scenery, including a beautiful redwood forest at Hendy Woods State Park, about 15-minutes from our retreat center. This is a truly magical area of the country, where nourishing your body, mind, and spirit with fresh and local food and the stunning vistas is on the daily agenda.
Our retreat center boasts miles of walking trails through the relatively undisturbed land, an outdoor cedar hot tub perfect for unwinding at the end of the day, and beautifully appointed rooms.
We'll begin each morning with an active yoga practice designed to help us peel away the layers so we can listen more clearly to what lies within our hearts. A beautiful, locally sourced brunch (dietary restrictions will be accommodated) will follow, catered by a local chef.
From there, you'll have the freedom to feel into the day, and follow your heart's desire, whether that's walking the trails, sunbathing outside with a good book, explore the beautiful Anderson Valley, or simply just be.
A light snack will be available in the afternoons for those seeking nourishment before we meet again for either a late afternoon or evening restorative practice, designed to support us in getting quiet and still so we can hear the whispers our heart is sharing.
We'll enjoy dinner together each evening, as we break bread and connect, heart to heart with each other.
On our last evening together, we'll venture out into one of the surrounding towns for a final dinner out.
Take 4-nights before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season to reset and recalibrate for the year ahead, as you quiet your mind, and tap into the wisdom of your heart.
