An Autumn Mini Retreat for Letting Go & Returning to Your Heart
The trees teach us that letting go is not an ending—it is an act of trust.”
As autumn unfolds, nature gently reminds us that there is beauty in releasing what no longer serves us. Just as the leaves fall with grace, we too are invited to let go of old stories, expectations, and anything that feels heavy, creating space for peace, clarity, and renewal.
Join me for a nourishing 4-hour mini retreat inspired by Aparigraha, the yogic practice of non-attachment, and the wisdom of the autumn season. Through the teachings of yoga, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Reiki, we will explore how the simple act of letting go can bring us back to ourselves.
Weather permitting, we will begin outdoors with a gentle oceanfront walking meditation, allowing the rhythm of the waves, the fresh autumn air, and the beauty of the changing season to ground us in the present moment. We will then gather indoors for gentle movement, guided meditation, self-reflection, journaling, and heartfelt connection in a welcoming and supportive circle.
Our retreat concludes with a deeply restorative yoga practice accompanied by Reiki and soothing sound healing, offering you the opportunity to rest, receive, and integrate the day's experience in a peaceful and nurturing space.
Together, we will:
Enjoy a mindful oceanfront walking meditation (weather permitting)
Experience gentle yoga inspired by the energy of autumn
Learn about Aparigraha, the Yoga Sutra of letting go
Reflect through guided journaling
Share in meaningful connection with each other.
Rest deeply during a restorative yoga practice with Reiki
Enjoy herbal tea and a thoughtful seasonal gift to take home
As the leaves fall, may we remember that every release creates space for something new to grow.
Come exactly as you are, and leave feeling lighter, grounded, and deeply connected to yourself.
