EMBRACING BALANCE
November 23, 2024 @ 9:30 am - November 24, 2024 @ 5:00 pm
Release Stress. Receive Healing
Join Soo and Satori, both highly experienced Facilitators, for two days of transformation in the tranquil NSW Southern Highlands. This retreat is designed specifically for those seeking a calmer and more balanced life, offering the healing power of horses, breathwork and nature.
Equine & breath Immersion
To access states of calm, ease, joy and fulfillment, we must work with both body and mind to create balance. Through guided breathwork journeys and equine interactions, you will release stored stresses and reconnect with yourself in a supportive, nurturing environment.
Healing for trauma
This weekend offers a safe environment for your nervous system to relax and reset, allowing true, lasting healing. This is not a temporary solution. This is a chance to let go of old stresses and experience profound change.
We promise you will leave feeling lighter and more at peace.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This weekend retreat is for adults who are longing for a better way to live – a life with more ease, clarity and resilience.
It’s perfect for anyone seeking greater emotional stability, mental clarity, and who wish to feel more resourced to handle life’s challenges.
Breathwork for anxiety
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to lose touch with our inner selves. The constant pressure leads to anxiety, depression, overwhelm and physical symptoms of stress. These are all symptoms of a body and mind out of balance.
Time for YOU. Time to receive. Time for self-care
This weekend retreat offers the perfect opportunity to step away from the busyness and immerse yourself in a nurturing environment focussed on healing and transformation.
With over two decades of experience nurturing others, your facilitators will guide you in reconnecting with yourself, offering tools to calm your nervous system and release trauma.
We look forward to welcoming you to our sanctuary of peace, tranquillity and shift.
UNDERSTANDING BALANCE: HOW TO UNLOCK YOUR INNER CALM
In the pursuit of creating balance within, understanding how we got where we are (through conditioning and life experiences) and the ways we can work with the natural design of our body and mind is key.
Alongside interactive education segments, you will engage in practical experiences, and leave with new tools and strategies to foster balance in your daily life.
You will learn how your nervous system works (the key to how we experience stress), and how breath ties into this system.
Discover ways to manage emotions and stress so you can show up in life with more presence, clarity and joy.
Experience profound shifts during your equine therapy sessions, helping you release what no longer serves you and embrace a new way of BE-ing.
