Deep Roots: deep embodiment through movement and writing
This one-day retreat workshop for women combines the powerful and transformational practices of 5Rhythms™ moving meditation and Life Source Writing™.
When we take time for rejuvenation and reflection, as well as listening deeply to the wisdom of the body, we have an opportunity to access our inner clarity, knowledge, intuition and well-being. When we set our intention to fully embody ourselves we can find and feel a deeper grounding presence that is guided from within us.
Join us to come together for movement, writing, inspiration, creative self-expression and cultivation of our deep roots.
