Ground your Energies 3 Day Retreat:

Thursday evening (7pm) to Sunday morning (10am)

Yoga Detox Retreat featuring Meditations with Orchid Essences

​

This retreat will take place at a stunning lakeside getaway in Eden, Utah.  Enjoy the breathtaking views of Pineview Reservoir or Snowbasin Ski Resort while sitting on the patio. Directly out the front door is running/bike trail that nearly completely encircles the lake. There are also two kayaks available for use on site. The area is packed with wildlife, rivers, and streams. A great opportunity to relax, and center while connecting to the surrounding beauty.

​

​

Connect with your deepest core essence, and ground that essence into the Earth. Between the practice of yoga, meditation coupled with energy medicine, nature and detoxing food, this will be a weekend of transformation. Yoga helps us connect to the energies inside of us through physical movement and breathe work. We will practice pranayama yoga in the morning, active yoga in the afternoon and restorative yoga in the evening. We will dedicate 2-3 hours per day in meditation, which can help us unlock the mysteries of our thoughts and minds to ascend from limiting perceptions of self. Integrated with energy medicine, this can give us further outside perspectives and energetic pathways that can accelerate the transformative power of meditation. Nature is the ultimate healer of all, spending quality time in silence surrounded by the magic and beauty of natural elements can bring an ease in our being, a patience and a softness that is often lacking in our fast-paced modern society. Plant based cuisine has the potential of releasing a build up of toxins in our system, it also has the potential of restoring and reversing specific ailments that we face, when done appropriately and in tune with our body's needs.
