RetreatS
North Shore Maui (4 nights- 5 Days)
Winter Solstice Retreat
Before the pandemic times, in 2020, Jenna had planned a Sacred Earth, Sweet Sadana Retreat on North Shore Maui at Hale Akua Farm and Retreat Center. After many seasons of growth, we return for a ceremonial, Winter Solstice Retreat, including:
Self-Awareness Sadhanas - Yin-Yang Yoga, Chant, Qigong, Taoist Standing Meditation, Sacred Silence,
Communal Activations - Trance Dance, Facilitated Breathwork Ceremony, Partner & Group Authentic Relating, Constellations Work, Cacao Ceremony, Land-based prayer, Song and Sacred Fire.
Relfection Time - Periods of Sacred Silence for immersion in nature, and optional bodywork/private facilitation.
Ayurvedic Meals - Nourishing, ancient food practices for restoration and balance.
In all our retreats we use a combination of anchoring participants in their purpose - along with uprooting emotional learnings to Reset the Nervous System. Self-regulation practices are not enough to keep the Nervous System regulated in uncertain times, rather being rooted in individual purpose and clearing the emotional learnings that keep us from building healthy, and aligned relationships/allies is key.
At this time on the planet, grief work is always part of a Sacred Container, as is honoring and giving back to the land and spaces we inhabit. Our intent with this Soltice Retreat is to go deeply and lovingly into prayer for the duration of the retreat, and give all participants a chance to move in community, what they may have been attempting to “hold alone”. And then to bring that process to completion through joy, laughter, dance, and ceremony - this sequence is what our neurobiology needs to create long-lasting change.
OPENING CIRCLE DEC. 18 7-9 pm (Soup & Check-In Dinner Avail 5 pm onwards)
NOTE: We may be asking participants to arrive 1 Day early for a day of SEVA - service to a local organization.
