Hello!
If you are anything like me, you see all of these international retreats and drool over them while stomping your feet in a tantrum because you literally cannot get away (or at least that far). Whether it be that you are a business owner, boss babe, mom of 2 or 4-legged littles that need you, or just live in the world of a little more reality and a little less luxury, YOU still deserve time and a safe space for some empowerment, appreciation, and deep inner work too! For all of these reasons, local retreats work best for me and I hope that you will join me this October for your own little get-away that will allow you the closeness of real life but also the luxury of an oceanfront home with nothing but time and activities designed to help you explore yourself.
What to expect:
3 days, 3 night soul filling retreat spent at an oceanfront home on Carolina Beach, NC with private beach access. Heated pool, hot tub, and game room. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (2 nights; 1 night out not included) provided. This retreat is focused on connecting to/healing our inner child through play so you can expect a lot of fun, silly activities like ice cream sundaes, 90’s music dance party, pjs + popcorn and movie night, cannonball contests, painting, and maybe a even a little howling at the moon. In addition, the weekend will include daily yoga, meditation, cacao ceremony, mindfulness and somatic work, art and journaling, as well as group sessions to build support and push us to reconnect with our earliest, free spirited inner knowing. Expect introspective, intuitive, soul filling activities in each session facilitated by Stephanie Vlad who is a Master's level Psychologist with 16 years of experience in empowering humans to reach their truest potential.
At this year's retreat, we're focusing on connecting with our inner child through play. My inner child thrives in collaboration and playtime with friends so I’ve invited a few of the brightest, lightest, most free, authentic big kids I know to come share their inner joy and gifts with us. You can expect a cacao ceremony + inner child meditation with Katie, playful arts & crafts session with Jackie, and 90's dance party yoga with Mandy (and she said she’d teach us a breakdance move or two). Katie will also be offering massages should you wish to add on this service. Save your spot today!
