Meditation and Breathing Techniques

Clear your mind and release your stress and tension on a getaway to a meditation session. Our retreat is an excellent place for people of all ages, cultures, and religions to learn techniques for finding inner peace and serenity. Come learn mediation from experienced teachers. Meditation is great for better focus and concentration, improving self-awareness and self-esteem, lowering levels of stress and anxiety, and fostering kindness. Meditation also has benefits for your physical health, as it can improve your tolerance for pain and help fight substance addiction.​ The meditation session will be led by Nikki Levine Bustos owner of  Breathe & Balance.

Yoga Workshop

Yoga is a great way to get fit and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere at the same time. Learn the basics or build on what you already know about this ancient healing art that can improve flexibility, increase muscle tone, and reduce stress and high blood pressure. Yoga is great for relieving stress, reducing muscle tension, strain, and inflammation, sharpening attention and concentration, and calming and centering the nervous system. Yoga will be led by Rebekah Mason with Thomas the Apostle Center 

​

Reflexology

Throughout the day hand and foot reflexology will be offered to our participants. Reflexology is a massage technique that puts pressure on various reflex points around your hands and feet. The belief is that these points correlate to different body parts and that massaging the points can help to relieve symptoms in other areas of the body. Our trained reflexologist, Samantha Jones, owner of Catharsis Spa in Cody is excited to offer this hand and foot massage to you.

Creativity Workshop

This year we are excited to welcome Erin Brindle with New Creations Counseling and Art Therapy for our Creativity workshop. Erin will be guiding us with an alcohol ink creation. This is an amazing relaxation technique that brings peace and calmness to the mind. You just need to play with the Ink until you are satisfied with the result. It doesn’t have any pre-defined rules to work with this technique, all you need to do is go with the flow and enjoy the process. Erin is a strong believer that art is for everyone, and that it should be a fun, relaxing, and intuitive process for everyone participating.

Sound Bath Workshop

Sound bath allows your body to go into another meditative experience, through sound only. Here you are “bathed” in sound waves. These waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, tuning forks, and even the human voice itself. The music is a carefully selected wash of instruments and voices with notable resonance and overtones. We will be ending the session while your body rests and takes in all the sounds to relax and meditate. The Sound Bath will be led by Jessica Esterly with Heart Felt Impressions.

​

Tai Chi

Tai chi is a gentle form of exercise that can help reduce stress, improve mood, and keep your heart healthy. But most importantly, it can also benefit your bones. Tai chi is a practice that involves a series of slow gentle movements and physical postures, a meditative state of mind, and controlled breathing. Tai chi originated as an ancient martial art in China. Over the years, it has become more focused on health promotion and rehabilitation. Tai chi is sometimes described as meditation in motion because it promotes serenity through gentle movements — connecting the mind and body. Tai Chi will be led by Dawn Garrison.
