Welcome, friend, to Open Sky where you will immediately feel relief n this quiet oasis. As you have lost connection to the natural world, so have you lost connection to your self in all the noise of your day-today life. A Self Reclamation Retreat brings you back home to your own origin story. Earthing, grounding, forest bathing, drumming, chanting, and listening within through meditation and open time for quiet reflection allows for transformative healing. Much of this retreat will be silent to allow for a needed self reclamation. There will be group sharing and time for individual dialogue with Nitya to support you in your journey but otherwise, this will be silent. This week long retreat allows for the time you need to unpack all that sits on your heart, surrendering to the healing powers of nature, and reconnecting to your authentic self. You will find this experience to be transformative and life changing.
This very special Love themed Self Reclamation offers a unique retreat experience.
How do you care for yourself?
