BEING INTENTIONAL WITH OUR INTENTIONS
"I shift beautifully into the season of rest and reflection."
Do you need to make a shift in your life? Deepen your commitment to your health and wellbeing? Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature at a private residence on Bainbridge Island at our one-day Shift retreats, where you can embrace the transformative energy of the season in the company of heart-centered women.
Find balance—and shift—through a unique blend of mindfulness, yoga, and self-reflection activities. Enjoy delicious meals, and learn how cooking can be as much a part of healing as the foods we eat. Take home tools to create new habits and patterns. This retreat is the perfect opportunity to recharge and realign your mind, body, and spirit in preparation for the changes to come.

Seasonal Yoga Nidra
One of the simplest ways to connect to the earth, to Earth’s wisdom and consciousness is to bring our awareness to its habitual seasonal shifts. In the changes of the seasons, we can recognize similar shifts in our own energies: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Shifting from the season of rest and reflection (winter)to the season of rebirth (spring) to the season of acton (summer) to the season of letting go (fall/autumn), returning to the season of rest and rest and reflection. In observance of the Solstices and Equinoxes we use Yoga Nidra, a deep relaxation technique, to help us ease into awareness in our bodies and minds by softening our muscles, quieting our thoughts, and connecting to our senses.
Washoku Cooking Class
Transform your ideas of breakfast! Learn to make from-scratch miso soup "to go," beginning with delicious dashi and steeping seasonal vegetables. We’ll explore the 15 healing practices and principles of Washoku, and how to use them every day.
Pranayama and Journal 'n Flow
We’ll practice three breathing techniques, 3-4 minutes each, that help to calm the mind, promote relaxation, and cool the body.
Using journal prompts, we’ll create mantras, set intentions, and capture in writing what comes up during our movement session. Combining journaling and yoga can help us to deepen our yoga practice, and also to deepen our awareness of and connection to our true self.
How to Shift
Is your life in balance? We’ll use health coaching tools to assess how you’re feeling about where you are, where you want to be, and what kind of accountability you need to create healthy habits.
