Shift – A Journey from Limitation to Liberation through Breath, Movement, and Meditation

This one-day retreat is designed to help you access substance-free altered states of awareness in safe, intentional ways, so you can reconnect with your body, explore the healing power of breath, and step into a more empowered relationship with your past and your future.

Through Movement, Breath, Guided Meditation, Creative Self-exploration, and Journaling, you’ll explore powerful tools for healing and integration. You’ll learn how to work with your breath to shift emotional states and discover how altered states can open new perspectives on stories that once limited you.

This is more than a workshop; it’s a living laboratory for transformation. You’ll leave not just with new insights, but with embodied practices you can carry into daily life:✨ Breathwork as a tool for release and renewal✨ Creative self-reflection practices that reveal new perspectives✨ Exercises that deepen connection with yourself and to others✨ Somatic tools to anchor presence and ground in your new reality

One week later, we’ll reconnect in a virtual integration circle via zoom to help you anchor the shifts you’ve begun.

If you’re ready to step into a new chapter of your story – with clarity, courage, and joy – this day is for you.
