🌸 The Flow of the Day
10:00 AM – 11:00 AM | Opening Ceremony
We begin by arriving in sacred space together. This grounding welcome includes introductions, gentle heart-opening rituals, flower offerings, sage smudging, and intentional sharing. Enjoy a selection of herbal teas, juices, or simply water as we settle into the energy of the day.
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Breathwork Journey
This guided breathwork session is designed to activate your parasympathetic nervous system and help you reconnect with your body. Through conscious breathing techniques, you’ll explore emotional release, energetic flow, and embodied presence. Many participants experience clarity, emotional breakthroughs, and a deeper sense of inner peace through this work.
12:00 PM – 12:30 PM | Journaling + Nourishment
After the breathwork, we slow down with reflective journaling prompts to help you integrate the experience. Light snacks will be provided to nourish your body and keep your energy grounded.
12:30 PM – 2:00 PM | Traditional Sweat Lodge + Chakra Cleansing
Step into an authentic Indigenous Sweat Lodge Ceremony led by a respected Indigenous elder who has been holding this sacred practice for most of her life. In this powerful ritual, you’ll be guided through rounds of purification using heat, steam, prayer, and sacred songs to release toxins — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Immediately following the sweat lodge, we will move into a Chakra Cleansing Ritual using cold water, traditional flowers, and medicinal herbs to support energetic realignment and renewal. This practice is both refreshing and symbolic — washing away what no longer serves, while opening the energy centers to deeper clarity, balance, and flow.
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM | Vegetarian Meal + Integration Time
After emerging from the sweat lodge, take time to refresh, change clothes, and enjoy a wholesome vegetarian meal made from local, seasonal fruits and vegetables. This is a moment to reconnect, reflect, and allow your body to recalibrate.
3:30 PM – 5:00 PM | Yin Yoga with Massage & Reiki
This deeply restorative session combines the long-held stillness of Yin Yoga with hands-on Massage and Reiki energy healing. While you’re in each pose, you’ll receive intuitive massage and energetic touch to help release tension, move stagnant Qi, and soothe the nervous system. It’s a full-body experience of surrender, restoration, and energetic harmony.
5:00 PM – 6:00 PM | Closing Fire Ceremony
We end our day gathered around the fire — reflecting, releasing, and realigning. You’ll have the chance to write down and burn something you wish to let go of, symbolizing a release of the old. Then, we’ll guide you in planting a seed — an energetic intention to take the lessons and healing from this day into your everyday life. This is a spiritual, heartfelt closure to an expansive day.
