Healing with Nature, Water, and Silence. 

Put a warm California summer retreat on the books: Join my yearly slow, quiet, and stunning digital detox weekend away from city noise to spend quality time with ourselves, to see what needs to be released, and what leaning into going forward. 

I believe that by conquering our fears and getting comfortable with silence, we can align ourselves with our soul's purpose. Kayaking is optional: if you've never tried but want to, I'll teach you to kayak and paddleboard, so you can overcome your fears and add peaceful, soulful eco-adventures to your life. 
 
We'll learn to seek insight within, ask ourselves deep questions, and let the silence birth the answers. During the day I encourage you to stay silent, enjoy the sounds of nature, journal, explore the river and the coastline, sun lounge, read, paint (I'm bringing canvases), and practice meditation – use that weekend to reconnect to your heart, to see what needs releasing, and what needs your loving care.
 
Being silent is not for the weakest of hearts: today it’s challenging for many to be quiet. The quiet is a witness to our deepest fears, self-criticism, and regrets, but also our dreams! The quiet energizes our feelings, action, and change which can be very uncomfortable and scary to embark on. Silence though is the only way to see clearly, and take an authentic step on the path to our dreams.
 
We'll enjoy conversation during our meals, and as desired. Natasha will be available to help you process any thoughts and ideas and clarify any contradictions you might come upon. This is a screen-detox retreat, try to minimize your phone use just to take pictures.
 
We'll practice different Meditation Techniques, Mystic Sunrises, Yin Yoga, and Kayaking in Jenner. Soak up the calming and replenishing qualities of the coastline, river, forest, and silence. Home to ancient woods and a bountiful variety of birds, the sounds and sights of the Northern California area are pure magic.

After this weekend we'll feel recharged, and have a renewed sense of clarity and appreciation for the little things we might have been taking for granted.
 
I am looking forward to slowing down in nature with you.
