Event Details

Finding Empowerment Through Personal Autonomy

Our signature Saturday session and heart of the retreat — an invitation to explore what it means to live from a place of inner strength, conscious choice, and self-trust. Through guided dialogue, reflection, and experiential practices, therapist and facilitator Kelly Lafferman leads us into the liberating terrain of personal autonomy. This is a powerful moment to pause, reclaim, and rise — walking the middle path not as a compromise, but as an act of empowerment.

VERY SPECIAL GUEST

Michelle J. Lamont, Your Spiritual Coach and Manifestation Mentor

Following her Friday night speaking engagement and moon ceremony, Michelle will facilitate an early morning meditation to prepare retreat participants to open their hearts and minds for self-discovery, to embrace community and flourish.

🌞 Morning Yoga: Awaken & Align

Led by Mary Beth Wallis, RYT 500

Start your day in stillness, softness, and strength.

These slow flow morning sessions are designed to gently awaken the body, clear the mind, and connect you to breath and intention. Led by experienced yoga teacher and retreat facilitator Mary Beth Wallis, this all-levels practice will move you through grounding postures, mindful movement, and moments of pause — inviting you to listen deeply to what your body needs.

Expect spacious transitions, nourishing stretches, and a calm yet enlivening pace to help you arrive fully into the day — steady, rooted, and present.

No rush. No pressure. Just you, your mat, and the morning light.

🥗 Nourishment as Ritual

We’ll gather for curated culinary experiences prepared by the heart and hands of Chef Sede Clark. Known for her soulful, ingredient-forward approach, Sede offers more than a meal — she offers nourishment designed to awaken the senses and ground the spirit.

Each bite invites you to slow down, connect, and arrive fully — to the moment, to the table, and to the journey ahead.

🍴 Midday Break: Cooking Class, Demo & Luncheon

with Sede Clark

Join culinary artist Sede Clark for a nourishing and sensory midday experience. This hands-on cooking class and demonstration invites you to connect with food as medicine, creativity, and community. Learn how to craft simple, seasonal dishes with love and intention — and enjoy a curated small-plate luncheon designed to delight and restore.

Take this pause to ground, gather, and savor.

✨ Polish the Mirror

A Self-Care Ritual for Inner and Outer Radiance

Led by skin care expert Deena Bell, Love Your Skin

This is more than skincare — it’s soul care.

Inspired by the teachings of Ram Dass, Polish the Mirror speaks to the sacred act of inner work — gently removing the layers that cloud our self-perception so we can see ourselves more clearly, compassionately, and truthfully.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll be guided through a nourishing DIY facial by licensed aesthetician Deena Bell, whose calming presence and expert touch turn skincare into ritual. You’ll learn how to tend to your skin with natural, holistic ingredients while reconnecting with the healing power of intentional touch.

As your mask sets, you’ll be invited into a guided meditation — a moment of stillness to reflect, receive, and return to yourself.

Because when we polish the mirror, what we begin to reflect is not perfection — but presence.

“If you don’t treat yourself, you cheat yourself.” Michelle J. Lamont

Self-care is not selfish — it’s a return to self-respect.”

🌸 Everyday Herbals

with Lauren Tanner, MSN, RN, AHN-BC
