The Freedom of She Retreat

a sacred and mystical retreat into Ritual, Yoga, Meditation, the Divine Feminine, and the Returning to Self

with Kristina Coco-Hackenjos

July 26-28, 2019

Join Kristina at the breathtaking sanctuary of Heaven and Earth Retreats in Banks, OR this July. We will explore the sacred and mystical practices of ritual, yoga, and meditation to learn about the Divine Feminine and facilitate our returning to Self:  The essence of who we truly are. This is a time for us as women to come together — away from the demands of our daily lives — to remember and reclaim our power and freedom in a supportive environment.  We will forge the bonds of sisterhood as we embrace our creativity and our magic. We will nourish our bodies and our souls, spending time in reflection and in play. This is your time and your retreat, so there will be time to rest, rejuvenate, read, bask in the sun or soak in the hot tub. This is the Freedom of SHE and SHE is you.

Chakra Series

Chakras Journey Series

with Susana Laborde-Blaj 

1:30-4:30pm Sundays:

April 14, 21 & 28, May 12 & 19, June 2 & 9

 

Actualize your Highest Potential

The Vedic symbol system of the Cakra-s (chakras) will serve as a map to systematically explore one’s own deep engrained patterns. Using elements that correspond to each Cakra, the journey will be deep inside, exploring our inner world, unveiling our dysfunctions and the way we perceive ourselves, purifying our mind and discovering our highest potential. This work may seem magical, yes, but it will not be effortless. The journey into the Cakra-s will require honesty, consistency, humility and patience, all qualities of the peaceful warrior that decides to partake this kind of self-transformative adventure. Sessions will include asana, pranayama, mantra & meditation.

Possible benefits to taking this series include:
• Increased sense of trust and stability at all levels
• Increased sense of creativity and enthusiasm
• Increased self-esteem, self-confidence and self-respect
• The ability to improve one’s relationships at all levels
• The ability to communicate in a responsible and effective way
• Increased power of discernment, having clear perspectives, and making better choices
• Connecting to a power that is higher than oneself, finding life’s meaning in preparation for our final moment.
 
Continuing Education Credits: This series of seven workshops is addressed to practitioners who have already gained proficiency in breath centric asana, including yoga teachers, and counts as a total of 21 Continuing Education Hours for Registered Yoga Teachers at Yoga Alliance. 
 
What to expect? In each module expect short presentations, asana (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), mantra & meditation.
 
What to bring? Comfortable clothes, a water bottle, a notebook, pen or pencil for journaling.
