GATHER, GROUND, & GROW: a Somatic Healing & Restorative Yoga Mini-Retreat
CA$139.00
Saturday, August 15, 2026
11:00 AM – 4:00 PM EDT
Slow down and breathe with the land. Open your heart to the simple joy of shared rest.
Surrounded by lush fields and open skies, this intimate retreat is designed to help you release tension, restore vitality, and reconnect with yourself through somatic practices, restorative yoga, breathwork, and guided meditation.
When like-hearted people come together, a quiet healing happens. In shared space, conversation, and connection, we remember we are not alone - community itself becomes the medicine.
What’s Included
- Morning clinical somatic exploration, intuitive movement, Yin yoga, and breathwork practice
- Afternoon restorative yoga, hands on support, and nourishing Yoga Nidra session
- Full-day access to 70+ acres of walking trails
- Farm made lavender lemonade
- 90-minute lunch break to picnic, explore, or relax
- Fun photos with Jules
- Time to shop and snack at the Farm Cafe and neighbouring Hy-Hope Market Farm
The Experience
Your morning practice combines clinical somatics to soothe tired eyes, neck, and shoulders, intuitive movement to generate freedom in your body, gentle Yin yoga to access ease in your hips, and breathwork to release stress and cultivate deep rest.
After lunch, we’ll gather for a restorative practice featuring prop-supported postures, healing touch, and Yoga Nidra—a guided meditation often described as 'yogic sleep' to calm the body and busy mind.
Throughout the day, nature becomes part of your experience. Wander the trails, breathe in fresh air, enjoy quiet reflection, or connect with like-minded people.
Join Jules for a fun photo moment surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant vistas.
Bring your own lunch or purchase goodies at the Farm Store Cafe (teas ice cream, and snacks), as well as lavender and elder products made on site. Or journey 2 minutes north to Hy Hope Farm for fresh breads, pies, pastries, produce, meats, preserves, and so much more... Including live music!
