What a beautiful and transformative day at Golden Hill Retreat!

Our deepest gratitude goes to Jessica Garcia of Chandra Yoga and Asma Rehman of Grief Recovery Center for gently guiding our “Day to Breathe: A Grief Healing Retreat.” Thank you for creating such a nurturing, compassionate retreat to pause, honor loved ones, and open our hearts to healing.

From soulful meditation and gentle yoga to nourishing meals, heartfelt connection, sacred creative expression, and profound breathwork, every moment was held with care and intention. The sound healing and the mindful walk in nature brought so much peace and solace to all. It was our pleasure to share the healing modalities at Golden Hill to help ground, relax, and reset the energetics to promote healing.

It was a privilege to witness this sacred circle of support, wisdom, and kindness. Sending love and deep appreciation to every participant, and to Jessica and Asma for holding all who came to heal with such gentle strength.
May we continue to breathe, heal, and remember—together.

🌿✨ Introducing Hammock Haven at Golden Hill ✨🌿

We are delighted to share our newest sanctuary for meditation and contemplation — Hammock Haven. Imagine swaying gently above the earth in a 20 ft hammock , cradled in the arms of the tree canopy, surrounded by sounds of the birds and the whispers of the wind. Feel yourself relax and release your stress to Mother Earth below sensing her nurturing energy heal you. Here, small groups are invited to slow down together , tune into the rhythm of nature, and allow the stillness to nurture their spirit. This new space is a tranquil refuge to reconnect with yourself, the natural world, and each other😍

….A gentle sway among the trees,
whispers of wind, songs of leaves.
Above the earth, beneath the sky,
a cradle of stillness where spirits fly.
Come rest. Breathe. Be…..

Thank you Des Noel for the sign🙏!

✨ A Day to Breathe: A Grief Healing Retreat ✨🌿

At Golden Hill, we believe that when we come together in community, surrounded by the wisdom of nature, we awaken the healer within us — and gently support each other in mending what feels broken.
Grief is a universal human experience, touching every heart in different ways. Whether mourning the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a cherished dream, grief can feel overwhelming and isolating. Healing grief is not about forgetting or “moving on”—it’s about learning to integrate loss into our lives with compassion and resilience. Research reveals that honoring grief in supportive settings helps reduce depression, anxiety, and even physical symptoms. Studies, such as those published in JAMA Psychiatry and journals of bereavement care, show that grief-specific interventions and communal healing can enhance emotional wellbeing and restore meaning to life.

Grief takes many forms, including:

* Anticipatory Grief: Mourning a loss before it occurs, such as in terminal illness.
* Complicated Grief: Persistent, intense grief that disrupts daily functioning.
* Collective Grief: Shared mourning after community or global events.
* Disenfranchised Grief: Grief that is not acknowledged or supported by society (e.g., loss of a pet, miscarriage).

Understanding these forms highlights why healing is crucial: unresolved grief can contribute to lasting emotional pain, affect relationships, and even increase risk for physical illness. Participating in grief healing — through mindfulness, movement, creative expression, and ritual — fosters resilience, deepens self-understanding, and renews our capacity for joy. It also strengthens heart-brain coherence and provides a foundation for lifelong health.
If you are grieving the loss of a loved one, we invite you to a day of rest, compassion, and connection. This retreat is a tender space to pause, reflect, and honor the love that still lives within grief. Through mindful practices, movement, and creative expression, you will be held in a circle of care — not walking this path alone, but with others who understand.

Retreat Offerings:
* Gentle Yoga & Movement
* Meditation & Breathwork
* Nature Walks & Reflection
* Emotional Processing in�Community
* Creative Expression for Healing
* Sacred Sound & Honoring�Ritual
* Nourishing Vegetarian Meals

This past weekend, our sacred sisters gathered at Golden Hill to honor the turning of the seasons with a soul-nourishing Fall Equinox Retreat.

Together, we stepped into a sanctuary of nature, ceremony, and connection—welcoming balance, renewal, and the blossoming of new intentions.
We are deeply grateful to our incredible facilitators—Angela Mestre (Certified Tea Master, somatic movement teacher & resilience leader), Karuna Diedericks (Ayurvedic guide & chef), and Cici Singleton (movement and meditation facilitator)—along with the wonderful women who joined us for this special gathering.

We celebrated the fall equinox with Qi Gong, Yoga, and Dance - awakening our vitality and connecting body and spirit.
We grounded with Somatic Breathwork & Meditation - calming the nervous system and restoring deep balance. We learned how to align our bodies with seasonal rhythms for radiant health in the Ayurvedic Fall Cleansing Workshop. We celebrated the joy of movement, expressive freedom, and creative play with Ecstatic Dance under the stars.

The Fall Equinox reminds us: this is the season to reset, rebalance, and realign with nature's cycles. Just as day and night stand in balance, so too are we invited to find harmony within ourselves.
To every woman who attended — you gifted this weekend with your presence, laughter, tears, and genuine support for each other.

If you missed this gathering, stay tuned—more retreats are on the way! And if you want to continue exploring Ayurveda and sacred nourishment, join Karuna's upcoming Cooking Class in Houston and follow her on instagram .diedericks. See QR code included in pics to register for her next cooking class this coming Saturday!

Until we gather again, may your
season be filled with balance, clarity, and light .
