Beauty, awe and reverence offer us the opportunity to pause.

It is the constant steady presence of nature that is my anchor in all seasons.

This and my breath are life.

|| Being 🍂Fall Edition || Retreat

Time to pause and renew your connection to self as we unfold into Autumn.

Join Heidi for a morning of exploring the “art of being” and HOT/COLD/REST cycles at AIKA SPA, a hidden sanctuary in the Squamish Valley.

This is your opportunity to foster slowing down, releasing, creating clarity and presence as Autumn settles in.

Much like a leaf falling from a tree we are also asked to surrender.

The season of Fall requests us to deepen our awareness of our attachments and where can we cultivate more space by letting go.

Through grounding meditations, journal prompts, breath techniques, water therapy and open discussions you’ll nurture a deeper connection to self whilst rooted in nature.

A morning of pause and discovery at the idyllic AIKA SPA.

Location:
AIKA SPA located in the Squamish Valley. An earthy haven just a short drive away from the bustle of Vancouver and Whistler.

An excerpt from Mary Oliver’s “Patience”

…I used to hurry everywhere,
and leaped over the running creeks.
There wasn’t
time enough for all the wonderful things
I could think of to do
in a single day.
Patience
comes to the bones
before it takes root in the heart
as another good idea.
I say this
as I stand in the woods
and study the patterns
of the moon shadows,
or stroll down into the waters
that now, late summer, have also
caught the fever, and hardly move
from one eternity to another.

~ Patience by Mary Oliver

|| about disconnection ||

when we’ve lost ourselves…
wholeness is not found in aloneness but in togetherness.

take a moment to reflect on your community… where do you feel supported and what may need tending?

community care is deep soul care.

Love all the way,
Heidi
