Almost immediately after losing my Mom, I threw myself into retreats and workshops, especially those centered around women's empowerment. Attending them proved vital in my grief-healing process. Without them, I wouldn’t know the power within myself and I definitely wouldn’t know the power within community.

My workshops and retreats are curated based on methodologies that have worked for me, methodologies that have transformed me. In these workshops and retreats, we integrate yoga, pranayama, writing, and sharing to move beyond emotional pain. This is mainly done through transformational breath and intimate connection with self and others.

Unleash your Magic | Blue Full Moon Cacao Ceremony

The Ceremony

August 30th | 7PM | 2.5 Hours

Cacao ceremonies are a type of shamanic healing – which is one of the oldest holistic healing practices used by indigenous cultures all over the world. These types of healing ceremonies work with rebalancing energies in the body to regain health. However, unlike other shamanic experiences, drinking cacao will not make you hallucinate or give you some sort of ‘out-of-body’ psychedelic experience. Cacao instead, is used to gently touch your heart and to guide you into an inner journey deep into the emotional center of our body – our heart (Anahata) chakra.

This ceremony will include:

• Intention setting,

• Cacao Medicine from Ecuador and Hawaii,

• Breathwork, shaking, dancing, chanting,

• Connection exercises,

• Yoga Nidra

• Soundbath, and

• Open discussion.

Ecstatic Dance

Catskill Mountain Yoga Festival

July 22nd | 4PM | 1 Hour

During this ecstatic dance session, you will embark on a transformative journey that goes beyond intellectual contemplation. The guiding principle is that healing cannot be achieved solely through thinking; it necessitates an immersive experience of feeling.

As you enter this open and sacred container, you will have the opportunity to explore and release the emotions and experiences held within your body. Through the practice of ecstatic dance, you will liberate yourself from the constraints of rational thought and allow your body to become the vessel of expression.

This session provides a safe and nurturing space for you to express yourself fully and completely, without judgment or inhibition. It encourages you to delve deep into the layers of your being, unearthing any trauma or stagnant energy that may reside within. By moving with intention and surrendering to the music and rhythms, you will gradually let go of the burdens that weigh you down.

Breathing Beyond Grief Workshop

Hohokus Yoga Studio, Hohokus, NJ.

December 18th | 12:30PM EST | $40 | 2 Hours

An integrative breath work, writing, and sharing grief workshop for moving beyond emotional pain through transformational breath and intimate connection with self and others.

With the help of breath work, meditation, and writing exercises, we will…

• Clear the internal clutter caused by our grief experiences.

• Find a creative outlet that helps us release the old, stuck emotions in our everyday lives in order to fully live here, instead of constantly there.

• Cultivate more freedom and empowerment and exit the workshop with an aura that perceives life with greater lightness, joy, and peace.

  *Can be joined in-studio or via Zoom.

We cannot release pain until it has moved through us. Pain is not our enemy, it is our friend, it is our biggest teacher and requires to be met with love in order to be released, in order for us to heal. Dance with your grief!

This deeply healing inner journey sets out to release pain stored in both your body and mind, recharge your soul batteries and replenish your heart with peace, joy, and love. We will pull out a chair for our grief at the dinner table and hear what it has to say and send it all of our love before we go our separate ways until we meet with it again.

This day-retreat will provide a space where people can gain tools to cope with their pain, heal and find the light again, to live a peaceful life alongside their grief. At a time when there is a tendency for people to isolate themselves, this retreat offers an opportunity to heal in the community – a place to encourage, support, and inspire one another.

This will be a day of self-care, community, and remembrance. We will practice yoga, meditation, breathwork, journaling, and poetry writing and remember and honor our grief and loved ones. We will share nourishing vegetarian meals together and there will be time to swim, reflect, and breathe in a beautiful environment.

Please note that this retreat is open to everyone regardless of flexibility or yoga experience. Lunch, dinner, coffee, and tea are included.
