SPRING AWAKENING
A WOMEN’S RETREAT AT BELTANE
Santa Margarita, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast California
May 2nd – 5th 2024
with Stella Davies and Renee Green
If you yearn to make connections to your soul on a deeper level and share this experience with like-minded women, join us in regal Santa Margarita, San Luis Obispo County this spring. Let your spirit open to the beauty of nature and your wise authentic self. Allow the energy of a springtime awakening to guide you in a discovery of your own unique dreams, inner beauty and life force energy.
Experience a renewed sense of self…
Feel reborn with fresh energy to take home, and let your soul awaken to all the potential that is inside you!
Just imagine…. you step out into the warm spring sunshine just as the trees and flowers start to burst into leaves and blooms filling your lungs with pure, fresh air. The scent of the newly emerged wildflowers and grasses feel like they are an expression of the newly emerging part of you!
It’s a great time to plant seeds and intentions for the coming year! Come and shake off any residual inertia, and celebrate the height of spring with a Tribe of like-minded sisters in a stunning location nestled in the hills near San Luis Obispo.
Connect with Nature
Tired of the go, go, go of life and long for quiet, peace, and space for contemplation?
Breathe deeply of the fresh spring air as you immerse yourself in a hike or quiet outdoor meditation and allow your senses to re-awaken.
The dark night sky enables you to witness the expansive universe – feel yourself a part of all that ever was and the unlimited possibilities of the future.
Guided Meditation and Journal Reflection
Do you have a hard time quieting your overactive brain each day?
Explore different ways to balance and align your energy to open and awake your inner guidance and intuition. Start the morning off with a group guided meditation in a healing space.
Learn ways to continue your mindfulness practice after the retreat, creating spaces to listen to your heart daily.
Take time for guided journaling, reflecting on what supports YOU to experience joy within. Your journal gift, to take home, will help you look back over your healing journey and take steps to fine tune and create a positive future going forward.
Integrate
Dedicate time to deeply experience everything around you…get present!
Feel your inner peace being to shine through, as you take each afternoon to rest, get a massage, have acupuncture, go for a hike, or just let everything that you have been experiencing sink in.
This is time for you, and if you are in need of rest, then let this be freedom from doing and just ‘be’, allowing your senses to take everything in fully.
Daily Sacred Movement
Does your body need nurturing and attention?
Moving our bodies is what gets us out of the spiral of the thinking mind and moves us to listen to what is true for our souls. Gentle yoga or Feminine Embodiment practice each day will support you to trust your body wisdom and natural inner guidance for health and healing.
Let loose from society’s expectations and judgments, and learn to really release the body through intuitive movement – let your body guide you as you move instead of worrying if you are “doing it right”.
Sacred Sharing Circle
Do you long for a safe, sacred space where you can truly share from the heart your joys, fears, challenges or desires?
Come and take time together as a tribe of sisters to share and celebrate.
From ceremonial fire release, to healing group Reiki, to the sacred sounds of Stella’s soothing vocals with Himalayan/Crystal Bowls, Gong, Hand-Pan, Stone-whistle Flute and Chimes – this is an opportunity to join in each other’s joys, awakenings and learning together in a safe and supportive group.
Cuisine: Rustic, Vegetarian, Homemade
You will find that the cuisine for our retreat is rustic, yet gourmet and is served with a homemade touch. Meals are prepared from scratch by hand as mealtime approaches, so you feel right at home as a delicious plate of food is set in front of you.
Highlights of breakfast include organic coffee and teas, fresh fruit, and an organic egg dish that leaves you full and nourished for the day ahead.
Lunch includes a beautiful charcuterie spread with delicious cheeses, bread, nuts, fruits, and homemade dips to enjoy. A light salad/dish is served as well to give you energy without being heavy.
Dinners are hearty and consist of grains, vegetables, and legumes seasoned to perfection to create memorable dishes like sweet potato and black bean tacos, veggie and chickpea yellow curry, roasted squash buddha bowl, and many others. Ending your evening around the dinner table is always a highlight, we can’t forget dessert – decadent brownies, banana bread cake, and seasonal fruit cobbler are some favorites.
Be prepared to be sent home stimulated and inspired to cook great meals at home for yourself, family, and friends too.
