Retreating—even for one day is powerful.
Taking a day to retreat allows us to:
Slow our pace and regulate our nervous system
Step out of constant “doing” and into relaxation
On a personal level it allows you to:
Reconnect with what actually brings you energy and joy
Be supported in a space where nothing is required of you
This is an intimate gathering limited to 45 participants. Please Register Early.

Trauma-Informed Relaxation Yoga
Designed to support your nervous system in a gentle, choice-based environment where you are always in control of your body and your experience. Set in a calming circle around the fountain, this session will invites you to rest, receive, and reconnect & most importantly accept your own body—without pressure to perform or push it. The circular layout allows for a shared yet personal experience, where community is felt without the need for interaction.
This is a trauma-informed space, meaning:
You are always invited—not instructed—to move or rest
Options and variations are offered throughout
Hands-on assists are not used unless explicitly requested
Language is supportive, non-judgmental, and empowering
I’m Ava, founder of Violets in Bloom. I’m Behavioral wellness coach helping people reconnect with their minds, bodies and spirits through modalities like sound healing, and mindfulness meditation. My work is deeply shaped by growing up feeling like an outsider, which led me to create spaces where people—especially women—can feel seen, supported, and safe to just be themselves.
I’m Moneek, a Therapeutic Art Life Coach and founder of ARTrageous Brush & Flow. I use art as a tool for healing, self-expression, and connection. I'm convinced that I was born with a paintbrush in my hand and that my first scribble was actually a paint splash. My mission is to create spaces where people can slow down, breathe, and create without pressure.
I'm Gabrielle, a published author, educator and spiritual director who works 1:1 with people, helping them find their inner wisdom through words. I utilize writing circles as a place to pause, reflect, and connect with your inner wisdom. I currently work as the director of virtual content and programs for ritualwell.org.
I'm Jennifer. I'm a trauma-informed yoga instructor devoted to creating spaces where people feel safe, supported, and gently guided back to themselves. My approach is rooted in choice, awareness, and deep respect for each person’s unique experience. My intention is simple yet powerful: to hold space where you can slow down, listen inward, and rediscover what feels true for you.
