HIPS TO HEART

OPENING THE GATEWAY TO LOVE

A TRANSFORMATIONAL RETREAT: OCT 12 - 14TH, OJAI

Are you ready to rise up and shine?

Then this retreat is for you.

You are not here to struggle. You are here to thrive and to remember your essence as LOVE. In this weekend retreat you will be supported to make some real shifts to help you feel more grounded, supported, connected to yourself and others and able to move forward in your life in alignment with your heart and soul. Reconnect to your innate passion, vitality and aliveness and step into experiencing more joy, beauty and love in your life.

“We are wired for ecstasy”

— Saul David Raye

AWAKEN THE FLOW:

LEGS, HIPS AND PELVIS

At the base of your spine there is an energetic gateway through which your life-force, joy and passion flows up to your heart. In this retreat we will focus on clearing this gateway, reconnecting the energy flow in your legs, hips and pelvis, so that you can start to embody more of the aliveness, juicyness and love that is wanting to flow through you and out into your life.

The hips, pelvis and legs carry energetic patterning around survival, finances, self worth, sexuality, support, and your ability to move forward in your life and manifest your intentions and purpose.

Through yoga, breath, sound, movement, drawing and journalling, you will be lovingly supported to bring attention to these areas to soften and release holding patterns, old stories of struggle, fear, unworthiness and lack, held in the hips and pelvis.

THE DOORWAY TO LOVE:

MEETING YOURSELF

As you turn towards these old fears and long held tensions, they become a doorway to greater intimacy, self-compassion and to experiencing a deeper connection to self and to others. Freeing energy in the hips and pelvis reconnects us not only to a sense of safety and grounding but to our innate connectedness to all that is.

ROOT TO RISE:

EARTH MEDICINE

From a strong foundation and a deeper experience of what it is to feel grounded, you will be supported to access more of your heart's energy. Working at these inner levels supports and initiates a natural evolution in your outer life so that you can move forward in alignment with your heart and soul with a sense of safety and stability.

Through heart opening cacao ceremony (drinking cacao is optional) at the beautiful Ojai Hot Springs and uplifting kirtan (a heart opening chanting practice) we will connect to mother earth and open to her healing energy to support this process.

Complete your journey by soaking in the potent and nourishing healing waters of the Ojai Hot Springs, washing away the old, and emerging into life feeling nourished, reconnected to love and ready to move forward, share your gifts and shine your light.

YOU...

Are ready to follow that inner voice calling you to step up and move into a new and more authentic expression of yourself.

Are longing for a greater sense of connection to yourself and others.

Want to feel more juicy, connected and alive so that you can fully shine your light and soul gifts into this world, from a grounded foundation.

Further info...

Cacao Ceremony

Cacao is the plant from which chocolate is made. It is a superfood and when eaten or drunk in a ceremonial setting can be used as medicine for the soul. It is a natural heart opener, as you may know from eating chocolate, and is a source of antioxidants and many beneficial minerals including magnesium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium.

The main active compound is theobromine, which literally means food of the gods!

It aids meditation, promotes connection to the body, works on the heart chakra and particularly seems to support the journey towards empowerment and fulfillment.

Drinking the Cacao is an optional component of the weekend and best avoided if you are currently taking antidepressant or antipsychotic medications, or have a serious heart condition. You can still participate in the ceremony with great benefit.
