Details
Join us in beautiful Lake Toxaway, nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina, to experience a weekend of deeply connecting with the sacred within and in the natural world. As you slow down and settle into the rhythms of this beautiful landscape, you will feel as though you have come home to yourself. The mountains and clear running creeks will be our sacred container to experience the transformative embodiment practices of yoga (co-facilitated by Wendy Swanson), breathwork, and guided nature connection. These expertly led practices will be medicine for the soul, awaken the heart, and illuminate the sacred.
