A full-day retreat held in a beautiful temple on the stunning mountain grounds of Compassionate Expressions in Leicester, North Carolina.

Surrounded by open skies and sweeping mountain views, this day retreat is an invitation to step out of the busy pace of life and into something more spacious through the exploration of movement, breath, sound, ritual, and connection.
The Flow of Your Experience:
-An opening circle to arrive, ground, and set intentions for the day
-Qoya-inspired movement to awaken and reconnect with your body
-A shared nourishing midday meal with organic, local ingredients, prepared by a private chef
-Guided circular breathwork with Reiki support to release tension, restore balance, and deepen presence
-An intricate sound healing journey with crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, ocean drums, and other therapeutic instruments
-Time outdoors on the mountain grounds for a special planting intention ritual
-A closing circle to share and honor what you’re carrying forward
Note: There will be pockets of integration space throughout the day to journal, reflect, and connect with others
