Living Poem: One Day Portrait & Presence Weaving of Women
July 26 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
$697
A living poem in the mountains, with a ceremonial portrait experience.
In the heat of Appalachian summer, join writer, Reiki master teacher, and retreat leader, Katelyn Wargo, and creative artist, visionary, and storyteller, Christine Yanella, of Earth Body Photography, for a day that weaves like a living poem—a poem woven through softening, reflection, nourishment, connection, water, and witness.
This is a day to step out of the noise long enough to feel your “soulskin”—your holy essence again, and to receive, release, and let your essence shine.
We’ll begin with space to arrive, set an intention, and settle into your body. And from there, the day unfolds through a series of experiences designed to soften you open—into presence, into beauty, into yourself.
You’ll be guided into deep rest through Yoga Nidra & Reiki beneath the trees.
You’ll be nourished with a Mediterranean-inspired, yet Appalachian influenced lunch by our private chef, thoughtfully prepared with local, seasonal ingredients.
You’ll be witnessed through a professional embodied portrait session by or in the waterfall on the gorgeous property—an opportunity to be seen as you are and celebrate yourself for how far you have come.
In between, there is room to connect, or to be quiet. You can participate in an optional beauty noticing practice, hike the trails, journal, pull cards, or nurture new friendships.
This day asks nothing of you except that you show up as you are, ready to receive, and most importantly, ready to step into your soulskin again —your holy essence, in a gathering of like minded women.
This is an intimate container of only 8 women.
