About
This 3-hour evening experience invites you to embark on a journey of release, renewal, and rejuvenation. Each month, we guide you on an explorative nighttime nature adventure to deepen your connection with nature and yourself!
The full moon is a great time for releasing! We intentionally curated this experience to allow you to explore, connect and release!
This evening will include:
-
Guided hike along the trails in Blackstrap Provincial Park
-
Releasing ceremony to honour our path and release any mind stories, limiting thoughts, judgements, and unprocessed emotions using water as our medium
-
Mini-astrology reading to discover how you can embody your gifts and life lessons
-
Sauna in the wood-burning barrel sauna to unwind and relax
During the rest phase of the sauna cycle, you will engage in a unique releasing ceremony in which you will have the opportunity to release any attachments from the previous month. When you release attachments, such as old thought patterns, stuck emotions and limiting belief systems, it provides you with the opportunity to unravel a version of you that you've adopted along the way and sink into a more authentic version of you!
This is a memorable experience that will allow yourself to be guided by the power of nature!
