Spring Retreat
Nourishing the Whole Self
What does “wellness” mean and, more importantly, what do you need to cultivate well-being in your life? As human beings we are multifaceted and complex but that doesn’t mean our path toward wellness has to be complicated. It means that it needs to be unique to you.
Join me for this year’s Spring Retreat, where you will have the space to explore aspects of yourself and your sense of well-being. Through all that is offered, you will be able to discover and nurture parts of yourself that need it most–whether that’s through connection and community, quiet and introspection, movement or stillness, activity or rest.
I invite you to show up for yourself–practice yoga and meditation, eat nourishing and delicious food, connect with yourself and others, soak in outdoor hot springs-filled tubs and do a cold plunge in the pond, and wander through or rest in nature. Leave not just restored and rejuvenated but with the knowledge and know-how to bring wellness into your daily life.
Option to arrive early on 3/19! Early arrival includes accommodations, meals, and access to all amenities on-site. The retreat will officially begin on March 20th at 5pm.
If you are in need of scholarship support, please email me directly (ellie@ellieburke.life) so we can discuss options.
