Join us for an immersive retreat to experience a deeper connection with your own soul + divine essence while you enjoy connecting with your body to find the joy of embodiment in the beautiful natural surroundings of the Pennsylvania Allegheny Mountains.
Imagine being in a restful state with your hands on your belly, breathing deeply, connecting inward, inviting the energy of your own soul to ripple through each and every cell in your body. Allow it to radiate + nourish you as you feel the support of being in a receptive state surrounded with an encouraging sacred circle of feminine energy.
Here you will have the ability to choose to step away from the busyness of your day-to-day schedule, and experience yourself more conscious and embodied. You will have the chance to learn how to deepen your ability to be in a receptive state of connection with your body + soul. Through intention, mindfulness and simple yet powerful techniques you can have the opportunity to find deeper intuition, more meaningful support from the inside out, and experience more ease and joy of being in your body + aligned with your heart & soul.
In the retreat, we will dive into sacred ritual and embodiment practices to connect with our body + soul with conscious experiences of; the breath, gentle movement, distance energy healing, journaling, giving and receiving of mindful touch with an energetic presence, flowing creative dance expression that will move emotion and free tension while experiencing the creative sensuality of being embodied. We intend to nourish ourselves in the deepest sense by aligning with our wholeness. You will leave with practices that you can integrate to provide a grounded place of comfort, ease and for positive impact in your life and the world.

History
Warrior Path
Running parallel to River Mountain's eastern ridge is Warriors Path, the great Iroquois Indian highway from Six Nations country, New York, to the Catawba country in the Carolinas. The historic path along Sweet Root Creek was one of the longest and most heavily traveled land routes in eastern North America, connecting Indigenous peoples over hundreds of miles.
The Underground Railroad
Black Valley was an active route along the Underground Railroad. Local histories principally credit four, free black residents with leading the aid network in this area: Rev. John Fidler, Elias Rouse, Joseph Crawley, and James Graham. Just to the south of the River Mountain property are 13 unmarked graves of enslaved people who died traveling the route to freedom.
