Join Maura and Candace for a four-day summer solstice retreat designed to cultivate the energies of both groundedness and joy, two elements that help sustain us through all the seasons of our life. Step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in a shared, uplifting experience!

Through a variety of different practices and their unique approaches, Candace and Maura will expertly guide you to places inside yourself that support transformation and the expansion of your own brilliance, while also fostering a deep connection with the natural world and the vibrant community that gathers together. Leave feeling refreshed, invigorated, and more fully alive.

Expect a balance of practices: both flow and restorative yoga plus the creative explorations of journaling and dance coupled with the nourishing experiences of nature, eating freshly prepared food, and being together.
