About the Virtual Format:
If you're thinking, why do I need a home retreat if I've been home this whole year?! I totally get it. It's true, we've all been at home more than usual and some of us have been on our computers an increased amount for work. With that in mind, this retreat is designed to carve out dedicated space for practice, free of distractions. It's a chance to shift out of our usual routine and through breath, movement, and ancient self-care tools of wisdom, connect more deeply with ourselves to heal and expand our consciousness.. You are welcome to have your video off for the entire retreat and engage as much or as little as feels is right for you. Bottom line, eliminate any stressors - this time is for you!!

This is the guided portion of the retreat, but recommendations will be provided for how to extend your retreat time that morning and into the evening.

TESTIMONIALS
"My experience at the Fall 2016 Women's Ayurvedic Retreat was magnificent. Both Heather and Camina, both truly gifted practitioners, created a space for me to relax, reflect and nurture myself in a way I wouldn't normally give myself. The variety of yoga, educational discussions, meditation, and glorious meals mixed with free time were well balanced and enriching. I left the weekend at peace and brought that back to my daily life with ease. I am looking forward to the next retreat and highly recommend it to anyone in need of a restorative weekend." ~Danielle Sprague. Woodland, Ca
"Not only was Camina and Heather's Ayurvedic retreat a total joy to attend, but it also left me with a general feeling of calm and ease for more than a week afterwards! Mindful awareness seemed to come naturally for me in this thoughtfully planned and beautifully situated retreat. The hands-on classes were loads of fun and included valuable tips and information that I could not wait to put to use in my routine at home. Most uplifting for me were the divine morning yoga sessions followed by the most delicious breakfasts I've ever enjoyed!"
~Lisa Norosky, Windor, Ca
"The Women’s Ayurvedic Retreat was a much needed respite from my hectic life to nourish and rekindle the need for silence through meditation, yoga and spiritual practices. We were nurtured with delicious vegetarian meals, time for walks in the beautiful hills, and time for personal reflection. Camina and Heather shared their knowledge and experience about the beneficial healing properties of Ayurvedic practices, which can be incorporated into our daily lives. The retreat was an inspiration, a reminder to honor what we have been given, to be kind and compassionate for ourselves and all life." ~Susan Eschler, Santa Rosa, Ca
"I recently had the opportunity to experience a retreat hosted by Heather & Camina. This weekend brought together many of the Ayurveda principals infused with yoga and informational classes while being cradled in Mother Natures beauty. I highly recommend attending a future retreat as you will be welcomed by two phenomenal ladies who provide a loving, safe and life changing experience."
