Fall Blessings & Invitation to the Nicaragua Radiance Retreat
An Awakening Journey to Claim Your One Wild & Precious Life
Hey, bonjour!
Welcome to this orange-and-red, flecked, sweet-like-honey time of year. Symbols of change surround us as nights grow longer and the wind blows a little cooler. Do you feel the seasonal rhythm calling you to an inward journey, as the Libra New Moon waxes and midwifes a return, a remembering, a new chapter with notes of love, beauty, and harmony?
This November, when the trees are bare, and we descend further into the Northern contraction phase, we have an opportunity to stoke our inner Radiance within the sanctuary of a deeply nourishing, intentionally awakening immersive retreat led by my dear friend, Vicki Rivard, and co-created with other magic makers.
Picture eco-comfort jungle accommodations, delicious & nutritious vegetarian meals, daily guided programming, outdoor play & plenty of time to explore, rest & dream.
Retreat programming includes:
Elemental wisdom from classical Chinese medicine
Daily yoga & meditation
Reflection & journalling
Somatic experiencing
Soundbath
Breathwork
Cold plunge (available daily)
Community acupuncture
Temazcal ceremony
Optional excursions and wellness services
12 of us have said Y E S to journeying together so far, myself included (!!!), and there is still space & time to join.
I'm thrilled to guide five sunlit morning yoga practices, exploring the Five Elements. Moving through an alchemical cycle of Water (the Seed); Wood (the Sprout); Fire (the Flower); Earth (the Fruit); and Metal (the Decay), each practice will offer a doorway into a different phase of becoming.
In other news, major professional deepening & growth is underway. Earlier this year, I became EMDR-trained, and I'm steadily on my way to earning full certification with the Trauma Specialists Training Institute. *pinch me*
Within a holistic, depth-oriented, and trauma-focused framework, I also draw on somatic, ego states/parts work, mindfulness, relational, and astrology-informed approaches. My practice centres healing attachment, relational, and sexual trauma, challenges with anxiety, self-esteem and self-worth, family-of-origin dynamics, relationship patterns, and life transitions. Please contact me for free initial consultations, as I maintain a waitlist for new clients.
Words don't do justice to how honoured and inspired I am to walk alongside people on their homecoming journey and belong to an incredible community.
Wishing you a gentle transition into the heart of autumn 🍂 🧡
With gratitude,
Alex, Of The Wild: Integrative Wellness & Psychotherapy
