JOIN US IN THE BEAUTIFUL FOOTHILLS OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO

*This healing weekend for women combines some of our best healing practices  into one healing weekend + a little extra fun and a way to rest/relax.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, disconnected? Grab a girlfriend to reconnect OR  join us solo to connect with like-minded others, or simply to connect with self again and recharge.  NOTHING CHANGES IF NOTHING CHANGES.

Take a step toward connection and relaxation and see how your life changes.

From disconnection to connection. Our world is in transition and life can feel like a struggle. Many of us have lost our sense of connection with nature, ourselves and others.  As much as we try to be our best, too often, our modern lifestyles separate us from what is important. Our daily routines and experiences often prove to not be conducive to optimal functioning of our mind, body, and spirit. 

Women need time to rest and meaningful connection.

Join us to go deeper within, giving your mind & body permission to release, receive and renew. Gather in ceremony to uncover your most pressing desires and connecting with like-minded others will help to fulfill an innate need of belonging. Take a daily journey with  gong sound healing meditation and explore  different types of meditation and mindfulness practices that we have found to be most effective in our lives and the lives of our clients. In this retreat you will also connect with nature while we hike the beautiful foothills just outside our door.

• Explore and practice  effective meditations and mindfulness
• Gather in ceremony for focus and clarity.
• Immerse yourself in foothills
• Connect deeply with self, nature and others for healing.
• Enjoy delicious meals prepared with love and expertise.
• Participate in community bonded by attitudes, values and goals for a stronger sense of personal and collective identity.

 "...We heal faster, deeper, and more easefully in the group setting." Dr. Kelly Brogan, NY Times Bestselling Author and Holistic Psychiatrist Who is this retreat best suited for?

THE GONG:

The Gong has been used in healing for thousands of years.  The mind finds it challenging to follow and control the complex sounds of The Gong and will enter into a deeply relaxing meditative state. It is great for those who feel resistant to meditation.  The Gong releases tension and blocks in the body and mind.  It reduces the harmful effects of stress by shifting out of flight, fright or freeze mode and guiding into rest, digest and heal mode. The Gong quiets the mind, clearing the clutter from the subconscious, by working into the delta and theta brain wave states, those we typically reach during restful sleep.

Come experience A SOUND & VIBRATION TRANSFORMATION

• Feeling of Intense joy & gratitude for life

Location: The Golden House Retreat -Our beautiful meditation and gong space  located in the foothills near Horsetooth Mountain and Reservoir, steps away from 60 + miles of peaceful hiking trails.
