Befriending Winter: RI Women's Wellness Retreat


  • Portsmouth, RI United States (map)

Price range $650 - $850
Registration closes February 1, 2025

Winter is the perfect time to practice presence, coziness, and to connect with like-minded people.

Picture freshly fallen snow and the stillness of nature.
Picture how lovely it would be cozied up by the fire with hot chocolate.
Picture warm, nourishing meals and savoring every morsel.
Picture restorative yoga with cushions, blankets, and plenty of time for rest and reflection.

Celebrate these things and more this winter with Val and Meg for a unique opportunity to gather together with like-minded women at a private retreat house and nuture your heart and mind. Retreating in the Winter offers a nourishing experience that fosters self-reflection, as the season's energy aligns with personal growth and cultivating new ways of being.  

Arrive back home with an awakened sense of your refreshment after two nights and three days of befriending winter.

Somatic Breath Journey
Experience a Somatic Breath Journey that takes you out of your thinking mind and into your body’s nervous system . It creates space for you to release unnecessary energy often caused by repeating thoughts, feelings, and old narratives by discharging it out through your body. 

Through a specific breath technique coupled with rhythmic music, this union of breath and sound unleashes a cathartic release so you can step into your authentic self manifesting your true purpose both personally and professionally.

Menu
All meals are seasonal and made with fresh ingredients. Dishes are homemade creations and include two nourishing lunches, and two dinners, as well. They are plant-based with gluten-free and allergy accommodations. Meals are made with love and Ayurvedic practices in mind. Price includes all meals - a fully stacked kitchen for breakfast, tea, coffee, snacks, etc. and all lunches and dinners.


MEET THE INSTRUCTORS

Meghan Leighton (Awake Minds) and Valerie Griffiths (Breathing Barn Yoga)

One of the unique offerings that your retreat includes is that Valerie and Meg both study under the same Yoga and Meditation mentors. Although, delivered through the authenticity of each teacher, this retreat offers consistent messaging in the physical practice of yoga and within the stillness of your daily meditation practices resulting in powerful transformation. Get to know your teachers a bit more by connecting with them prior to the retreat. Read through their websites in the links above and connect with them via social media for more information.
