ABOUT THE RETREAT
Embark on 2024 with Intention: Dive Deep, Connect Within - A Journey to Self-Discovery and Renewal
Join us for a transformative 2-day weekend retreat nestled within the serene embrace of Solstice Punta Gorda, a haven of lush tropical beauty that serves as the perfect backdrop for a journey of self-discovery. Immerse yourself in a holistic experience designed to rejuvenate the mind, body, and soul.
From the moment you arrive, the tranquil ambiance of Solstice Punta Gorda will set the tone for a weekend of exploration and introspection. Surrounded by nature's vibrant hues, you'll feel a sense of calm as you embark on a personalized journey towards self-discovery.
The retreat is carefully curated to integrate a harmonious blend of activities that cater to your holistic well-being. Begin your mornings with revitalizing yoga sessions, guided by experienced instructors who will help you reconnect with your body through mindful movement. Engage in breathwork sessions, unlocking the power of conscious breathing to enhance clarity and self-awareness.
Explore the depths of your creativity through therapeutic artistic expression, where you'll discover new facets of yourself in a nurturing and judgment-free space. Interactive lunch experiences will not only tantalize your taste buds but also foster meaningful connections with fellow retreat participants, creating a supportive community for shared growth.
As the sun begins to set, indulge in the ancient tradition of a cacao ceremony, a sacred ritual that opens the heart and encourages a deeper connection with your inner self. Allow the healing vibrations of sound baths to wash over you, rejuvenating your spirit in a meditative cocoon of resonance. Join a drum circle, where the rhythmic beats will synchronize with the rhythm of your own heartbeat, creating a harmonious symphony of self-discovery.
Amidst the retreat's activities, carve out time for personal reflection by the enchanting waterfall pool, where the soothing sounds of cascading water will serenade you into a state of tranquility. The tropical grounds of Solstice Punta Gorda provide a sanctuary for contemplation, allowing you to connect with your innermost thoughts and emotions in a serene and supportive environment.
