Why this retreat?

To take time to engage with and celebrate the summer season. Rituals are helpful markers of time, this retreat is just that. A chance to take time away from the day to day happenings and instead turn towards the happenings of our own hearts, body and minds.

We will use this time to connect to our bodies using a variety of modalities, set intentions for the next stage/phase of our lives as we enter the summer season, spend time outside, on the earth, in the sea (if you so choose), dine on delicious island faire, learn something new from sharing and hearing from other powerful beings like yourself and be ushered into the magic of what San Juan Island has to offer us all.

Meet Heather

I look forward to meeting you. Thank you for being here and reading this far. Here you will learn a little bit more about me and my approach to Retreats. 

I am the founder of Instinctive Embodiment which is a three pillared approach to embodiment. We will be weaving this into each practice session during our retreat together. I believe in sovereignty and individuality within the group setting. We practice giving ourselves and each other permission to be who we are within all we explore together. We will learn from each other just as much as we will learn from the teachings where the body of knowledge I share originates from. 

My approach to Retreats is this: ceremonial, intimate, beautiful, delicious and nutritious. 

I crave depth so you will have opportunities to go deep if you so choose. I desire intimacy so moments of communion with self, the environment and the other participants will be invited. Being surrounded by natural beauty and delicious pleasurable experiences and foods is a must! We laugh a ton, let the emotions flow if they come and support one another to BE exactly who we are, as we are. 

A bit about me: I am currently living on the road with my partner and two pups. We will be driving up to the PNW from Mexico and are delighted to spend time with our island community who we miss dearly and I look forward to welcoming those of you new to SJI to my former island home. You can find out more through my virtual studio home and website: altarmovementstudio.com and on youtube @altarmovement
