Each day will bring a focus around the energetic centers of the body (chakras) and grounding practices with support of botanical allies. You will learn to make your own floral essences with plants native to this sacred land.
Enjoy daily yoga, sound healing, hiking, forest bathing, herbalism immersion, swimming, compassionate sweat lodge ceremony, rest and organic, healing meals.

about your guides
Lisa Brodrick
yoga. meditation. sound healing. culinary arts
Having worked as a naturalist in the redwoods of Northern California and section hiking parts of the Appalachian trail, Lisa naturally connects yoga and nature. Through sound healing, meditation and physical practice, she will be holistically guiding you through the energetic centers of the body. She has also worked as a vegan chef for many years and will be cultivating locally farm sourced, organic, nourishing meals.
Growing up between the US & Argentina, Lisa became enamoured with the curiosities and complexities of the world. She believes that we are moving into a world of unity consciousness and that we have the potential and possibility to be fully ourselves, without fear, and experience life in this way and connect with the Divine. Her offerings reflect this truth. Simply, she loves the ocean, being in nature and this beautiful planet and be a part of sharing for the good of our human collective. A student of Sri Dharma Mittra and of Kundalini Yoga, she has lead workshops and trainings for adults and children throughout the US, Mexico & South Africa.
