SUMMARY:Embrace Your Light
DESCRIPTION:Embrace Your Light is a gentle invitation to return to yourself\, an immersive fall retreat designed to support deep reconnection and renewal as the season shifts and life’s pace softens before winter’s return. This experience weaves together mindfulness\, movement\, Reiki\, creative expression\, and meaningful reflection. Whether you seek clarity\, healing\, or simply space to breathe\, you’ll be held in a supportive environment that encourages you to release what no longer serves you and reconnect with your inner strength and light. Surrounded by the quiet beauty of late October\, we invite you into intentional stillness\, nature\, and community\, creating space to slow down\, realign\, and move forward feeling grounded\, calm\, and clear. \nThis is a non-MOCRC retreat intended for anyone (18+) who is seeking time and space to pause\, breathe and reflect. Individuals can find registration information here or they may reach out to Lindsey Cornell at connect@lindseycornell.com or 612-520-1837 or to Justina Cloutier at cedarnsoul@gmail or 651-347-6627.
