Wild Rice Retreat

🌬 Set seed thoughts. Consume and Digest Life. Enter into Stillness. Emerge into new Being. Begin Again.

Join us this fall for a powerful journey through change, rooted in the natural rhythms of autumn and guided by the transformation of the Monarch from seed, to caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly and the Mindful Pause process (STOP, BREATHE, THINK, CHOOSE). In this soul-nourishing retreat, we’ll explore:

  • Sensing our seed wish, longing, or intention
  • Taking in – consuming and digesting life experiences – and transforming into our Being
  • Letting go of what no longer serves
  • Dissolving into deep presence and inner stillness
  • Awakening to a renewed self
  • Integrating a grounded, heart-centered way of being

🌀 The Path of Transformation

  • Guided meditations & reflective journaling

  • Mindful movement & breath practices

  • Nature immersion & forest bathing

  • Group process & soulful sharing

  • Optional coaching or spiritual direction

  • Integration materials & take-home tools

  • Use of HeartMath tools that use heart rate variability feedback (HRV) to show self-regulation skill development

  • Introduction to our chakra energy system to engage holistic well-being

Testimonials from past participants:

I was trying to do it all on my own with a few resources from a book I read or seen something on the internet. Here, I was given tools and the ability to work through those tools with you and the group. The week after retreat was not the best, and I can’t begin to tell you how many times I pulled out the Stop, Breath, Think, Choose mantra! -Tiana

The retreat was so motivational for me. I came feeling broken and “ unfixable”. When the retreat wrapped up, I didn’t feel like it was an ending… But a new start to use the tools that I was introduced to during the retreat. I’m so thankful that I did this for myself and I have hope and excitement for carrying it on into my life. I know it won’t be a cakewalk. But now I see it as doable. The introduction to MP has actually marked the beginning of my mindfulness journey. I feel like I have so much sadness and confusion that I didn’t know where to begin, or how to begin so I was in a sense, frozen in my life not doing anything to address it. This introduction is a tool that I can understand and that resonates with me. I see it as a kickstart to adding more tools to my toolbox in my journey ahead. – Meghan
It’s led me to a clearer spiritual path to follow and explore. – Kady
It was wonderful to meet the other women and connect with everyone. I appreciated both the content that Cami prepared for us, as well as the conversations and feedback from the other participants. I have been working on mindfulness and building healthy thought patterns. The Mindful Pause content validated the foundation I’ve been building on my own, while offering many other really helpful considerations that can be incorporated into my budding wellness journey. – Gwendolyn

I’m most proud of myself for going solo. I am always planning and doing things for others. It felt empowering doing something solely for myself. – Susie
