Healing in nature
Through the isolation of the past years, more studies have shown the healing effects of just being in nature. You need time to reconnect to wide-open spaces. Northern Arizona and Southern Utah abound in places of solitude.
You will quietly and mindfully explore an area famous for slot canyons, and navigate the waters of Lake Powell. Mother Earth will provide the backdrop for relaxing breath and meditation, gentle mindful hikes, and quiet exploration. A reawakening of the mind-body-soul connection.
Sound and the mind-body-soul connection
All of life is vibration. Disease, or discomfort, is a signal that the body’s vibrational patterns are out of sync. Crystal bowls, metal Himalayan bowls, drums, and other instruments are used to help bring the body’s vibrational patterns back into harmony and to increase your connection to sacred nature.
The ancient art of sound healing is supported by modern scientific research. The tone and vibration of instruments stimulate various parts of the brain, the physical body, and the etheric body. The mind-body-soul connection through sound healing is an integral part of your journey.
Relaxation and meditation practices
You begin with sunrise gratitude ceremonies each morning and sunset meditation, reminding you to celebrate each and every day. Your easy-to-moderate hikes focus on mindfulness as you gently explore the elements of your surroundings.
In the stillness, listening to the wind as it sweeps through the canyons, hearing birds adrift on the thermals, insects singing, falling pebbles, your breath. You bring flutes and drums as part of your sound healing program to enhance the mind-body-soul connection.
Myofascial release and stretching
Fascial tissue permeates every cell in your body. As a connective tissue it is capable of exerting 2000 pounds of pressure when the web becomes constricted. As an Occupational Therapist for over 30 years and a myofascial practitioner for over 20 years, Bernadette will bless your journey with her expertise.
During the stretching sessions, or a private treatment, she will teach you techniques to relieve pain after you return home.
Evening astronomy
Join them for a journey through their unique dark sky heavens at night. Check out the moon and planets, explore the constellations, and experience the wonder of a full moon Milky Way. Truly otherworldly.
