For Highly Sensitives, Empaths & Neuro Divergents
August.30th-September.2nd
Leviathan Studio, Lasqueti Island BC
Calling you home to yourself, community, connection and your innate gifts
Do you find yourself going through your life feeling different, disconnected, misunderstood, alone and trying to fit into the social norms that society expects? While struggling with anxiety, chronic pain, depression, overwhelm and burnout? Most of all feeling flawed, different and under-resourced to navigate through the challenges of being highly sensitive, empathic, and neuro divergent?
Are you tired of living this way and tired of asking, “is this really all there is?” Do you have a deeper knowing in you that YOU have so much more inside of you to experience, explore and share with the world? Are you tired of living in a cycle of depletion and disempowerment?
If you have answered YES, then we would like to invite YOU to join us for the first ever RISE UP RETREAT created especially for highly sensitives, empaths, and neuro divergents, by a collective of highly sensitives, empaths and neuro divergents.
Over the course of 3 days we will come together on a beautiful off grid island, surrounded by nature, water and tranquillity. You will be welcomed into a most unforgettable safe, supportive and loving environment, where we will embark on a powerful journey to learn, understand and celebrate the incredible gifts and explore and discuss some of the real challenges that come with these traits. Most importantly to explore a variety of tools, practices and resources that can make a life changing difference in improving your health, well being, self acceptance, self empowerment and ability to THRIVE!
Foundational practices and components of this retreat include:
-Welcome and orientation evening
-Somatic movement and sensory awareness practices to support sensitive nervous systems, and help re-wire from anxiety, tension, depression, burnout, stored trauma, chronic pain & more.
-Morning mobility movement classes to wake up the body and mind and stimulate lymphatic flow and well being.
-EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques). EFT was developed in the 90s by Gary Craig. By tapping into the subconscious mind we can dissolve limiting beliefs and release emotional blocks to allow more ease, flow and wellness into all aspects of our lives.
-Group discussions led by facilitators on personal journeys of understanding and engaging with these traits, with an emphasis on deep honesty, mindset, self acceptance and self empowerment.
-Group talks and discussion led by facilitators on the challenges of being highly sensitive, empathic, and neuro divergent, as well as the incredible gifts that come with these traits when we start to understand ourselves and these traits more deeply and how to care for our unique nervous systems. We will also explore and discuss different modalities and resources that can support you on your journey towards not just surviving, but thriving.
-Journaling practices for mental health.
-Sound and vocal expression. We will explore gentle and nourishing sound/mantra, practices as well some fun vocal exercises to free the voice and release stuck energy through sound.
-Live concert and dance party
-Afternoon breaks and free time to soak in the beautiful natural surroundings and tranquility.
-Closing circle and time to debrief and discuss key takeaways from retreat.
This weekend is about fostering a sense of belonging and connection while supporting YOU in building community, resilience, knowledge and a rich resource toolkit that you will take away with you, to support you on your journey.
