EMPOWERED SINGLEHOOD: EXPLORING INDEPENDNECE IN AND OUTSIDE OF RELATIONSHIPS

Sagrada Wellness in San Luis Obispo, CA

March 24-27, 2022

 

 

Our most popular retreat in California is back again!

The Sanskrit definition of ‘Yoga’ is ‘union’ and ‘connection’ which sets the perfect tone for this intimate event, designed specifically for women who are seeking a deeper connection to their inner power and independence. 

Tucked away on 45 acres of scenic California mountain terrain, Sagrada Wellness is a refuge of complete escape, privacy, and transformation.

Together, with our combined expertise as a certified yoga teacher, dating coach, and licensed therapists, we will explore the yoga of relationships through conscious movement and skilled processing.  We will examine various forms of relationships women maintain, teach healthy boundary skills, engage in thought provoking and dynamic exercises to deepen your connection to self and your relationships, as well as assist in building confidence and gaining real life skills that affect relationships.

Regardless of your current relationship status, whether you’re single, dating, monogamous, polyamorous, married, divorced, or widowed, this retreat is for any woman interested in better understanding three very important relationships you maintain: 1) relationship to self, 2) relationship to your intimate partner(s), and 3) relationship to your relationship(s).

Each day will include yoga and meditation, therapeutic interventions and workshops, and process groups, including experiential exercises, such as writing assignments, role playing, and goal setting, as well as free time to enjoy the beautiful grounds (i.e. hiking, swimming, napping, lounging).
