heart song
a yoga and sound healing journey for women
You wake up in the heart of the forest. The summer sun is rising, and you head off to nourishing Hatha Yoga practice on a deck overlooking the river. You flow and breathe with a group of like-hearted women, and the world feels peaceful. Once class is over, you head to the kitchen where our chef has prepared an incredible, organic breakfast for you. Once you’ve finished your meal, you walk barefoot through the lush grounds, enjoying free time by perhaps hanging out in a hammock or taking a dip in the river. You are enjoying the present moment while looking forward to the day ahead, particularly the Sound Bath and Cacao Ceremony that evening...
Imagine this...
Join Sound Healer and Yoga Teacher Haley Gaia for a magical four-day, three night women’s retreat designed to reconnect you with the wisdom of your heart.
The yogis say that the “heart is the home to the soul.” Our spiritual practices teach us that when our thoughts, words, and actions are in alignment with what we love and what uplifts us, we allow our hearts to sing. This energy can be heard and felt by the individual as well as beings around them.
Anchored in the teachings of the Anahata (Heart) Chakra, and supported by Crystal Sound Healing, Hatha and Yin Yoga, and Ceremonial Practices, you’ll be gently guided to release stuck energies and embody what it means to
“live from the heart”
Our journey unfolds in the heart of Lac Brome’s serene forest, a sacred space that will draw you into pure harmony — with yourself, your body, and the earth.
This is more than a retreat.
It’s a remembrance.
Of the wishes of your heart.
Of the love within you.
Of your Song.
