The fall and winter seasons invite us to slow down and listen to our bodies' rhythms and the deeper cycles of life. Yet our cultural traditions, work schedules and social expectations rarely leave space for these natural transitions. As a result, the holidays often amplify stress, loneliness, and physical imbalance.

These in-person three-hour retreats offer a gentle, restorative space to physically and mentally prepare for the coming winter and holiday season. You will be offered proven methods to help you realize the best version of yourself over the next three months including:

  • Multi-sensory rejuvenation through sound healing, aromatherapy, mindful movement, nourishing culinary delights, guided meditation and more.

  • Easily adoptable practices to help you release tension, remember what truly matters, and be more fully present to enjoy the coming winter months and holiday season.

  • Perspective shifts that will transform how you eat, shop, scroll, and connect during the holidays.

Grounded in Rasa’s Recipe for Resonance, these retreats activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the body’s rest-and-digest mode) and strengthen the Five Branches of Natural Intelligence: connection with the body, plants and animals, the elements, other humans, and the cosmos. Integrating just a few of these practices can offset many of the negative effects of our modern holiday culture, helping you emerge more centered, healthy, and inspired.
