At our 2021 Summer Retreat at Pixley Falls State Park, we grounded ourselves in nature with the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether.
We explored earth by immersing ourselves in a grounding yoga practice, explored water as we meditated next to the flowing stream, explored fire as we balanced our energy through a smudging ceremony, explored air through a relaxing pranayama breathing practice, explored ether through a soothing sound healing journey.
We enjoyed the healing sounds of crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, bells, and chimes for this outdoor symphony of sacred sound. Being in nature and soaking up all of earth's vibration as you hear the high-vibrational frequencies of the singing bowls recharged and restored our body, mind, and spirit to a sense of balance and harmony.
The day's retreat also included a mindful eating practice with catered vegan lunch focused on plant- based foods for grounding. We had free time to do light hikes of the many trails and explored the breathtaking waterfalls.
