Rejuvenation
Join us for a 6-day, 5-night retreat where you will be immersed in an Ayurvedic and integrative health-informed curriculum to help strengthen your hormonal health, through healing movement, lush nature, nourishing meals and sistership - all designed to help gently strengthen your spirit, mind and body.
On this retreat, you will learn the tools to carefully discern and determine what needs a shift in your life. What stays and what goes and what gets invited in. These tools will allow you to build deep awareness of your body and spirit, connection and re-connection to your inner wisdom, and learn new ancient practices that allow you to uplift your health and hormonal balance. These are powerful tools to take with you into your life after the retreat. They will allow you to meet the challenges of your life and this world with greater fortitude, joy, and resilience. The support of a circle of wisdom and care is so vital for living in difficult times.
Transformation and embodiment will be aided by expert guidance and a carefully developed program that integrates yogic practices—pranayama, mudra and movement along with sound healing through music, and workshops on hormonal health, ayurvedic self-care practices, neuroscience, food/spices as medicine as well as immersion in nature and sweat lodge practice.

What you can expect
Facilitated by integrative medicine physician Geeta Maker-Clark, MD, and Hemalayaa Behl, both specialists in yoga, ayurveda and ancient healing practices of their Indian heritage. You will be aided by expert guidance in this carefully developed program, drawing from their combined 50 years of teaching experience in their respective fields. As Indian women who have been deeply immersed in the healing practices of their heritage and culture, we are not performative in our adaptations of our culture to modern life- we are the channels through which this knowledge flows responsibly forward.
The curated daily program is built to bring about a new psychological and physiological state so the seeds we planted together will take root and grow, nourishing you to move into a new way of moving through the world. While you will have time on this retreat for massages and plenty of rest and reflection, you will also be guided through teachings of Ayurvedic herbalism, yogic practices like pranayama and mudra, and dance exploration of joy and play that is far deeper than a superficial concept of wellness… and can lead to lasting change.
Our Commitment To You
We nourish, awaken, inspire and empower every facet of your health through the lineage of yoga, ayurveda and cultural wisdom.
You'll leave radiant, with tools to carry this energy home.
