Embracing Ourselves: A Women’s Retreat for Self-Compassion and Possibilities

Join us for a 2-hour retreat designed to nurture and uplift. Iyengar yoga instructor Karla Ingram will guide us in gentle, accessible yoga, helping us reconnect with our bodies exactly as they are. Self-Compassion Meditation teacher and psychologist Dr. Amy Balentine will show us how to embrace ourselves with kindness and expand our circle of compassion to include ourselves. Through reflective discussion and a compassionate body scan meditation, you’ll be supported in accepting your inherent worth. We’ll close with deep listening, sharing insights in a space of acceptance and connection. Whether you’re new to meditation or seeking a fresh start, this afternoon offers a chance to honor yourself and your community with your presence. You are enough, just as you are. And there are more possibilities for you than you realize.
