Perfectly Imperfect 4 Day Retreat

Hosted by Cari & Diane

Throughout this retreat, experienced guides Cari & Diane will lead you on a profound exploration of your inner landscape, encouraging you to peel away the layers of self-judgment and criticism. Through intuitive art making, introspective workshops, sound healing, gentle yoga sessions and beautiful ceremonies, you will learn to honor your unique journey and appreciate the beauty that lies within your imperfections.

In the company of like-minded souls, you’ll engage in conversations, sharing stories and insights that unveil  the common thread of humanity – the shared experience of imperfection. Through this collective sharing, you’ll discover that your vulnerabilities are not weaknesses but rather the threads that weave the tapestry of your strength.

Nourish your body with wholesome, lovingly prepared meals that not only satisfy your taste buds but also honor your well-being. The serene surroundings provide a canvas for mindful walks, allowing you to reconnect with the rhythm of nature. In the evening, gather around a warm bonfire, where the crackling flames mirror the warmth that arises from embracing your imperfectly perfect self.

Whether you’re seeking a refuge from the pressures of daily life or aiming to deepen your self-awareness,  this retreat offers a safe haven where you can learn to love and accept yourself as you are.
