The Tiny Self-Care Retreat

Comfortable exercise clothes, a yoga mat, yoga props (optional), a small space in your home for an altar, journal, three pieces of stationery or even just loose sheets of paper, body oil or lotion, essential oils (optional), burn vessel (can be an old candle holder, cooking pot, or terracotta pot—any vessel where you can safely burn something), a candle. There is no need to purchase any of these materials—use whatever you have available.

Noble Silence is a beautiful and meaningful way to tune in more deeply to your energy, thoughts, and feelings. Becoming aware of them without reacting, judging, or resisting helps to cultivate an awakened mind and an expansive heart. It also gives us an opportunity to simply be, instead of constantly living in a state of “doing.” This means no conversations, no music, no internet, no entertainment (that includes reading or writing). This will only last for one night, from the time you start your retreat with us until the next morning. We recommend doing the day 4 practice at night to make the practice easier for you. Start your day 5 practices first thing in the morning.

For one week, give yourself the gift of 20 to 40 minutes a day that’s just for you. As you emerge from our seven days together, you may find your idea of time shifting and that it's important to make yourself a priority instead of always putting yourself last.

If you skip a day, that's okay. The course will still be available for you when you're ready to jump back in. Yes, you can replay sessions. And once the seven days are complete, you have lifetime access to the course and can create your own tiny retreat if you feel tired or depleted all over again.

The yoga and meditation practices are perfect for those who have never even tried them. The meditations are all guided. And if you have been practicing yoga and meditation for a while now, you can use this as an opportunity to reset and go back to your roots and remember why you began these powerful practices.

No one is "good" at yoga or meditating. These are practices where we show up daily, try to do our best and allow life, grace and our breath to lead us.

We hope you make an exception for this one. It’s a one-week virtual retreat that will give your mind, body, heart and spirit the love and care it has been craving for—after our difficult pandemic year. Each day (aside from the first and last days) will only take from 20 to 40 minutes long. The fact that you’re here right now means you are being called to be a part of this special and sacred time, to offer this as a gift to yourself.

Self-care is not only about treating yourself to luxurious massages or expensive things. It could also be more grounded, sustainable, and sacred — and these are what we hope to offer in this retreat.

If you want a loving life, if you want a life of joy and fulfillment, this starts by giving yourself love and making time for joy and doing things that fulfill you. You can then be in service to the people you love and your work from this space of love and joy rather than obligation and fear.
