Your Journey Home to Self-Love Begins Here
Does the idea of loving yourself feel like an option right now? Are you ready to stop pushing away the self love you deserve, to begin moving through the roadblocks you put in place for protection and survival?
A community is here to take those steps with you, to hold you as you move into the way you want your life to feel. It’s time to begin treating yourself like your best friend.
The Heart Project offers a sacred pause, a gentle, supported return to self-acceptance and the wisdom of your body. This intimate gathering creates a safe container for exploring those tender places within, transforming fear into curiosity, and resistance into gentle awakening.
Perhaps you've felt the whisper of your heart calling you deeper, even as something holds you back. Whether it's the fear of what you might find, the discomfort of vulnerability, or the unfamiliarity of putting yourself first, we honor your courage in showing up for yourself.
Through guided breathwork, mindful movement, and sacred sisterhood, you'll discover that the journey into your heart, while tender, holds profound gifts of healing and self-discovery. Here, in the company of supportive women, you'll find that the very vulnerability you fear can become your greatest strength.
The Heart Project is more than a retreat - it's a coming home to your own heart.
The Heart Project Promise
Within our sacred container, you'll discover that the very fears holding you back can transform into doorways of profound self-discovery. We promise a space where your heart can safely unfold, where your story is held with reverence, and where your journey to self-love is honored in its own unique rhythm.
You'll leave this retreat carrying not just new tools and practices, but a deeper trust in your own heart's wisdom. Through our time together, you'll experience the power of being truly seen and supported by a circle of women who understand. You'll discover that the path to self-love, while deeply personal, doesn't have to be walked alone.
Our promise is simple yet profound: Here, you get to show up exactly as you are. Your doubts, your fears, your hopes - all are welcome. In this space, you'll find that the journey home to yourself is both gentler and more powerful than you imagined.
What Awaits You
Over our transformative time together, you'll be guided through practices that weave together both ancient wisdom and modern self-discovery.
Guided Meditation
Approachable for both beginners and experienced meditators, you will be invited to welcome, observe and engage various aspects of your body, mind and senses. This practice of awareness strengthens your ability to connect with your ‘witness self’, to focus on what’s truly important, dimming distractions to allow for deep thinking, the portal to learning.
Breathwork
Experience the profound power of conscious breathing as we guide you through practices that release tension, regulate your nervous system, and awaken your body's natural wisdom. You might be amazed at how something as simple as breath can create such powerful shifts.
Trauma-Sensitive Movement
Trauma-sensitive movement is a yoga-based practice with invitational, rather than instructional guidance. Choosing how, and if, you want to move your body is intended to empower you on your mat and beyond and to explore being in the present moment.
Movement & Embodiment
Return home to your body through intuitive movement practices that celebrate every woman's unique expression. These gentle yet powerful sessions help you release old patterns and discover new ways of being present in your body. No dance experience needed - just a willingness to let your body lead the way.
Self-Care Workshops
Dive into practical tools and sacred practices that nurture your relationship with yourself. Learn techniques you can carry home with you, creating a sustainable self-care practice that fits your real life. Connection to Self Through guided exercises and reflective practices, rediscover the wisdom that already lives within you. This is your time to listen deeply to your own heart's knowing and strengthen your internal compass.
Sisterhood Experience
the magic that happens when women gather with intention. In this safe and sacred container, we'll share, support, and celebrate each other's journeys. There's something powerful about being witnessed and held by a circle of sisters who understand.
Here, transformation unfolds naturally when we give ourselves permission to explore, express, and embrace all that we are.
