Cultivating Intuition: Dispelling Anxiety

  • Whetstone Wellness 1037 South Craftsbury Road Craftsbury, Vermont United States (map)

A full day retreat of deep inner medicine at Whetstone Wellness in Craftsbury, Vermont with Diana Hansen and Tina Ghantous. Experience the expansion of your intuition as we practice powerful healing tools to dispel anxiety and offer empowerment. Experience yogic practices designed to optimize the flow of prana, or vital energy. Gain a deeper understanding of subtle body anatomy and how it operates in relationship to the elements, and tools to support and strengthen the channels where prana circulates in body and mind. Dive deep into physical, mental, and spiritual relaxation with a tibetan sound bowl bath, a guided meditation meant to release inharmonious energies bringing you back to a higher frequency. Unlock your intuition through a shamanic journey meant to connect you to your highest essence. Create your own Medicine Bag infused with the clarified intentions you bring through the experience, a meaningful and personal reminder of your inner medicine to keep. Crystals and jewelry tools will be provided under the guidance of Diana Hansen. A nutritious, lovingly prepared, prana filled mid day meal will be provided.
