Experience an extraordinary weekend with like-hearted women at The River House, a private homestead in a remote area near Camp Verde.
Arrive anytime after noon on Friday, March 20. We’ll all get acquainted, set up our sleeping areas, gather for dinner and participate in an opening circle with conscious conversation about what brings us all together.
On Saturday, you’ll rise and shine to the sound of birds and the flowing Verde River. Enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or juice, and a nourishing breakfast. Relax or do some morning yoga and enjoy a day of scheduled activities, or just chill and honor yourself with whatever you feel like doing in the moment. Receive a therapeutic massage, take a nap in a hammock, or read a book on the patio. In the evening we’ll share a yummy dinner and connect with the earth with some tribal music and special Equinox Ceremony.
We’re thrilled to announce that the beautiful and talented Celia Farran will be joining us and offering a concert at our women’s retreat!Singer, Songwriter, Comedienne, Celia has been described as “A cross between an Earthy Enya, Joan Baez, and Tina Fey.”
Celia dishes up the most delicious concoction of the silly and sacred delighting audiences across the nation. In addition to having the kind of silky smooth voice often associated with classic Celtic Singers, Celia excels at comedy. She often transforms right on stage into one or more of her alter-egos-whose antics typically leave the audience howling with laughter.
Experience compassion, care, unconditional love, laughter, hugs, mindful movement, healthy meals, friendship, live music, fire ceremony, art projects, river and trees!
On Sunday morning, we’ll do some mindful movement and meditation, as well as a special sound healing experience with crystal bowls gongs and various instruments to raise your vibration and tune-up your frequency. After our lunchtime activities and closing circle, you’re welcome to hang out and enjoy the space as long as you’d like on Sunday. Take a bike ride down the country roads (bikes provided), visit with new friends, or kayak down the river if conditions are good.
