Details of this retreat
For mothers and daughters, aged 10-14 (flexible around age – let’s talk!)
The mother-daughter bond is how young women learn about trust, connection, resilience, and the joy of the feminine. These are the capacities that allow us to shine even during the darkest times. We will gather to celebrate and strengthen this bond with wellness practices, activities in nature, and a final rite-of-passage ritual. We will draw upon universal traditions to craft a meaningful experience of feminine wisdom.
Imagine making space for you and your daughter to retreat to nature to nurture your relationship and stages in life. Your guide and other participants will hold space to support your emotional connection and growth, through the healing power of Mother Nature.
This program will present ways to connect and provide care as your daughter enters a new stage of development., We will also look at ways to counteract the negative messages girls and women receive from the culture at large about their social roles, feelings, and bodies.
If you’ve been wanting support about how to help your daughter navigate challenges, detox from digital media, and embrace her special gifts, then this is the program for you. We will explore ways to build a steady bridge for your daughter to cross on her passage into womanhood while celebrating her unique qualities.
Wisteria Wellness Retreat offers many unique venues in which to experience silence, from the Himalayan salt cave to the dark space room, to the bright yoga dome.
We provide a multi-faceted approach tailored to your individual needs and offer you a variety of tranquil venues.
From the Himalayan salt cave to restore your sense of relaxation to the sensory deprivation float tank, we offer many opportunities for coming back home to yourself. In addition, our yoga greenhouse dome provides a regenerative sanctuary for daily use. The 40-foot crystal labyrinth invites you to a unique journey inward. The one-of-a-kind somatic space room, high-end massage chair, and crystal light bed offer a cosmic adventure, complementing the earthiness of the surrounding natural beauty.
In our pre-session call, we will tailor your retreat schedule, according to your needs.
