About this Retreat
Your Guides
Your Host & Founder of Muse in Bloom: Natalie Arwood
Pursuits—
Natalie is a Central Oregon Yoga Instructor, Ayurvedic facilitator, and Reiki Healer through traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho + Vocal Reiki Sound Baths. Her musical expression is influenced by cultures from around the world, and she offers singing, chanting, and healing through instruments such as a buffalo hide drum, Tibetan bowl, rain stick, and vocals at events and yoga classes. She offers a safe and sacred space for people to channel the world of their inner knowing; that may be a connection to their personal belief of source, to spirit or power animals, to ancestors, to ask a question they’ve longed to have answered, receive inspiration through the portal of their mind’s eye, rekindle a personal relationship to their energy bodies, remove blockages in the wheels, or to simply rest. Sharing sound allows her soul to feel alive and understood while others heal or step into a place where they too can experience this.
Other—
Her belief is that she will be a forever student of life. She is a passionate lover, and a romanticizer of most things she comes across. For now, a plant & cat mom, hoping sometime soon to mother one of her and her beloved’s creation of their own. She is an all things planet earth enthusiast. A music devotee, and a big time book worm…especially if it is anything fantasy. As for the astrology folks out there; she is an Aquarius Sun, Capricorn Moon, & Leo Rising.
Why host women retreats?
“For much of my life, I struggled with finding balance between the feminine and masculine energies within me. Over the years, I have devoted myself to a deep personal journey of healing, where I’ve learned to soften my being, lay down my swords, and finally step into a space inside of me that can truly embrace the wild + free, soft yet resilient, balance in my soul. I have found myself noticing the practice everyday, especially living in a western world. Through women’s retreats, women’s circles, and sacred gatherings with close women in my life, I’ve experienced profound healing and liberation. I know firsthand how it feels to long for a sense of belonging and community, especially in a world that often tends to overlook the needs of women.
This path of healing has ignited a passion in me to create that space for other women. A space where we can come together, feel deeply seen, heard, and supported, and awaken the wild, free essence that’s been waiting inside each of us. I am here to guide you into the beauty of sisterhood, to hold a space where we can all feel the magic of true connection and celebrate each other’s unique essence. It’s an honor to walk beside you on this journey, where together, we can embrace freedom, heal, and reclaim our true wildness.”
Rachel
Facilitator
“Hello! My name is Rachel Bernard, I am 30 years old, I live and work in the Chicago suburbs. I am a certified Reiki master, and run half of ‘Soul Rocker Healing Arts’, located in Aurora Illinois. We are a Reiki based healing practice that uses different modalities, such as, sound healing, mineral healing, tarot, and astrology. Also, I am a 200hr certified yoga teacher, at ‘Sense of Samadhi’ in Yorkville Illinois. I specialize in vinyasa, as well as a restorative sound healing class, which ties into my deepest passion, which is channeling energy through sound. During the beginning of my spiritual journey, i was lead to find deeper knowledge about my own ancestors and my Mexican heritage and it brought me to begin learning and playing a native Mexican flute, which has only driven deeper purpose in my own life and yoga practice. I find my self in eternal gratitude for the opportunity of being apart of such a special team, and retreat as a whole, i can’t wait to meet you!”
Malexa
Facilitator
“Malexa is a passionate directional facilitator for the upcoming “Sisterhood by the Sea” retreat, where she’ll be supporting you through every step of your journey, ensuring your needs—big or small—are met with care and attention. With a heart for community and supporting women, she’s dedicated to creating a space where connections can thrive. When she’s not helping others discover their inner strength, Malexa can be found lost in a good book—especially if it’s a fantasy novel—hitting the slopes snowboarding in the mountains, or exploring new places around the world. A proud cat mom, she also loves singing and cherishes the bonds with her family and friends, who are at the core of her life. For Malexa, the magic of this retreat is in fostering an empowering sisterhood and creating unforgettable memories by the sea.”
