Join Kate Mulheron and Trudy Welty from August 15-18 for a deeply healing retreat to journey into your sensitive self.
Come be held by the energies of the West Elk Mountains, with its peaks, green meadows and river ways.
Through the course of the weekend, you’ll learn to build a tool box for your Sensitive Self
From primitives’ lifestyles, the "Sensitives" were the healers, seers and those who could hold wisdom in order to guide the clan to cooperate and live peacefully amongst themselves and on how to have joy and love in their hearts.
In your lives, many of you are being asked to guide others.
The Sensitive Self was meant to help us survive and stay in balance, however, when it is overtaxed, it collapses.
This retreat will teach you to clear and filter the chaos of everyday life while maintaining your core alignment, functionality and perhaps have joy and love in your heart.
This time is for you to honor nature and allow nature to share with you. Learn tools to support your ability to live in the world more balanced and with focus on where you are headed. Learn to honor your acute awareness of thought, feeling, seeing and knowing — your Sensitive self.
You’ll be a guest of the stewards of The Wild Cooperative and Kevin Bound Ecolandscapes. We’ll spend time practicing yoga and working through processes in the different eco environments offered by these lands. Through experiencing the trees, valleys, rivers, ancient rocks, Cedar and Utah Juniper, you will be supported with the support different ecosystems that stay naturally balanced.
