Summer 2022 It has been a wild ride for the past few year and so much inner growth and contemplation has had the opportunity to be expressed through the great passions of what you believe in and where you are ready to facilitate the next level of your growth!! The Element of Fire, ruled by the HEART is known for the summer cycle of the 5 Element Circle. This direction of the cycle helps you receive the physical energy you will need to support the light you carry in this life and more importantly for the next year ahead ; vitality, stability and awakening to greater clarity helps to support your vision forward!! In all of this light, one can get very depleted and sometimes defeated in exhaustion where there may be a lack of joy or an over elation of joy..these are extremes which can lead to depression or pure anxiety and restlessness and then you can lose connection to your hearts voice and balance!! When you burn too bright, too fast, with too many events and directions you may be going there will be no energy for you to finish the commitments of you souls heart path that you are here to embrace.

In this retreat, you will study the Element of Fire and how to find balance in the summers journey of the heart, and the four officials of the FIRE MERIDIAN CHANNELS : Heart, Small Intestine, Heart Protector, and Triple Heart through yoga, meditation and the self study of the acupuncture and spirit of the points that help you deepen into these channels!! This is a time of the incredible heat of the sun, growth of internal direction that has a manifestation of outward growth, which CAN become dry, over worked with dehydration, depletion and exhaustion!! When we acknowledge the 5 Elements in the Cycle of Life, you begin to watch patterns and habits each season and start to acknowledge where you may get stuck emotionally, energetically and then the lifeforce of Universall Flow can be blocked to your sheer potential of what is possible in the healing ways of your life!! What a journey we have all endured from the year of 2020 and now we have much to acknowledge and honor that we have worked with, fallen into and strengthened the direction forward fro 2022! It is now time that you get all of your parts: mind, body and essence to cooperate with your spinal, strengthened center you hold!!! What have you learned through your springs intentions of the East after such a year of 2020 where nothing is the same , a new alignment has taken place for you, your heart is changed, it has grown, deepened and opened to a deeper level of self intimacy and how that has shifted you, as you welcome the strength and clarity of what your heart understands now of the South and Summers Light!!! On this retreat, you will practice working with Universal Circle to unlock your inner guidance of your heart’s truth speaking and truth seeking as you embody a deeper alignment of your right to be and your great gifts and talents of your soul's heart path!!! By the end of this retreat you will be very clear on the intentions you are ready to nourish for the year to come!! It’s a BIG YEAR to walk your path forward with your soul's purpose!!!


Through the course of the weekend, you’ll learn to build a tool box for yourself through Yoga, Nature Ways, and Ritual in these chaotic yet defining times!! It is time we get our internal being in its strength to move forward for the work that is ahead for you, as you learn how to come back to yourself and deepen into what is important through your own values, integration and cohesiveness of all your parts: Body, Mind, and Essence, so that you may remain STEADY and STRONG for what is ahead and be authentic in your strength for this next cycle of life!! The Sensitive Self was meant to help us survive and stay in balance, however, when it is overtaxed, it collapses, and through these teaching you will be reminded of your internal strength of what it means to move forward in a balanced way!! 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.



About Dr. Julie;)

I have been holding retreats for over 9 years and I have ALWAYS wanted to hold a yoga and chiropractic retreat, as working with these ways is very important to learn hold to hold your alignment, and in a retreat setting and sacred hot springs I believe a reset can be so deeply infused in a memory your body, mind and essence can hold!! I was never going to do this with just anyone, so the right person to facilitate this experience I knew would show up one day!! Julie has been an Earth Ways Yoga student for years, and has come to many of my retreats so she understands and honors what we do through an Earth Ways Yoga retreat!! So we both knew it was time!!!

From Dr. Julie Bogdan,D.C. Intuitive Holistic Practitioner :
I am honored to team-up with Kate for this retreat!! As we honor the summers solstice it reminds me that this is a time of activation , an opportunity to create a new framework, and be in greater balance with both the physical and emotional body. My desire is to assist in your connection to a deeper aligned framework through gentle Chiropractic Techniques. I will also offer the opportunity to connect with your physical body and emotional body through a technique called NET - NeuroEmotionalTechnique https://www.netmindbody.com/

These offerings are paired with Kate's Earth Ways Yoga and Natural World Teachings as an additional way for you to bridge the physical and emotional body in order to stand stronger in your alignment.

My wish for you is to leave the retreat with a stronger sense of center to bring forth, not only for yourself, but for the greater community. You find out more by visiting my website, https://drjuliebogdan.com
