Women’s Yoga & Sound Bath Retreat:  Shine Your Light Inward 

February 28th, 2025 9am-4pm

The Trees: 1701 Pleasant Green Rd. Durham, NC

This sweet day will be both a day of rest and a day of invitation into a deep practice of self-compassion.   Every step we take towards this reality of showing loving-compassion to ourselves brings ease, resilience, vitality, health, wellness and joy. And, of course, this inner light ripples out to all those around us. Self-kindness can help fuel us and support us in dark times. Yet, the deep practice of kindness and care towards ourselves is often a challenging one. Luckily, we have a beautiful set of practices to help us clear away old patterns and replace them with the light of our own self-compassion and love. Winter is the perfect time to gather in community and use these practices to ignite our inner flame of self-compassion. 

Our morning will include an all levels active asana practice, breath work. meditation and an invitation for journaling. There will be plenty time during our lunch break to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, the wonderful food and each other.

In the afternoon, we will receive an incredible treat – a sound bath session from Maia Rhenish.  Maia is a sound healing practitioner, embodied voice coach, musician, and Shamanic Reiki Master with decades of experience in music, education, dance, and the healing arts. Learn more about her below! We’ll be ready to receive this deep offering after a morning of yoga and time in nature and community.

This retreat is only open to women. If you have a Tween or Teen that would like to join let me know and together we can assess if it would be the right event for them to attend!

Maia Rhenish

Maia Rhenish is a sound healing practitioner, embodied voice coach, musician, and Shamanic Reiki Master with decades of experience in music, education, dance, and the healing arts.

In her practice, she weaves together soundscapes that support deep rest and relaxation using her voice, the gong, Himalayan and crystal bowls, drums, tuning forks, shruti box, and chimes. Her sound bath journeys are an invitation to enter a deeper state of consciousness, allowing our brainwaves to slow down from an active state to a more calm dream-like state. In this reflective space, participants can experience clarity of mind and awaken creativity and intuition. 

Rooted in the belief that healing begins within, Maia guides others back to themselves through self-awareness, deep listening, and connection to the wisdom of the body and the sacred rhythms of life.

We each carry our own unique vibration within. We are sacred sound beings. We are sonic medicine weavers. We are living, breathing instruments.
