Gentle Aroma Flow Yoga Asana Practice and Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Bath
This Gentle Yoga Flow will be sequenced to offer an experience of the integration of essential oils, movement and breath. As the body continues to warm, it will act as its own diffuser, allowing the benefits of each oil to permeate fully. To help support the body's system to function optimally, we layer eight essential oils and blends in response to stress, increased toxin levels, inflammation and autonomic nervous system imbalance.
After we flow you will then settle into a supported savasana while being bathed in the sounds of Tibetan singing bowls that we brought back from Nepal. Since the space was once a church it has amazing acoustics.

What is the Imbolc Sabbat?

​When the dark days of winter seem to have gone on forever, the first sign of spring refreshes our souls. There is a promise that winter will not last forever and that warm and fertile days will come again soon. There may still be snow on the ground but there are new plants sprouting just beneath the protective layer. Imbolc is:

• the sabbat midway between the winter solstice and the vernal/spring equinox
• a time when we improve old plans or new plans are made
• a time to examine the people, objects, and philosophies in our lives 
• an opportunity to discard the things we don’t need or that are holding us back
• when we plant seeds for new ideas

Upon emerging, we may be greatly changed indeed from the beings who celebrated Winter Solstice/Yule and the New Year just weeks before.

About the Modern Sanctuary Space

It is a 6bd/7ba historical church renovation where gorgeous eclectic design meets modern comfort. Tastefully decorated and situated in the historic Whittier neighborhood, this converted 100-year-old, mission-style church. Amplifying all the Mile High City has to offer, we will stay in luxury and leave divinely inspired.

It is one of the region's most unique, spacious and artistically-designed accommodations. It was meticulously renovated in 2017, the space retains the charm and select architectural elements of the original structure while taking on a whole new vibe.

You may join the retreat events (and stay in your own home) or stay on site in one of the six private ensuites (two upstairs, four downstairs, each uniquely-themed). It has a sprawling main floor with designer kitchen, the space is perfect for our retreat.

​The magic doesn't stop there: upstairs, you'll find a 550sqft loft lounge, making a grand entrance to the main floor or just hanging out. The outdoor space is perfect, replete with in-line fire pit and custom seating. Downstairs, the vintage Rec room, furnished in classic mid-century modern/atomic furniture provides a great space for hanging out as well as access to the four lower suites.

Throughout, you'll be delighted by the eclectic style, unique art and bohemian, middle eastern-inspired decor. The space is purpose-built for our enjoyment and full of thoughtful details including an iPad-controlled home automation system that integrates lighting, audio and security throughout the property.
