Retreat Overview
Rest away this lovely spring weekend. Soak up the beauty of nature and the thrill of doing nothing. Learn the power of stillness and rest. Becky, Ella and Angie will guide you through rest practices that will heighten your awareness of the need for constructive and intentional rest within your day to day life. Every human experiences some form of stress and sometimes the stress meter tops out, forcing you to take notice. It is our hope that this retreat gives you the opportunity to participate in rest practices that provide needed restoration before you hit that burnout point.
​
Throughout the weekend there will be plenty of opportunities for intentional rest. Ella, Becky and Angie curated this weekend to highlight some of their favorite rest practices. Opportunities for rest include; a healing sound bath, individual and group Reiki sessions, guided explorations of nature through Shinrin Yoku practices (Nature Bathing), restorative yoga practices, structured rest/nap times and much more! It is our hope that you leave the weekend well rested with some rest practices in your tool kit.

What to Expect
Our retreat takes place at Golden Light Healing, a sacred and serene sanctuary that offers everything we need to support a truly restful and rejuvenating weekend. Nestled in nature, it provides the perfect backdrop for deep healing and spiritual connection.
​
We planned this retreat with careful intention. Our main goal for this weekend is to provide you with some new and maybe some familiar rest practices that you can put to use this weekend and integrate into your everyday life. Each day you can expect a balanced rhythm of guided activities and spacious time for rest, reflection, and inner stillness. Nourishing, delicious meals will be lovingly prepared to support your body, while yoga, Reiki, and forest therapy sessions will tend to your soul. Included in your retreat cost is a 45 minute private Reiki session.
​
Remember that this weekend is about intentional rest. All of our offerings are optional. Please do not stress about attending each session or event. Listen to your body and honor what it is telling you.
This retreat was inspired by the works of Tricia Hersey, the founder of The Nap Ministry and author of Rest is Resistance. Learn more about Tricia’s work by exploring her website.

Program Fee
SLIDING SCALE
PILLAR
$222
FOUNDATION
$333
PAY IT FORWARD
$444
The Pillar price is for those who struggle to meet basic needs. Paying for this retreat would be a significant hardship.
The Foundation price is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this retreat may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship.
The Pay-It-Forward price is a few bucks above the actual cost of the retreat. The extra money goes toward supporting scholarships as well as future free and low-cost retreats. This is an opportunity to not only experience this retreat, but also support your fellow community members.
​The price for your retreat is based on a sliding scale system.  We hope to make this retreat as financially accessible to as many people as possible. With this in mind we carefully crafted a sliding scale pricing system that allows us to keep the individual expense for the retreat low while allowing for Pay-It-Forward supporters to help subsidize the attendance of the Pillar supporters, and allow the retreat creators to be compensated for their work. Our pricing system was inspired by the work of Alexis J. Cunningfolk. Some text was taken directly from her blog with her consent. Learn more about Alexis's system, The Green Bottle Method, by clicking on the heading above (About The Sliding Scale) to help determine which price option best suits you. Please be mindful that if you purchase a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the higher ticket prices, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility. Being honest with yourself and your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale practices grows strong and sustainable communities. It also respects the work of teachers and creators, like Ella, Becky & Angie, who have families to support and rent to pay. Additionally, when we are paid fairly, we are able to invest more time and resources to free and lower cost offerings.​​

COLLABORATION
Greetings! This is Angie, the founder of Moon In Scorpio, and one of the co-hosts for this retreat. I started my yoga journey in 2016 and, nearly 10 years in, I am so excited to offer another retreat opportunity. In the past decade I have learned so much about yoga. I am so grateful that this craft has allowed me to build relationships with co-collaborators and wonderfully interesting people. I would not be on this retreat journey if I had not been reintroduced to Ella Floyd. She was a good friend to my sister, Becky, in high school. When I ventured to The Center in 2021 I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she taught yoga there. I started to take her classes and eventually she approached me with the idea of hosting a retreat. Planning a retreat intimidated and excited me. We started to brainstorm and hosted our first Grounding Retreat in the fall of 2023. The retreat was a happy growth opportunity for us. We learned the importance of taking time to honor the self and that we do have the skills to host a successful retreat. After our first experience we decided to make our retreat collaboration an annual event. Becky helped us greatly during our first retreat experience. Since then she has become an integral part of our retreat planning team. I am endlessly grateful for the unexpected turns the path of yoga takes me on. One such turn was encouraging Becky to take Ella’s yoga class way back in 2021. After Becky joined in Ella’s class the two of them rekindled their friendship. Yoga also helped me to strengthen my relationship with my sister by not only attending classes but going through teacher training together. Yoga has helped Ella, Becky and I strengthen our bonds of friendship and share our passions for the healing arts with others. The Rest Retreat this spring will be our fourth retreat offering. Since our first experience we learned so much about ourselves, our strengths and our challenges. Each of us continues to nourish our passion for yoga and healing practices. Ella is now an ANFT Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide. This certification is a great asset to our retreat offerings and is one of my favorite parts of the retreat. Becky grows her love of yoga through teaching classes in Fond du Lac. She is now a Certified Reiki Practitioner and has a great gift for guided meditations. You can look forward to her guided moon meditation this year. I continue to work towards my RYT-500 certification. I recently completed courses through Yoga Medicine on Resilience & Burnout, Yoga Nidra, and Yin & Meditation. I am looking forward to integrating some of the skills I’ve learned into this year’s Rest Retreat. We thank you for your interest in our retreat and hope to get to know you this spring!
