Mapmakers' Edition!

 

When: Friday 9/27/24 - Sunday, 9/29/24

Where:  Nine Mountain Retreats in Plainfield, MA

You’re closer than you think.
Closer to the life you say you want to live - not a life defined by what you do, but by who you are.
Closer to feeling like you can finally catch your breath, let it out with a big sigh, and relax, let go, and just be.

 

And yet.
Time and time again you find yourself taking the same actions, following the same paths, and bumping up against the same patterns. And you keep getting the same results - in your work, in your relationships, and in your daily life.
And that voice in your head - you know, that voice, the one that sounds like your mother, your father, your second grade teacher, those mean kids on the playground, or whomever you believe is judging every move you make…? (Spoiler alert: it isn’t any of them judging you - it’s you.) That voice in your head chatters away worse than a zoo full of monkeys and it’s relentless: “here we are again, right back where we started… are you sure you’re not just going in circles? You’ve heard the real definition of insanity, right? You’re getting nowhere fast, that’s for sure! So what’s your problem, missy - are you blind, foolish, or lost?”
 

First, please hear this: there is no problem.

You are not “doing it wrong” and you are absolutely not lost. You’ve just forgotten.
You’ve forgotten how to find your center. Life pushes all of us off course, out of alignment, and you’re not sure where or how to get back on the path.
You’ve forgotten what it feels like to fully trust yourself, to know with certainty that you have your own back.

It’s time for you to find your way home to yourself.
 

This year’s Joy Reset retreat will give you the time and space to find the path that is uniquely yours. You’ll start to see yourself in a whole new way. You’ll begin to reconnect with your own inner wisdom from your highest Self. And your map will adapt as you continue to grow and evolve so that no matter where life leads you, you’ll always be able to welcome yourself home.

 

​

The Mapmakers' Edition Retreat is about:

  • finding your clarity

  • creating a safe container to open yourself up and feel your emotions

  • quieting that inner critic so you can hear your own inner wisdom

  • reconnecting with your body, your container 

  • moving in ways that open you up to what you're genuinely feeling

 

It may be uncomfortable. And that is okay.

You will be safe, you will be seen, and you will be heard.

 

We’ll learn to embrace all of these pieces and integrate them with your thinking mind to create a beautiful symphony that is you. You know there is another way to live because we see people doing it, every day.

 

This retreat is for women like you.

Taking care of ourselves fully allows us to show up for others in all the ways we want to. Self-care is an act of reverence, love, and gratitude. When you know you have your own back, when you can welcome yourself home again and again,  you can show up in the ways you want to for everyone and everything else in your life - most importantly for the people you love the most, including yourself.

 

We talk about prioritizing yourself, not to be self-ish, but to make you self-full. 

 

We’ve concentrated this into a weekend to give you as much depth as possible so you feel safe, protected, dearly held, and deeply loved in our work together. This time will open up your inner spaces, making room for the practices to percolate and settle in. You will have a safe container to explore ideas, ask questions, and feel through what comes up.

This weekend includes:

  • Accommodations - more details below

  • Nourishing meals and replenishing snacks starting with Friday dinner and ending with Sunday brunch

  • Four yoga sessions, created exclusively for our time together

  • Guided meditations

  • Practices to reconnect you with your inner wisdom

  • Group oracle reading

  • Mapmaking 

  • Journaling

  • Creativity

  • New connections 

  • Time for yourself

  • Nature walks

  • Ceremonies

  • Spontaneity

  • Space for all the feels - no toxic positivity here!

  • Opportunities to clear out your mental attic and clutter to make space for whatever is next for you

No matter what Life has dealt you so far, no matter how you have changed in the face of it, I want you to remember that you are still you at your core. This retreat is a way to return to your body and your Self, to remember what is most important to you, and to reclaim your unique you-ness that no one else can bring to the table.

 

Clarity will open the door for you to welcome yourself home.


 

Let’s reconnect with each other and with ourselves.

FAQs:

Food allergies, sensitivities, intolerances?

There is a place on the registration form for you to indicate any specific dietary needs. The Nine Mountain website specifically states, “Our meal plans are designed individually for each group, and we do our best to accommodate all diets and dietary needs including gluten free, raw, etc.” 

 What if I get sick and can’t come? 

We understand life happens. In the event of a true illness or emergency, we will provide a full refund of your registration fee. If something non-emergent prevents you from attending, you will be given 75% credit toward another retreat or offered service. 

Please say more about the yoga class - I’ve never done it before. Our yoga teacher, Denne Ziegler, has over 10 years’ experience in instructing people from beginner to advanced levels of practice. The classes at our retreat are opportunities to move your body and open yourself up to the work being offered over the weekend. 

I’m not flexible. Denne will provide modifications and brief demonstrations of alternate movements as needed.

What if I have physical limitations? It is strongly recommended that you check in with your medical professional (doctor, PT, etc) to identify what will be best for you. We do not give medical advice. Please be sure to practice within your own ability level at all times. 

What if I want a private oracle card reading from Virginia? As time permits during our weekend, I may be able to offer short personal readings. However, this is a group event with focus on providing the best experience for all attendees. You will also learn how to set up a reading with me in the weeks following the retreat. We’ll make it happen! 

What if I want a private coaching session with Virginia? This is a group event with focus on providing the best experience for all attendees, so private sessions can not be scheduled for the retreat weekend. You will learn how to set up a personal conversation with me in the weeks following the retreat. We’ll make it happen! 

This isn’t for you if:

  • You want the trick and aren’t ready to create the magic. If the idea of creating magic gives you butterflies, you’re in the right place!  

  • You’re a skeptic hoping that someone will try to persuade you so that you can resist. We welcome all personal perspectives and opinions; we require kindness and respect. 

  • Your idea of a relaxing weekend includes day drinking and shopping - zero judgment, this is simply not that environment. 

  • You want to get away and party - again, zero judgment, just not the event for you. Wherever you land, have fun!
