Challenges you might be facing

Feeling Disconnected from Yourself
You’re constantly busy, moving from one task to the next, but deep down, you feel ungrounded and out of sync with your inner self. It's as if you’ve lost touch with the person you truly are beneath all the roles and responsibilities.

Burnout and Exhaustion
The never-ending demands of life—work, relationships, family—have left you drained. You’re giving so much of yourself to everyone else that there’s barely anything left for you. You need a reset but don’t know where to start.

Longing for Clarity and Balance
You feel stuck, unsure of what your next steps should be or how to bring more harmony into your life. The constant noise and chaos make it hard to hear your own intuition or trust your decisions.

Craving Meaningful Connection
Even when surrounded by people, you sometimes feel alone. You want to find a community of like-minded individuals who understand and support your journey—a space where you can be seen, heard, and valued.

Searching for Healing and Transformation
You carry emotional scars—whether from past relationships, personal struggles, or the stresses of daily life. You’re ready to let go of the pain, but you need guidance and a sacred space to truly begin the process of healing.

The Remedy

Time and Space to Reconnect with Yourself
A moment to step away from the noise of daily life and rediscover the vibrant, authentic you—free from distractions and obligations. A sacred pause to realign with your inner power.

Tools to Restore Your Energy and Balance
Gentle yet powerful practices like yin yoga, shaking medicine, and sound healing to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit. Techniques that help you reclaim your energy and find the harmony you’ve been craving.

Clarity to Navigate Life’s Challenges with Confidence
A clear path forward that feels true to your soul, guided by insights and intentions set under the transformative light of the full moon. The ability to trust your inner wisdom and make decisions with ease.

Meaningful Community and Connection
A circle of heart centred individuals who see and celebrate you for who you truly are. A supportive space where vulnerability is strength, and every moment is filled with kindness, inspiration, and belonging.

A Catalyst for Healing and Transformation
An experience designed to help you release what no longer serves you and embrace the fullness of your potential. The opportunity to emerge lighter, stronger, and aligned with the life you’re meant to live.

Full Moon Rise isn’t just a retreat

It’s an unforgettable immersion into empowerment, freedom, and radical self-connection. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be guided into experiences that ignite your spirit, soothe your soul, and awaken the parts of you longing to be seen.
