Summer “Soul-o”

DIY Mini- Retreats to Refresh all Summer Long

If you’re looking for a summer of soul-full abundance, these 6 self-guided mini-retreats will lead you toward more health, happiness, and vitality.

Think of it like a spa for your soul all summer long - anytime, anywhere!

We will explore six themes (see below) that mirror the movements of the summer season so that when September arrives you will have a new perspective and gratitude that you long for.

You can use one, two, or all six of these retreats. The choice is yours!

Each of the 6 mini retreats will include:

• a short video by Christa exploring the theme, offering wisdom for the season ahead

• curated practices that help bring more play to your soul!

• Journal Reflection questions to help you dig deeper and notice the movements of your inner life

• poetry, music, podcasts, and videos to support your experience

This will be a unique experience that is designed to restore you, and not overwhelm you.

These gentle DIY and easy to use-at-your-own-pace resources will always be available to you - anytime (truly…anytime, anywhere!). Even after the summer ends, you’ll have access to these resources.

About the six retreat themes:

Retreat #1 - Finding My Place

In this first retreat, you’ll discover how you truly belong and why it matters. No matter how lonely, burned out, or dull you might feel heading into the summer, you’ll be guided through an experience that helps set up your entire summer for more delight, trust, and clarity.

Retreat #2 - It’s All Gold

In the heart of July, you’ll be gently guided into practices that inspire more awe, and you’ll begin to notice how beauty is drawing you in at every turn.

Retreat #3 - The Masterpiece

Creativity and expression are key ingredients in living a vital fully-human life. If you’re concerned that you’re not creative, no fear. We’re not talking about creating traditional art, we’re exploring the unique qualities of imagination and originality inherent in every living thing - including you!

Retreat #4 - You’re Invited to the Feast

As we roll into the heart of August, your senses will guide you to the bounty of the season, and of your own life. You’ll taste, see, touch, smell and hear the season like never before.

Retreat #5 - The Art of Letting Go

The days are growing noticeably shorter, but this retreat is not short on one very important idea: life is always changing, and we can welcome its impermanence.

Retreat #6 - Bowing to the season

Our final retreat resource will culminate in heartfelt gratitude. It’s designed to ease you out of the summer and anticipate all the gifts the Autumn season will bring.

(Note: you can use each of these anytime, but they are designed sequentially so that you can follow one theme every two weeks throughout the entire summer, beginning at the Summer Solstice and ending in mid-September just before the first day of Autumn.)
