SUMMARY:RECEIVE: The Freedom to Be
DESCRIPTION:This Juneteenth retreat is an immersive wellness experience centered on freedom\, embodiment\, joy\, and the radical practice of receiving. We will explore what it means to create a life where freedom isn’t simply something we talk about — it is something we can feel in our bodies. Through intentional learning\, storytelling\, mindfulness\, meditation\, music\, contemplative practice\, journaling\, and sound\, we will create space to consider what we are ready to release and what we are finally ready to receive. You will be invited to slow down. To breathe. To listen inward. To honor where you’ve come from. And to imagine what becomes possible when you no longer have to live in constant readiness\, responsibility\, or resistance. \nEXPLORE: What does freedom mean to you now? \nHONOR: Connect with ancestral wisdom\, resilience\, history\, and the people and experiences that have shaped us. \nRELEASE: Identify expectations\, roles\, beliefs\, and burdens that no longer need to come with you. \nEMBODY: Use breath\, mindfulness\, movement\, music\, and sensory experiences to reconnect with your body. \nRECEIVE: Practice allowing yourself to receive rest\, care\, beauty\, joy\, support\, and pleasure without earning it first. \nBE: Close with meditation and a resonant sound bath designed to support deep relaxation and nervous system renewal. \nIT IS TIME TO RECEIVE! What if freedom wasn’t something you had to fight for today? What if\, for a few hours\, you could simply experience it? Freedom to breathe. Freedom to soften. Freedom to receive. Freedom to take up space. Freedom to be. Come rest. Come restore. Come receive. Come home to yourself. Lunch is included. Guided by Teara Booker. \nTeara Booker\, MPH\, CD\, E-RYT 300 is a seasoned wellness practitioner and maternal health expert with over 20 years of experience in public and maternal health. She holds degrees in health\, dispute resolution\, and behavioral management and is extensively trained and certified in a variety of movement and restorative practices.
