Who we are in our expression of life comes from inside of us. We each have a vibrational soul signature that is worthy of discovery. It is the essence of our true empowered self. Embodying this energy serves as a guide for navigating the day to day of our present now life experience and more. When we allow ourselves to feel and know the unique coherence within our own hearts, our cells and our tissues we will begin to radiate outward. The trusted sensation guides us toward action in our life and the bigger picture of our existence in culture and humanity.
We heal and live fully through embodied knowing.
Embodiment begins with feeling. Our bodies communicate to us in ways that guide and heal us. Truth, kindness and grace are needed now more than ever. To investigate what makes us come alive and heal is essential to lift ourselves and all those around us. Inside each of us lives the capacity to increase a vibration of connection and caring. Choosing to create your life in love, freedom and connection cultivates this all around us. Be the one!
As Gandhi taught “Be the change that you wish to see in the world”
Heart & Soul Embodiment retreats are created to support opening the sensation of your heart's coherence and for you to learn your expression through the felt sense. The teachings take you into an intimate investigation of your inner resonance and its purpose as your inner compass.
“Embodiment practice helps us to restore our connections and sense of inherent belonging to the natural world. We need our most abundant and courageous imaginations in this moment.”

…are the practices that will take us through the exploration. We cultivate the grounding field, your life force energy, and the aliveness within each cell of your soma body. We investigate understanding boundaries more clearly and go further into your heart field. This guides you into understanding healthy relationships and a life where you manifest connection through your own expression. The tools are offered to take into each circumstance of daily life.
The physical benefits of energetic and meditative practices are known. Personal health manifests in such things as feelings of peace and clarity with ease of heightened mental states. The calming in the nervous system sparks a regenerative cascade through all cellular systems of the body supporting heart rate variability, immunity and reduced inflammatory processes. This retreat opens avenues to whole health through the practices.
In our time together you are immersed in a loving landscape of sacred earth, golden sun and blue waters that support you into trusting your deepest felt sense.
We, body and soul, are energy. We will discover this energy and how it is our intuition. Our intuition is inherent and is the most grounded experience we can have. You will be held in a space of love and openness as you explore a greater sense of wholeness and health as your empowered state.
This retreat is an invitation to be in a community of support where love creates ease and compassion and offers a state of grace to explore the tenderness of your inner landscape.
Heart & Soul Embodiment offers an experience of layering energetic and spiritual wisdom into the building of somatic tools and intuitive awareness for trusting your body’s knowing and into living expansively.
This is a Yoga Alliance Certified course and is available for CEU’s. Please reach out to us for more information on this.

LCSW, RYT-200, REIKI III
I am a licensed therapist, reiki master, and yoga teacher based in Portland, Maine. I have a heart centered approach to connecting and being with others and a deep passion for guiding people toward feeling more connected to themselves. My focus lies in facilitating holistic healing experiences that nurture the connection between mind, body, heart and spirit. I love to create a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth while maintaining a lightness and humor when needed. At the heart of my work is the belief that we all have innate wisdom and the capacity and resilience needed to navigate the world and all of its beautiful and brutal twists and turns. I believe through cultivating curiosity, compassion, and self-acceptance, we can awaken to the tourist expression of ourselves and live with greater ease, vitality and joy. I am thrilled to be a part of this expansive heart opening and connective retreat with Cathleen and each of you who decides to join us.
