Blessing a meal is a practice rooted in gratitude. It raises the food’s vibration and can better prepares the body for digestion.
The ancient practices of Yoga Nidra "effortless relaxation" and Sound Healing unite to offer a journey to "bliss state". It is at the edge of conscientiousness where one can experience this feeling of sweet relaxation taking over the body and mind.
Fire meditation involves focusing on a flame to enhance mindfulness, promote relaxation, and potentially boost focus, cognition, and even spiritual well-being. Experience a simple guided fire meditation practice.
Posh S'mores- a lavish twist on a classic campfire treat. Featuring authentic cacao bars, flavor infused marshmallows, and fancy gram crackers, all made right here in New York State.
This is the first of several opportunities to enjoy the Kove's amenities like our hot tub & inferred sauna.
Forest bathing, or "shinrin-yoku" in Japanese, is a therapeutic practice of immersing oneself in nature, focusing on sensory engagement and connecting with the natural world to promote overall well-being. Witness the sunrise during this mindful hike along the banks of the Moose River. Once we have arrived at the falls, we will welcome in the energy of the day with a Qigong movement practice.
Kundalini is the “yoga of awakening”. Nichole Workman of Mindful Motivation is certified in this ancient practice, and extremely passionate about it! She will be here to offer you a beautiful Kundalini class, presenting you with the potential to deepen your connection with your truest, wisest self.
Let's talk about intuition, the energy that our thoughts produce, and the theory around co-creating with the universe, also known as “manifestation”. Can we really change our lives by changing the way that we perceive the world? Is it possible to strengthen our inner knowing? You decide after participating in this fun and explorative session.
In yoga and related practices, Chakras are considered energy centers or "wheels" within the body, believed to influence physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Join Dr. Kristin of Salt & Sage Holistic Healing & Myself as we combine the healing vibrations of Sound & Reiki during this incredible Chakra balancing and empowerment session.
Shouldn’t every Goddess have her own Private Chef? Chef Loomis of Divine Catering and his Sous Chef Jenn will prepare for you a six course meal. Each course is mindfully prepared with pure intention and fresh ingredients.
Fire allows for rapid transformation. It’s time to fully release old unwanted energies. Surrender them into the flames and allow your true passions to ignite within.
Let's use the energies of rhythm and sound to connect on a whole new level with each other during this fun and lighthearted drum circle!
Ecstatic dance is a free-form dance experience. Lifelong dancer and yogini, Ash will teach you to move to music without choreography, aiming for a sense of freedom, connection, and emotional release. Feel the energy of the full moon flow through you during this fun, confidence boosting class.
Research indicates that icy water may help build resiliency, restore balance to the nervous system and improve cognitive function and mood.
