Winter Wellness on the Water

Join us in depths of the season of the Water element (mid-winter) for a restorative day retreat along the stunning banks of the Mississippi River.

Start the New Year well-rested

The Water element is all about recharging our batteries. Close your eyes and think about wintertime. The air is crisp and cold. There’s snow on the trees. Everything seems just a little bit darker, quieter, and calmer. 

Or at least that’s how it’s supposed to be. In reality, wintertime seems to be filled with lots of hustle and bustle, like getting ready for the holiday season, or the societal pressure of setting New Year’s goals to get “back on track”. For the rest of the natural world, though, wintertime is a time of rest and restoration.

Taking a cute from nature, Constellation co-owners Amy Kuretsky and Dr. Kim Christensen will guide you through a day of rest and reflection, exploring qualities of the Water element and how this season can provide us deep insight into own health and wellbeing. Together we will share, learn, eat nourishing food (lunch provided!), and have plenty of laughter sprinkled in for fun, wrapping up the day with a soothing sound bath led by Lacey Cline from Sacred Vibes Healing.

Where we’ll gather

We will spend the day at Schaar’s Bluff Gathering Center, located in the heart of Spring Lake Park Reserve in Hastings, MN, less than an hour from Minneapolis and St. Paul. This beautiful space is designed to capture the expansive view across the Mississippi River bluff. Complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, this space will provide the perfect environment to take in the beauty of nature while reflecting inward.

What to bring:

• A yoga mat or something comfortable to lay on during the sound bath.

• Any additional materials you’d like to be super cozy during the sound bath. A yoga blanket will be provided and a few bolsters will be available, but you may want additional layers/blankets or anything else to best support your comfort.

• Notebook and writing utensil.

• Water bottle and snacks! A gluten free and vegan lunch will be provided and is included in the ticket price, but please bring additional snacks that meet your dietary and nutritional needs.

• A thermal mug if you’d like to enjoy warm tea. We will have some disposable hot cups available if you do not have a mug.

Space accessibility:

• The gathering space is fully wheelchair accessible.

• There are gendered restrooms in the lobby of the event space. While the building is open to the public, the majority of the people using the bathrooms that day will be from our event.
