It marks the beginning of a new energetic year in the natural world, a time when what has been quietly forming beneath the surface is ready to rise.The First Light Within is a full-day immersive retreat for women who feel that quiet call to emerge — not through force, but through remembering.Before the world sees you clearly, you must be willing to meet yourself in the light — the place of wholeness, truth, and presence.Together in a sacred circle, we will gently awaken what has been resting beneath the surface through embodied practices that bring the body, heart, and soul back into alignment.This is not about fixing yourself. It is about illuminating the self that has always been there.This is not just a ceremony of becoming —it is an invitation to belonging.🌞 How We’ll Journey Through the DayThis retreat is intentionally designed as a flowing arc — moving from clearing, to activation, to creation, to integration, and finally to reclaiming.✨ Equinox Intention Ceremony: A guided ritual to cross the seasonal threshold with clarity, grounding, and purpose.🌬 Mirror Work with Breathwork: A reflective, embodied practice to notice where your thoughts may be working against your intentions — and how breath can help you shift your internal state.💃 Embodied Movement: Gentle, intuitive movement to reawaken life force energy and restore inner flow.📖 Crafting Your Book of Mirrors + Moon Work: Begin creating your own personal Book of Mirrors — a meaningful keepsake blending intention-setting, moon wisdom, guided prompts, and visual expression.🧘 Guided Meditation: A grounding inner journey to meet the woman you are becoming.🔔 Sound Immersion &amp; Integration: A deeply soothing sound journey to support nervous system regulation and allow the day’s work to fully land.👑 Reclaim Ceremony – The Red Carpet Ritual: We close by stepping forward — literally — in a symbolic act of reclaiming the version of yourself ready to emerge into the coming year.🌸 The Energy of This DayThis retreat is for the woman who:• Feels something new trying to emerge• Is tired of living dimmed down• Knows she’s in a transition, even if she can’t name it• Wants to move forward from alignment, not urgency• Is ready to meet herself with honesty and compassion• Longs for a supportive, like-hearted community• Simply needs intentional time for herselfThe Equinox reminds us: You do not become new by pushing. You become new by allowing the light to reach the places that were once in shadow.This is where you stop bracing… and begin blooming.🧺 What’s Included ✔ Full-day retreat experience✔ Guided practices &amp; ceremonies✔ Book of Mirrors materials✔ Lunch + light snacks✔ Tea &amp; water✔ A supportive, sacred community container🎒 What to BringWe want you to be as comfortable as possible, especially during floor-based practices.

                "description": "Service Description\n \n \nRest, Release, and Restore through Meditation and Sound \r\n \nMeditation using breath and sound is an effective technique that allows you to disconnect from the thinking mind, and enter a different state of consciousness.\r\n \nMeditation and sound healing is best experienced firsthand in order to understand what it is and its benefits. Meditation is a mind-body practice using breath to train attention and awareness in the present moment to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally stable state. Sound is healing—it’s been used for centuries to treat disease and emotional ailments across many cultures.  \r\n \nMeditation has a variety of health benefits and may help people improve the quality of their lives. I am a student of Duke Health and Wellness who teaches meditation or mindfulness techniques, Duke Health provides meditative space for patients and families because the benefits include managing anxiety, stress, depression, pain, or even symptoms related to withdrawal from nicotine, alcohol, or opioids.\r\n \nThe Academy of Sound Healing is based in the United Kingdom and is one of the first and most prominent research institutions for sound healing. They have found that sounds can be used for:\r\nTreating depression, stress, and anxiety\r\nImproving immune system functioning\r\nBenefitting cancer patients\r\nStimulating circulation\r\nReducing inflammation\r\nIncreasing bone density in osteoporosis patients\r\nHealing wounds faster\r\n \nAs a Sound Healer and Meditation Teacher, I know and see the positive changes in peoples' lives on a daily basis. I am empowered by this knowledge and encourage you to join me in a class to experience it for yourself.\r\n \nLive Authentically,\r\nDonna \r\n \n \nWHAT TO BRING\n - You want to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Here are suggestions to bring with you:\r\nYoga Mat\r\nBlanket(s)\r\nPillow\r\nEye Mask \r\nWater Bottle\r\nCrystals\r\nJournal and Pen\r\nAn Open Heart\r\n \n_______________________\r\n \nPlease Note: This type of work can stir up deep emotions with the intention unburdening stored emotions that you’ve hidden in your body. This process isn’t always gentle or subtle. A person can make an emotional release in a dramatic way which is perfectly normal. It is always my intention to create and hold a nurturing and compassionate space.\r\n \nConsult a doctor before participating in sound healing if you are pregnant, have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, suffer from high blood pressure, epilepsy, glaucoma, retinal detachment, aneurysms, osteoporosis, use hearing aids, have had recent surgery, or physical injury, have implanted metal or body part replacements, have a history of severe mental illness or panic attacks.\r\n \nClass size is limited.\r"
