Offerings
Immerse yourself in three days of radical self-care surrounded by a community of women who aspire to show up in this world as the brightest and most authentic versions of themselves.
Yoga + Movement
Daily, we’ll welcome the day with yoga, creating space in our minds and hearts to receive its blessings. Through mindful movement, breath, and intention-setting, we’ll gently awaken our bodies and energy. Our skilled instructors offer a variety of yoga styles, each accessible to both beginners and intermediate practitioners. Mats, blocks, and bolsters are available in limited supply. In addition to yoga, we’ll also offer belly dancing—a dynamic, expressive practice that strengthens the core, improves flexibility, and fosters a deep connection to feminine energy. This ancient art form encourages self-expression, confidence, and joy, inviting us to move with grace and freedom.
Skill Based Workshops
Innershine will offer a diverse array of skill-based workshops designed to empower and inspire. Participants can immerse themselves in hands-on learning, from homesteading basics and gardening to ancestral skills and plant identification, deepening their connection to the land. For those drawn to the mystical, workshops on astrology, tarot reading, and intuitive practices will provide insight and self-discovery. Creative souls can explore group and individual art sessions, expressing themselves through painting, fiber arts, nature crafting, and storytelling. Additional workshops may include herbal medicine making, wild foraging, fermentation, sacred movement, fire-building, natural dyeing, poetry writing, and pottery. Whether honing practical skills or diving into self-exploration, each offering is designed to cultivate resilience, connection, and creativity.
Sound Healing + Breathwork
Sound healing is an ancient meditative practice involving various musical instruments that, when played, create healing vibrations and frequencies to release energetic blockages within a person to heal the mind, body, and spirit. Breathwork is a powerful, active meditation practice involving controlled breathing exercises to reduce stress and anxiety and improve both mental and physical health. Breathwork can shift our nervous system from the flight-or-fight response to a more calm and conscious state of being so you can live a full and present life.
Self-Care
Using her own wildcrafted, handmade products, Samantha is offering facials in the private studio by appointment only. For a luxurious experience to feel completely pampered and taken care of and will leave you glowing, a facial is a perfect addition to your retreat experience. Or treat yourself to a rejuvenating and healing massage with our on-site licensed and professional Massage Therapist. Massage can relieve pain, heal injuries of the soft muscle tissue and reduce stress and anxiety. In addition, massage can promote relaxation and produce an overall sense of well-being.
(Not included in the cost of your ticket, payable to the facilitator)
Nature Connection
Connect with your ancestral wisdom to discover and explore the surrounding green world by joining Rose for her Forest Bathing workshop. Take a walk through the woods, listen to the trees, and be surprised by what you can learn about yourself and the forest around you. Learn about local plants, herbalism, and how to be a good steward of the land. We also encourage everyone to explore the entire 12 acres of property, including the pristine Mill Creek.
Nourishment
Six meals throughout the weekend are included in the cost of your ticket. Your body will be well fed with organic cuisine made with in-season, local, and responsibly grown and raised ingredients. Our mostly vegetarian menu is thoughtfully designed to provide delicious and nutritious meals to feel your best. Enjoy our herbal tea and coffee bar available all day.
Ceremonies and Circles
There’s nothing more powerful than when women gather. During our ceremonies and sharing circles, we are allowed to engage in the beautiful dance of sharing and listening. Before the written word, circles were where we learned about the world, ourselves, and each other. We hold this sacred space for women to feel seen, heard, and held safely.
Sisterhood
InnerShine was created to build and nurture new bonds within a group of soul-wise sisters. A safe place where we can go to dig deep, shed layers, and uncover truths. And know that someone’s got our back when we come out on the other side.
A DAY IN THE LIFE…
In addition to the hard inner work, the retreat will include plenty of opportunities for creating art, sharing laughter, dancing, and self-expression. Choose your own adventure during free times— take a walk, a nap, or treat yourself to a one-on-one massage or facial.
