Move Your Body
Get out of your day to day routine by using your body in ways you don’t on a regular basis. Create space for reflection, renewal, learning, and fostering more energy. When you take opportunity to get outside of your routine, your perspective shifts and you can see it all more clearly. Whether you need to see into the past, be in the present, or look toward the future, this retreat is a weekend set aside without distractions. Here’s a chance to relax and unwind in a very purposeful way, and get your body moving in a rhythm that is hard to achieve in the normal settings of home and work.
Move Your Mind
Set your intention, come with purpose. Curb the overthinking we all tend toward and let the calm of meditation and yoga. Learn something new while creating with natural plant based ingredients that reset your mind, soul, and body. Spend time in the moment and be present with yourself. Getting out of your normal routine creates new neural pathways and lowers cortisol in your brain to help you deal with stress, cleansing it from your system and giving you a calmer space to make decisions.
Move Your Energy
Maybe you’ll learn a new pose or perfect one you’ve always wanted to nail. Feel that sense of accomplishment and empowerment in making your own unique version of products at the workshops that you would normally buy at the store. Using ingredients that nourish your body rather than harm it with synthetics, all while being good for the planet, too. Committing to a daily yoga ritual at the retreat will help to build a foundation for continuing this healthy new habit when you return home.
Move Your Heart
Care for yourself by treating your body, mind, heart & soul to a restful and rejuvenating weekend away. Make new connections and meet people who want to grow and learn right alongside you. Take a silent walk, meditate in solitude. Or take the opportunity to bring the girls along for a weekend while the husbands are away for hunting opener!

What You Will Create
Yoga Mat Detox Spray and Body Mist
Create a personalized mist that can be used for body and nourishes skin for the lightest, most refreshing way to fragrance, or can be used as a refresh for your yoga mat after you are through with your daily practice.
You can also use this spray to help you step into a more centered space. What is the intention for your practice? Are you looking to be more grounded, balanced, peaceful? Let me lead you into the creation of a mist that will speak a subconscious directive as you set your intentions each time you use it before, during or after your practice. Take your yoga practice to the next level and tune into what your mind, body and spirit need most from your yoga session.
How can these two things be made on the same day with the same materials? When you are using organic ingredients the recipe doesn’t differ much. You will have the opportunity to explore several different liquid emulsifiers, essential oils, odor neutralizers, plant extracts and nourishing body oils, You will go home with a gorgeous 3-4 oz spray bottle of your new signature blend!
Organic Lip Balm
Learn how to make lip balms using plant based, food grade ingredients! Lip balms are a fun start to a self care routine. They are easy to customize (color, scent, flavor, benefits) and a cinch to make. Learn how to use a selection of unusual oils and butters that contain properties to give the skin flexibility, healing and increased moisture.
Create a blend that is unique to the issues your skin is facing. Unlike many commercial lip balms, a natural formula can help to soothe, heal, and protect your lips. You will go home with 4-5 tubes of a blend you create from organic oils, butters, antioxidants and essential oils.
Lanae Rhoads, Mix Cosmetiques
Come and create your own organic skincare, makeup, and cosmetics led by Lanae, your Cosmetic Mixologist! Be in control of the whole process from start to finish by choosing the scents, colors, and plant based ingredients that will work specifically for your skin and lifestyle.
Lanae has been cooking up good stuff her whole life, starting in the kitchen, where her mom taught her to love eating plants! Mixing up soaps, lotions, and other body care is a lot like cooking – it’s all chemistry, really! If she’s not mixing up something fabulous in her lab or something yummy at home, you’ll find her among her plants in the garden or curled up with a book and a mug of tea (hot, steeped plants…are you seeing a trend here?). All the plant love is aimed at serving others toward good health inside and out.
