3 DAY WOMEN'S SOUND HEALING
WEEKEND REST RETREAT
Do you feel "thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread"? (JRR Tolkien)
Do you feel an internal exhaustion wishing for the Pause Button?
Do you feel like you might just snap at any moment (or any person??!!)?
Here's HOPE!
And a Solution: The prescription is for REST.
Karen Brody in her book, Daring to Rest, says:
"Buddhist philosophy teaches that depression results from excessive activation that is not properly balanced by rest. "Activation" means that nonstop doing keeps our sympathetic nervous systems on high alert all the time....(many people) are very busy and rarely rest. Many are on multiple medications, and most feel significantly better--and quite a few cured of insomnia, anxiety, and depression--once they consistently practice rest practices (like sound healing and yoga nidra). You can be busy, and even occasional stress is okay and quite normal, but you must balance it with rest and relaxation--otherwise, it's a recipe for burnout."
Join Us To Experience A Weekend Where You Can Rest, Find your Center again, Find your Creativity again, Find Freedom from Anxiety, and Spend Healing Time In a Nature Setting
What is "Rest" anyways?!
"Rest is not active. To rest is to surrender from the active, the goals, and the will to achieve something. Activities like going for a bike ride, or even knitting, keep you focused on your outer world. Rest invites you to experience the gentle exchange between your outer and inner worlds." --Karen Brody

"Self Love Retreat :
I returned for this weekend retreat (Friday-Sunday) curated by Dawn. In addition to three blissful gong sessions, we enjoyed Reiki, manifestation and prayer circle, a heart-opening cacao ceremony, and cozy times by the wood fired stove (February). The meals were delicious! Dawn had thoughtfully prepared special touches and surprises. It was relaxing and heartwarming! It took a week or maybe even to process. The effects were profound."
Oksana
"The retreat helped me to relax and get more in balance. It helped me to open my mind to new thoughts, direction, and intuitive feelings. Because I came to the retreat, I got to listen to my inner self more and realized I needed to release / let go of certain things."
Rohi
"Inner Wolf Retreat Space is a sanctuary of all the good vibrations. the land, the water, the healers, the sounds and the stars have all had a profound impact on my healing journey. I have gained strength and perspective from the positivity, love, kindness, hospitality and wisdom offered. Thank you.I highly recommend this place and the services offered. I hope to go back soon."
Sound Healing Weekend Rest Retreat
Do you feel fragmented or like you need a break and time to reset? Reclaim wholeness over the course of a weekend of sound healing and where you feel cleansed, lighter, and defragmented. You will learn techniques for true intention setting and manifestation through direct experience. Give this time to yourself to go deeper with sound, feel embodied and grounded, feel renewed, and realize greater purpose in your life.
This weekend will help reorganize and realign your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs in order to create a more harmonious and fulfilling inner self. This could involve letting go of negative experiences or beliefs, resolving internal conflicts, and seeking a greater sense of purpose or connection with self or higher power.

Defragmentation of the soul helps heal or repair the soul after it has been fragmented by trauma or adversity or life's challenges. Shift out of sympathetic nervous system / fight or flight reactions and into parasympathetic / rest, digest, and heal responses. Feel yourself enliven and become more whole through this enriching weekend that connects you deeper with yourself and others.
Meals and Lodging for up to 9 included. Above that number, or if you prefer to camp or have a private space, we have several tents and sleeping gear we can set up for you by the creek, or you can bring your own tent as well.

In This Weekend Rest Retreat You'll
Enjoy...
Relax Deeply with Daily Sound Healing
Each day Dawn co-owner of Inner Wolf Retreat Space, plays for you transporting sounds of gongs, crystal & Himalayan singing bowls, and other instruments to help the brain and body relax. Sound healing helps you rest and enter the theta brainwave state, where you regain a centered sense of Self, clarity on grappling life issues, choose lovingkindness and a deepening innerstanding of yourself, and see life from new perspectives.
Enjoy Nourishing Food!
The delicious preparation of high vibration ingredients turns plant-based ingredients into elixirs of connection, nourishment, and savoring. Meals are protein balanced and plentiful so you will feel grounded and satisfied.
Yoga Nidra Practice
Yoga Nidra means "Yogic Sleep"--a guided embodiment practice to slow down, quiet the mind, and bring the body to a healing state of rest.
Cacao Ceremony
Cacao ceremony has become a centerpiece of our closing ritual for self renewal that keeps us centered, connected to our hearts, and living in a good way. It makes for a beautiful send off with a filled heart to culminate the entire weekend of "filling your cup."
Gentle Yoga / Stretching
Start the day with gentle movement and rehabilitative yoga that is accessible to all. May these helpful poses support you on a daily basis at home too!
Supportive Accessible Meditation
Let your mind find stillness & connection with Source in morning meditation for those new and experienced with meditation.
Center Yourself with Nature
Enjoy the peaceful land of Inner Wolf Retreat Space with the sounds of the creek rushing by, the flowing ponds, the frog calls, and the fireflies. Relax by the crackling fire as the group bonds deepen and we free ourselves with a fire ceremony.
Connect To The Beauty of Creation
Allow yourself to connect to the earth in this beautiful location and feel the balancing that comes with grounding yourself to the earth.
Lodging and What to Expect
We have 3 simple and comfortable rooms that encourage getting back to center. There are 3 beds to a room, shared retreat style, unless you book with a partner and can be 2 to a room, depending on the number of people signed up. There is usually great synchronicity at our events and new friendships are formed. In warmer weather, we do have several tents and gear that we can set up for you to enjoy space by the creek.
There is no 5G, no TVs, although we do have cell service and WiFi if needed. Escape to the charm of rustic accommodations, where simplicity meets serenity. Nestled in nature, our cozy retreat offers a genuine escape from the hustle, inviting you to unwind in the embrace of natural beauty. Embrace the allure of simplicity, with thoughtfully designed spaces that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Experience a retreat where rustic charm meets modern comfort, creating a unique haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.
We are also working to get a septic system installed for the overnight rooms and we have learned we have a really high water table on this land, making the septic situation more costly and complicated.....but we couldn't wait a single minute more to be able to bring our dream to life and share sound healing that helps bring more peace to your life! Until that septic solution is reached, we have 2 very clean options to meet needs comfortably--an indoor Nature's Head Composting Toilet and a CLEAN AND SERVICED WEEKLY portaloo shared only by your new friends at the retreat. The indoor composting toilet is located in the shared shower room and the portaloo is only a few steps from the rooms. All 3 rooms have an overnight chamber pot for ease at night if needed.
Our shared, indoor shower room has spa-like luxury with a rainhead and handheld showerhead, very hot water, and included eco-friendly shower products. In the summer months, we also have an outdoor shower with instant hot water designed in a spiral shape and the color purple.
These are our creative and inspiring rooms in pictures, and our very precious and prized portaloo that allows us to be able to host you comfortably. The indoor composting toilet is located in the shared shower room.
Each overnight room has its own small fridge, hot water kettle, microwave, mini split heater / a/c / dehumidifier, fan, and small keurig. We are at 3400 ft. elevation and the evenings even in the heat of summer are cool & make for very comfortable sleeping.
