SELF-LOVE DAY RETREAT
February 16, 10a-6p
Just Love Forest
In the heart of winter, it's easy to get lost in the societal celebration of love as something that exists between two people. But the cornerstone of all love, the kind that radiates out and changes the world, begins with how we love ourselves. This Self-Love Day Retreat is an invitation to affirm that self-love is not just a luxury; it's essential for building a life filled with purpose, joy, and the capacity to contribute positively to the world around us.
This Self-Love Day Retreat is a rich collection of practices designed to nurture your heart, mind, and spirit. Incorporating Despacho Ceremony, sound healing and hypnotic meditation, Friends of Just Love Forest will lead you through a transformative 8-hour journey including nature therapy, guided meditation, mindful eating, live music, sound healing, sacred cacao, foraged tea, and heartfelt discussions.
Through these experiences, we’ll explore how self-love can become the foundation for a life brimming with joy, kindness, and purpose. By dedicating this time to yourself, you’ll cultivate the inner peace and strength needed to share your love with the world around you.
