Join Us for our third annual: Love Your Wild Self Gathering held at The Wild Island Center on Mount Desert Island, Maine. A transformative experience in Acadia National Park designed to bring us into deeper awareness of our authentic selves while connecting in nature and community through meditative and ecstatic practices.
Join us for 4 days of nourishment and reconnection with your wild self! Through facilitated Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork we will foster a sense of connection to our authentic self. Our DJ will provide a Live Sound Bath where Ecstatic Dance and movement will become one. We will promote both physical fitness and vitality of the soul by swimming Wildly in our Ocean and near by lakes and ponds. Through Intentional Conversation and Community Engagement we will discuss important themes surrounding our values and our magic. 7 Nutrituous Meals will be catered on site by The Wild Island Kitchen. Nightly Fire Circles and Saturday Evening bass set with DJ FUZXY.
