Terra Nova Elemental Yoga Retreat | Kansas City

Unearth your power and rewild your soul.
Terra Nova Yoga Retreat – Kansas City
TICKETS:
Welcome to our first Terra Nova Retreat – a weekend full of great people, meaningful connections & magical moments.
The retreat will be hosted at Harmony Lake: A place surrounded by nature, forest, lake, island, hills, horses, and lots of space to slow down, land in your body, share real connections and simply hang out.
Throughout the weekend we will offer different workshops, activities and community gatherings, all intended to support you in slowing down, soften into your being, awaken your spirit and reWILDING in nature.
You are welcomed to enjoy as much as you wish and the program is there for you to lean into as much as you desire, meaning you are invited to choose if you want to participate in everything or maybe prioritize spending time with yourself, cuddle with a friend or go for a long nap in a hammock somewhere.
** A benefit to support Babe’s Ducks Waterfowl Rescue & The Inntirety Peacock Temple.**
Babe’s is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to giving both domestic and wild waterfowl a second chance. We rescue, rehabilitate, and care for ducks, geese, and other aquatic birds that are injured, abandoned, or have nowhere else to go.
