Return to Self : An Autumn Equinox Retreat

  • Laurel Run Cooking School 2600 North Ridge Road Vermilion, OH, 44089 United States (map)

Hosted by Laura DePalma Isabella of Chakra Kitchen + Wellness at Laurel Run, with Lauren Miceli of Sacred Rising Yoga + special guest Revival Body Care's Nicole Dzurko

Just as the seasons change, so too do our lives, moving through cycles of growth, harvest, dormancy, and rebirth. The Fall Equinox signals this transition, from summers growth and abundance to fall's harvest and clearing. As days grow shorter and nights become colder, we sense a shift in energy that invites us to balance and reflect. This time offers a chance to turn inward and return to self, to reflect on our personal journeys, acknowledge our achievements, and cultivate gratitude. It’s also an opportunity to clear internal space, composting old ideas and beliefs to make room for new growth.

Our Return to Self retreat brings us together in nature for a day of connection, nourishment, and reflection on Laurel Run’s 11 picturesque acres in the historic township of Brownhelm, Ohio. Join us for a transformative experience and lay the groundwork for a fulfilling year ahead as we share in and experience:

  • Gentle Yoga + Sound Bath beneath the rustling leaves of the shade trees with a soothing yoga practice and deeply relaxing sound bath

  • Seasonal Significance group discussion to explore the spiritual meaning of the equinox and how it mirrors our own growth and transformation

  • Healthy Refreshments of seasonal snack and teas on the front porch

  • Somatic Exercise to lay the groundwork for “returning to self” through a visualization and self-reflection

  • Curated Skin Care with a guided DIY Goddess Facial experience using hand-crafted, organic skincare from Revival Body Care

  • Fall Meditation + Soul Inquiry Journaling to open our hearts and minds as we reflect and write in our personalized notebooks

  • Autumn Clearing & Release Ceremony to clear our internal space and release limiting thoughts and beliefs

  • Golden Hour lets us move our bodies in joyful dance to celebrate the beauty of the autumn season under the glow of the setting sun

  • Seasonal Orchard Dinner: The nourishment continues as we sit down to a farm-to-table style seasonal dinner underneath the orchard trees.

  • Abundance & Intentions Blessing connects us with the essence of fall to invite in abundance and warmth with a simple yet powerful blessing

  • Nighttime Bonfire + Meditative Sound Bath: One of the most magical parts of the retreat, we gather around the fire for a sound bath that guides us deeper into relaxation and reflection

  • Closing + Offering of Gratitude celebrates the day's transformative experience as we share personal reflections, reinforce our intentions, and offer gratitude as our collective energy carries us forward into the new season.

We can't wait to welcome you and share in on this transformative experience as we embrace the energy of fall to bring in balance, reflection, clearing, new intentions, and a return to self.
