3- or 4-Day Brighter Spirit Women’s Wellness Retreat

An All-inclusive Retreat

Schedule for October 1-4, 2026

If you are joining Brighter Spirit for the first time—or if you are an alumna seeking a clarifying refresher—our Women’s Wellness Retreat begins on the morning of Thursday, October 1, 2026.

This opening day, “The Grounded Awakening,” is an essential foundational immersion. We will align our collective frequency through Energy Awareness Training, learning the architecture of the chakra system, and mastering the subtle layers of the human energy field.

Your Experience Includes:

The Foundations & Refresher (Thursday): A deep dive into energy consciousness, aura sensing, and mind mastery, concluding with our “Coastal Connection” Welcome Dinner.
The Experiential Immersion (Friday–Sunday): Three days of somatic movement, Reiki, Yoga, a Waning Moon ritual on the sand, vibrational sound baths, and heart-centered Sufi moving meditation.
Soul-Centered Integration: We conclude Sunday afternoon by anchoring our transformation with a Coastal Labyrinth walk and a final gratitude blessing, departing at 5:00 PM as we move into the energy of the new moon.

Logistics & Accommodations:

Start Time: 10:00 AM on Thursday, October 1 or Friday, October 2, 2026.
End Time: 5:00 PM on Sunday, October 4.
Nourishment: Your retreat includes 2 or 3 nights at the historic Scarborough Inn, 3 or 4 healthy lunches (including a special boardwalk luncheon), and 2 or 3 themed dinners (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday).
Flow: The Inn is a graceful 6-7 minute walk to both the beach and True Light Yoga, allowing you to remain in a “walking meditation” throughout the weekend without the need for a car.

Please note: The schedule may shift slightly based on the weather and the number of participants to ensure the most resonant experience for the group.
