What do the 3-hour mini retreats consist of?
We follow a loose flow which may change depending on our guest features. We greet you with a specialty tea blend made specifically for the Austin Salt Room Chakra Series by our neighbors at The Herb Bar.
Welcome and special guest: We will enjoy and hear about our tea feature, introductions, etc while we get settled in our guest speaker portion. Our special guests will be local practitioners who resonate and the goal of their talk is for the guests to better understand the crafts of their practice and you will learn how to integrate these practices into your everyday life and at-home self care toolbox.
Movement and Sound healing: Morgan Ashley will lead the group through a mindful spine warm-up accompanied by live signing bowls, chimes, and chakra tones. Peak poses will be related to the essence of the chakra of the month. Ending with a long savasana sound bath administered by Meg Blohm and her instruments.
Cups:
Enjoy a cup of our specially crafted root chakra blend provided by local apothecary, the herb bar
Cards:
tarot, oracle, and birth chart readings available & included
Crafts:
incorporate herbs you’ve learned about in the workshop to create your own salt soak to bring home.
Coming up: SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA RETREAT
We're teaming up with THE Danielle Martinez of D | M acupuncture + wellness for our guest speaker in March's Solar Plexus Chakra Mini-Retreat. We will explore the correlation between gut health and the solar plexus chakra, ways to heal our energetic bodies through acupuncture, acupressure, ear seeding, and more! Our salt therapy room portion of the retreat will be centered around balancing the solar plexus chakra by intentional movement and sound led by Morgan Ashley and Meg Blohm.
Past: ROOT CHAKRA RETREAT
For our Root Chakra Mini-Retreat we welcomed herbalist, Megen Mundy, the owner of the Herb Bar. She walked us through a few grounding exercises she uses in her daily life: making tea and drawing a bath. As our craft of the retreat we prepared a foot soak/bath bomb with herbs and Salt Room salt. We did a grounding spine warm up and participated in a sound bath featuring root chakra frequency tones. At the end of the retreat we indulged in gluten free, nuts free and seed oil free pastries from Nourished ATX, played around with oracle and tarot, got birth chart readings from Meg, and connected with one another for the cups, cards, and crafts integration period at the conclusion of the retreat!
Past: SACRAL CHAKRA RETREAT
For our Sacral Chakra Mini-Retreat we welcomed local birth doula and menstrual coach Jules Alma, who led us through a holistic pelvic care workshop where you will learn about alternative and ancestral methods for caring for your pelvic organs. This workshop included journaling prompts, partnered exercises, and loads of resources to support you in feeling empowered about your ability to love and care for your body. We were given journal prompts and had an open discussion between the guests regarding our menarch, understanding our cycle seasons, and much more including tips, tricks, and recommendations. As our craft of the retreat we prepared personalized yoni steam blends with herbs and Salt Room salt. For movement and sound portion we did a grounding spine warm up and participated in a sound bath featuring chimes and sacral chakra frequency tones.
