ACTIVITIES
Awaken the Body, Stimulate the Mind, and Feed the Soul
"Core" Arts in all our retreats
A Dance Experience for ALL movement abilities, even those that have never Danced before. Awaken the body, Stimulate the Mind, Feed the Soul. Designed, and choreographed by world renowned choreographer Sherry Zunker.
The Artistic Athlete’s secret - This class has been designed for over 33 years by Mary Heller. She has used it nationally to re-align Olympic gymnasts, to lay people with joint pain. It trains the bodymind in proper alignment using the efficient strength of the smaller four, core muscle groups. Over time it changes your skeletal alignment through:
• Muscle memory conditioning,
• Aligned, deep, belly-of-the-muscles, active isolated stretching (AIS), WITH the use of gravity, and barres. Specific somatic stretches that re-organize the neuropathway systems.
• Integration of KINESIOLOGY awareness into other movement practices, and/or everyday movement you do.
Quantum Science in Body and Movement
Valerie Lambert will facilitate sessions with Mary Heller and Tim Hood. They will be your guides into the specific principles of Quantum scientific principles that prove why, and how we move directly is the result of our accumulated, most consistent emotions over days, weeks, months, years and/or decades. The other way is through repetitive, ubiquitous fine and gross motor movement. Each, or both, can cause pain, dis-ease and illness, sometimes terminally, in our brain/bodies when done out of alignment in the six bodies we each have, even by a little over time. Standard medicine only treats the symptoms of these, and "alternate" ways of food, and "exercise" advice still doesn't get to the ROOT cause of it sometimes. How by product symptoms of past surgeries, and standard medical treatments can come about, and yet can be released and/or integrated into the unit is also explained. The ways to reverse these symptoms in the brain/body through kinesiology re-alignment, dynamic, static and somatic stretching in simultaneous conditioning using breath, and gravity will be explained before embodied learning. Exactly how your relationship with not just nature here in Prescott, but anywhere you go, including urban and city landscapes, is effected by our brain/body movement choices first, and relative to our health. Living in urban and city places is still a nature. Affordable, optional tools such as individualized mixtures of pure essential oils, waters, and lotions, plus audios, books, and visualizations not usually known in the mainstream will also be explained.

"My passions lie in the enchantments of the natural world and guiding you in cultivating a deep self-knowing that supports the wisdom of your Soul in its entirety. I believe in living a soul-directed life of mystery, longing, love, and creative expression. I have a deep love of the animate natural world, eco-deep psychology, movement, mindfulness, ceremony, and rites of passage, which I will use to support you in the process of healing and deep self-discovery.
I surrender myself to the deeper mysteries of our existence, walking the path as guide and student. In this way, I can facilitate you in a journey of depth and longing, not alone, but as an agent of Soul, Mystery, and the Earth’s intelligence.
I will provide you with practical tools that I gathered along my journey so that you can more fully embody your innate wholeness, vitality, and unimaginable potential. Let me guide you on a journey to the wild edges of your longing. It would be my honor and privilege to guide you along your own unique path to Mystery and Soul." Joe Mccaffrey.
Kayaking
Don't just get a Kayak and guess how to row to go in the direction you want, learn from the best:
"Born To Be Wild Adventures originated in Pismo Beach California. Ocean & lake kayaking tours, hiking, mountain biking and more. It was a dream started by my father, nature and fitness enthusiast, Mycah Dilbeck. Born To be Wild is back, and moved to Arizona. With the same dream, to be the avenue that connects you to outdoor adventures. Our kayaking rentals and tours will be the start of many things to come, and we want to connect our community through these outings. At this time we are operating pick up and drop off of kayaks in the Prescott Arizona. For Get In To Get Out retreat participants I am also teaching private, semi private and group classes in proper kayak/row technique." Mayrah Dilbeck
