THE RETREAT JOURNEY

An retreat like none other: Arrive and immerse yourself into Alaska, in community with other like-minded women, while stepping into deep embodiment healing & into your expansion…

We will be guiding healing throughout the 8 days with somatic sessions, breathwork and yoga.

We will be releasing emotional burdens, unravel layers of conditioning and connecting to our sacred authority and sacred alignment.

We will be immersing ourselves in the natural landscape of Alaska with glacier kayaking, paddleboarding, cold plunging, forest bathing, nature walks and hikes.

We want you to feel fully held and supported through this whole experience, so you can step away feeling more connected, loved and expanded.

TOGETHER we will…

Step OUT of the restrictions of daily life and step INTO our expansion: to remember who we truly are - divine wholeness. This is where all possibilities within us exist.

TO step out of our small containers: the people pleasing, the overthinking, the over-doing, the social untruths about our capabilities, power and bodies — and rise together, in sacred connection.

Meet Your Guides

Your host, Ashleigh has been a summer sea-kayak guide in Valdez and created this retreat to provide a space for individuals to escape from stress and anxiety and step into their authentic selves while getting to know Valdez on a deeper level than the general tourist coming through. Ashleigh is a yoga instructor & healer trained in somatic experiencing, and a guide of many things 🌿. She will inspire you in many ways as Ashleigh has experienced and witnessed the healing power of Alaska through surrendering to the flow of wild spaces. 

Your co-host Katie-Kay Graham is a somatic embodiment coach and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator. She has extensive knowledge in mindfulness, yoga, somatic healing, and adventure seeking. Ashleigh and Katie met teaching yoga at the same studio in Salt Lake City, UT. Her mission is simple: to live in an embodied state of authenticity, and helping other women to do the same.
