Immerse Retreat: May 6, 2023

Immerse Retreat finally took place on May 6, 2023 at Conscious Lab. This retreat has been in the works for a long time and I am beyond grateful the retreat was a success. We welcomed 31 beautiful individuals for an evening of movement, journaling, and sound healing.

My dream / manifestation has always been to create my own Retreat. Full disclosure, I honestly didn’t know if anyone would even sign up so I didn’t want to go all in and host a large event. I decided to start small and have an intimate evening for the first retreat. I knew that I wanted to create something that was my very own, authentically me, and on my own terms. With that being said putting myself out there without any studio backing was super scary. My anxiety was at an all time high even though the retreat sold out. I wanted everything to be perfect! I don’t think I slept a wink for a week prior to this retreat. But now that it’s all said and done I can honestly say it was worth all the work, all the planning, and the retreat fell into place perfectly. Perfectly in the sense that I was able to let all my insecurities go - and just lead this retreat as Me.

My intention behind creating Immerse Retreats was to create a safe space for everyone to arrive exactly as they are, and leave feeling lighter and more free. Immerse Retreat centers around 4 Pillars of Wellness: Movement (Yoga), Reflection (Journaling), Rest (Meditation + Sound Healing), and Connection (both with yourself and new friends). The absolute highlight for me was seeing all the new connections being made. It was so magical witnessing you all move, breathe, journal, and connect collectively as one beautiful pack. I truly hope this community of ours continues to grow and flourish. Stay tuned for the next one Friends!

Namaste,

Pei

PS: FUN FACT - for those of you who were at the Retreat, I was experiencing a major OCD attack during the entire 3 hours because none of your Yoga mats were the same and they weren’t all lined up perfectly in order! hahaha. I hid my anxiety pretty well I think! So, for the next event I will be providing Mats and props all lined up for you all! =)

Lastly, in no particular order Immerse Retreat welcomes our first 31 VIP community members:

CELIA, CHRISTY, MICHELLE, LILY, CANDICE, MIKE, JASMINE, SUSIE, ALLISON, TAMI, WARNER, OLIVIA, LARA, CARLEY, JEN, LAURA, NANCY, ABIGAIL, AMY, HADLEY, LORRAINE, LIZ, SACHA, ROSE, JAMES, JULIA, CHELSEA, SIMONE, LISA, CHRISTIE L, AND SEAN.

Sound Healing

Hi Friends!

Welcome to my very first blog post. I can’t believe this website is live and I’m now a “blogger.” I thought it would be fitting that my first post be about Sound Healing. I don’t always get to make this spiel during my classes and I know there are always so many questions about why you feel or experience certain emotions/thoughts during a Sound Bath. Hopefully this will give you a better understanding of what this beautiful practice is all about.

Sound healing is the practice of using different sounds to improve your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. I experienced my first Sound Bath in Bali and immediately I felt the transformation and knew it was something I had to share in my classes.

Generally, a sound bath is a meditative experience where one is “bathed” in sound waves. Such instruments can include Singing Bowls, Chimes, and Gongs. When you immerse yourself in a sound bath and focus your attention on what you hear, your brain waves slow down. They go from a more active state (beta) to a more relaxed (alpha) or even dream-like state (theta). The sounds offered during the session are an invitation to immerse yourself in a deeper state of consciousness, an opportunity to balance out your energy centers (chakras) and fully drop into the present moment.

Resonance is the frequency at which an object vibrates most naturally. We are all vibrating beings - with that being said, our bodies automatically resonates to sound. Alchemical Crystal Singing Bowls are made of pure quartz, mixed with crystals, semi-precious or precious stones, minerals, and precious metals. They have been crafted to produce a unique sound (specific note) and have incredible transformative properties. Each note is linked to an energy center or chakra. By playing each bowl or all of them simultaneously creates a certain healing/cleansing vibration to take place.
