Ignite Core Voice Retreat

BODY OF SOUND & Alyssa's mission is to help you tune in to your body as your most essential instrument. Tune in and transform your life, one breath at a time.

​Day Out Of Time retreats offer a spacious day to rejuvenate yourself, revitalize your practice, and connect with community. These local day-long retreats include movement, meditation, time to relax, read, write and hang with new and old friends.

INTENTION: Come Home To Yourself

Receive the medicine of your own attention, your breath, and the gift of this practice as you connect with yourself and community. You can chill and flow however you'd like throughout the day. If that means sitting something out and taking time for yourself, it's all good. This is a day for self care and enjoyment. 

The Inspiration...

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.” ~ Aristotle

Inspired by my trip to Southeast Asia, I realized how important it is to take time out of our busy schedules to slow down, unplug from the stresses of daily life and plug into the deeper source of inspiration and rejuvenation. Some of the best days on my trip had a magical quality of spaciousness... each felt like a day out of time. I'm inspired to bring this feeling to my retreats and share this precious time together.

Please plan to arrive by 9:30am to give yourself enough time to park and walk to out meeting room, relax and settle in, enjoy a cup of tea, and be ready for a wonderful day.

There is often more traffic on weekends so allow more time than you think to get there. 

Please let me know if you need to leave early.
