Embrace & Release

A Cozy Winter Yoga Retreat

Dec 28th, 10am-5:30pm | Ohm Zome, Cowichan Lake | $175

Join us for Embrace & Release, a nurturing winter retreat

Nestled in a serene forest dome in Lake Cowichan, this year-end gathering is designed to help us reflect on the lessons of the past year and reconnect with our intentions for an aligned future.

Together, we’ll honor the experiences and growth we’ve gained, release what no longer serves us, and open ourselves to envisioning what we want to welcome into our lives.

Retreat Flow

Welcome Circle & Dharma Talk: Gather in community and connect over tea as we explore how the season of winter invites rest, introspection, and letting go to create space for new possibilities.

Vinyasa Yoga Practice: Flow through a dynamic practice to energize and ground.

Breathwork: Dive deep into breathing exercises to support your nervous system, release tension, and cultivate greater clarity and balance.

Vegan Lunch & Snacks: Enjoy a delicious plant-based meal along with nutritious snacks and tea to keep you nourished and cozy throughout the day.

Fire Cacao Ceremony with Meditation & Journalling: Release old patterns and embrace transformation as we share in a heart-opening cacao ritual by the fire, incorporating guided meditation and journaling for reflection and intention-setting.

Yin Yoga & Sound: Wind down with a gentle candle-lit yoga practice while experiencing the enchanting sound of the harmonium.

Embrace the warmth of community, the beauty of nature, & the power of intention to start the new year with renewed purpose & a deeper connection to your yoga & spiritual practice

Meet your Hosts

Rebekah Erickson

Welcome! I'm Rebekah, a certified meditation facilitator, yoga teacher and wellness educator with a vision to combine ancient spiritual practices with modern psychological science to help people live happier, healthier, more purposeful and connected lives. As the founder of Anchored Mind, I host meditation and wellness workshops and events, drawing upon the knowledge I've gained from my training as a meditation and yoga teacher, background in psychology and public health (MSc, BA), working in mental health and wellness promotion, and studying various spiritual traditions. I'm passionate about the transformation that comes from tuning into the present moment, exploring our minds, opening our hearts, and connecting more deeply to ourselves, our community, and our purpose.

Karla Gonzalez

Born in Mexico City, my journey into the world of yoga began at the age of twelve. This early start led me down a transformative path of self-healing and self-knowledge. My first introduction to yoga was in 2008 with the 26and2 series, and in 2014, I started sharing my passion as a teacher. My teachings are deeply rooted in the traditions of the Ghosh and Ashtanga yoga lineages. My love for movement and holistic wellness inspired me to pursue studies in holistic nutrition and herbal medicine, equipping me to support others in their health journeys. Today, I am dedicated to teaching yoga and leading retreats, creating spaces for growth and transformation. As a Holistic Nutritionist and Herbalist, I also offer personalized health consultations online, helping clients achieve balance and vitality in their lives.

Radiant Renewal Retreat is co-hosted by Rebekah Erickson from Anchored Mind and Karla Gonzalez from Rooted Path, two experienced and certified yoga and meditation teachers and wellness practitioners living in Victoria BC.
