The Rhythm of the Day

The retreat moves gently between grounding practices, seasonal meals, quiet reflection, movement, restorative wellness, and time outdoors throughout the farm and surrounding landscape.

Morning Opening | Includes light breakfast
Blue Hydrangea's founder, Lenoure, will open the day in community with The Blue Hydrangea signature Harnessing the Fire Horse practice. The session includes movement, grounding breathwork, and guided reflection designed to gently awaken energy, encourage clarity, and support movement into a new season with greater confidence, vitality, and intention. After the opening session, guests are invited to continue with Lenoure for a beautiful yin yoga flow, or to enjoy quiet time throughout the farm in reflective spaces for journaling and creativity. Please also feel free to schedule restorative add-on services during this free time.

Afternoon & Evening Immersion | Includes dinner
A restorative afternoon and evening experience centered around somatic flow, seasonal nourishment, and guided storytelling inspired by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés Women Who Run With the Wolves.

Guests will experience Gisele’s Somatic Activated Healing (SAH) Method, a movement- and breath-based practice designed to support emotion release, nervous system regulation, grounding, and embodied reflection through sensation, rhythm, and presence. 

As the day moves into evening, Zarife Quinn will guide a reflective storytelling and reflection experience inspired by the Wild Woman archetype, weaving together themes of instinct, belonging, intuition, creativity, and reclaiming the untamed self through stories such as The Ugly Duckling and La Loba.

We will offer space between sessions for guests to enjoy meaningful conversation, quiet reflection, and restorative add-on offerings. 

Full Day Solstice Retreat - Best Value | Includes the light breakfast, lunch, and dinner
The complete Summer Solstice retreat experience, including full access to the day’s offerings, seasonal farm breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Fire Horse movement and meditation, somatic exploration, guided storytelling inspired by Women Who Run With the Wolves, quiet reflective spaces throughout the property, and optional restorative add-on offerings.

Designed as a full-day immersion into movement, reflection, nourishment, creativity, and seasonal renewal as the farm settles gently into the longest days of summer.
