January 24th - January 26th, 2025

Mariawald Retreat Center, Reading, PA ___________________________________________________________________

Time away is the gift we rarely, if ever, give ourselves.

It can be a precious form of self-care - a way to reflect, heal, and restore - body, mind, and spirit.

Time away creates the space we need to discover things about ourselves that go unnoticed in the hustle and bustle of life.

Time away can be transformative.

Consider this. A weekend away. Just for you. No responsibilities. No rushing. Time to think. Time to reflect. Time away. Just for you.

Registering for the Winter’s Hush - Understanding the Quiet Energy of the Chakras (A Transformative Yoga and Meditation Retreat for Women) can provide the time, place, and space to develop a deep understanding of who you are. Time away. Just for you.

Mindie Hung - VSTCP

Mindie Hung became interested in singing bowls when she experienced their powerful healing vibrations during yoga classes and sound baths.  In 2017 she became a Certified Vibrational Sound Therapy Licensed Practitioner with The Vibrational Sound Association (VSA). She has witnessed the healing power of the singing bowls after each session she performs. Clients are more relaxed, clear-headed, and awakened to their inner peace after experiencing a session with Mindie and the gift she shares through the sounds of the bowls.

Reiki Practitioners:

This year, we are including optional Reiki sessions for those interested. Translated as universal life energy, Reiki is a form of energy healing discovered in Japan in the late 1800s. It reduces stress and relaxes while clearing energy blockages that can be held out in the aura or in the body. Reiki clears negative, stagnant energy returning the flow to its natural state allowing the mind, body, and spirit to heal as designed.

Consider adding a Reiki session to your retreat experience.
