Casa Grande Mountain Retreat

A Wellness Retreat for Parents: A Weekend of Self-Care, Renewal, and Skill-Building
2024-02-23 08:00 - 2024-02-25 17:00 UTC
This retreat offers an opportunity for us as parents to pause, reconnect with who we are, and learn tools to support ourselves on our parenting journeys. The content of the retreat will help us to become less reactive and more connected with both ourselves and our children.
Taking time out for a retreat for ourselves is not selfish. It is crucial to take breaks and spend time without our children, however hard that might feel, so that we can recharge and give back to our families with more authenticity, kindness, and patience. Treat yourself and your family by joining us on this retreat to help you change the way that you show up for yourself and as a parent.
Everyone in the family deserves to get their needs met, to feel supported, and to feel connected and loved. Even children who behave badly should be treated with love, kindness, and patience, but this can be hard to do if we were not treated in that way when we were children. Parents also deserve to feel competent and worthy. We too deserve to have our needs met and to take time out to recharge and reconnect with ourselves. This retreat will enable us to meet everyone in the family’s needs more effectively.
Who is This Retreat For?
This retreat is for each and every parent, but especially if you feel any of the following:

Short tempered with your children.
Angry and burnt out with your children.
Frustrated that your children won’t listen without forcing or manipulating.
Ashamed for how you treat your children.
Insecure and overwhelmed by parenting.

You need a break and some time for yourself.
You are repeating negative patterns from your own childhood.
You want to learn some new parenting skills that will help create more connected relationships with your children.

Throughout this retreat, we will practice yoga – including movement, meditation and breathwork. Yoga philosophy will guide us through this journey. All levels of yoga experience are welcome, including complete beginners.
The content of this retreat applies to raising children of any age. Come on your own or with a partner.

Rest Is...
2023-10-26 15:00 - 2023-10-31 11:00 | Casa Grande Mountain Retreat, Barrio Caonillas Abajo, Road 612, KM 0.3, Utuado, 00641, Puerto Rico
We know that that liberation of all of us will not happen until Black womxn are free. The purpose of Rest Is… to embody the theories of today’s Black Feminists such as dr. yaba blay, Tricia Hersey, Sonya Renee Taylor and adrienne maree brown in stating that rest is not only resistance, but rest, for Black womxn, girls and femmes, IS revolution. This inaugural event will offer space for us to teach, learn, model and practice how we rest in our work. Upon our return, it is our contention that we will be equipped to translate, code and decode our experiences and learnings into our professional spaces. Like our foremothers have taught us, we must position ourselves to give from our overflow. Rest Is…seeks to position us to do just that.

Re-Parent Your Inner Child: ​A Retreat of Self-Awareness and Healing
2023-10-20 15:00 - 2023-10-22 17:00
This retreat will offer a safe space in which to reflect on your childhood, however supported or unsupported it may have been. It will guide you to be curious about how your adult life today is influenced, and sometimes sabotaged, by those experiences. It will introduce you to your inner child: the part of you that was wounded during your childhood and that is reactive when it is triggered. It will offer you the skills both to recognize what was positive about your childhood, and to re-parent yourself in the ways that you wished you had been parented. When you listen to and soothe your inner child, when you connect to the child you once were, you can allow your thoughts and actions to come from an adult space of calm rather than from an inner child’s space of hurt and lashing out.
When we experience trauma (including what some might consider small, inconsequential traumas) and when we don’t process them effectively, we become more fragmented in ourselves. We create survival methods that protect ourselves from more harm, yet in the process, parts of us may get suppressed, compartmentalized, or taken advantage of. This retreat seeks to help you reunite your fragmented pieces so that you can embrace the whole you!
​Befriending your inner child and re-parenting it may sound strange, but it can help you navigate the world more smoothly, including all of your relationships, be it with your parents, family, friends, partner, children, or even with yourself. It can also support you to live life from a more balanced space, with more confidence, joy, self acceptance, and compassion.
Throughout this retreat, we will practice yoga – including movement, meditation, breathwork, and yoga philosophy, such as the concept of svadhyaya, or self study – to guide us through this journey.
Tentative Retreat Schedule:
​
Friday
3pm Check-in and relax
4pm Opening Ceremony – meet your inner child and understand why this work is key to improving your life
5pm Dinner
8pm Reflection Workshop – be curious about your childhood, both the positives and the challenges., and find awareness about which of your needs went unmet. End the night with a slow yoga practice.

9am Breakfast
10am Compassion, Validation, and Acceptance Workshop – befriend and listen to your inner child through journaling
Noon Lunch

5.00pm Dinner
7pm Transformation and Metamorphosis Workshop – let go of patterns in which you have got stuck through a fire dance* ceremony followed by breathwork
Sunday
8am Yoga and Mantra Chanting* – as you hold space and soothe your inner child
9am Breakfast
10am Re-parent Your Inner Child Workshop – be the parent you always needed, supporting your inner child in a way that transforms your life and makes your inner child feel unconditionally loved and safe through role-playing* and journaling
Noon Lunch
3pm Closing Ceremony – reflection on what we have learned and a final meditation
5pm Depart
*if you feel adverse to any of the activities listed above, this may be linked to the reactivity of your inner-child. I highly advise that you push through your fear and aversion while also supporting your inner child. Supporting your inner child through challenges/uncomfortable moments is a wonderful way to grow your inner child/parent relationship!

We have curated a series of weekend Inner Wellness retreat experiences to support your holistic health and well-being. The peaceful oasis of Casa Grande mountain retreat in Utuado, Puerto Rico offers the space and time to pause, to reflect, and to reset.
We openly and inclusively share the most valuable teachings of integrated yoga, mindfulness, and Ayurvedic lifestyle to support you to build resiliency. You will be kindly supported to express your fullest potential in body and mind.
The weekends are suitable for all levels of experience. Beginners to the journey of yoga and wellness will be gently introduced to the fundamental concepts and be inspired to naturally embody changes. Those that are already practicing can restore, replenish, and gain valuable knowledge to broaden your scope of practice.
Continuous education hours will be awarded to yoga teachers attending.
Regular and community rates available with the intention to allow more accessibility to the space and Inner Wellness teachings. Community rates apply for Inner Wellness teachings and retreat offerings, giving a reduced rate for those who can’t afford the regular pricing.
We look forward to sharing this space to connect recharge and grow together.

Re-Parent Your Inner Child with Daniella Gould
2023-02-24 19:00 - 2023-02-26 21:00
A Retreat for Self-Awareness & Healing
This retreat will offer a safe space in which to reflect on your childhood, however supported or unsupported it may have been. It will guide you to be curious about how your adult life today is influenced, and sometimes sabotaged, by those experiences. It will introduce you to your inner child: the part of you that was wounded during your childhood and that is reactive when it is triggered. It will offer you the skills both to recognize what was positive about your childhood, and to re-parent yourself in the ways that you wished you had been parented. When you listen to and soothe your inner child, when you connect to the child you once were, you can allow your thoughts and actions to come from an adult space of calm rather than from an inner child’s space of hurt and lashing out.
When we experience trauma (including what some might consider small, inconsequential traumas) and when we don’t process them effectively, we become more fragmented in ourselves. We create survival methods that protect ourselves from more harm, yet in the process, parts of us may get suppressed, compartmentalized, or taken advantage of. This retreat seeks to help you reunite your fragmented pieces so that you can embrace the whole you!
​Befriending your inner child and re-parenting it may sound strange, but it can help you navigate the world more smoothly, including all of your relationships, be it with your parents, family, friends, partner, children, or even with yourself. It can also support you to live life from a more balanced space, with more confidence, joy, self acceptance, and compassion.
Throughout this retreat, we will practice yoga – including movement, meditation, breathwork, and yoga philosophy, such as the concept of svadhyaya, or self study – to guide us through this journey.
