“Authentic Connection” is a 3 day retreat experience offered by Tymi Howard Bender & Candace Blair. It is a chance to slow down, breathe deep, move intentionally and listen deeply as you are nourished, mind, body & spirit on the healing grounds of the The Horse Shoe Farm.

Together, we will practice a variety of yogas (yin, vinyasa, kundalini) as we utilize the power of asana to shift & move stale & stagnant energies while activating our heart-centered awareness and deepening our spiritual connection. We will join together for a Sacred Cacao & Sound Healing Ceremony which involve setting deep intentions, sharing 100% pure ceremonial cacao, lying back for a guided meditation & shamanic journey and allowing the power of the instruments to take us on a journey of deep, heart-felt connection to ourselves, the land and the divine.

Conscious Communication will be explored, tapping into the courage to express our highest truth & individuated divinity to ourselves & each other. Perfect for individuals, couples, mothers & daughters, brothers & sisters, lovers & friends! Everyone is welcome to join us to explore your own “Authentic Connection” and joyful expression!
