Practices

Yoga

Terry teaches Hatha yoga of balance and flow, slow Yin yoga, and some Kundalini yoga, intuitively adapting her classes to the needs of the students. She shares teachings from her heart.

Meditation

Terry uses different meditations to help you tame the monkey mind and find stillness within so you can reconnect to your innate essence that is forever loving, joyful and blissful.

Pranayama (Breathing)

When you connect consciously to your breath you have the ability to change your habits and patterns and work through trauma. Terry teaches deep diaphragmatic breathing that helps to shift your consciousness.

Labyrinth

To walk a labyrinth is to walk a sacred pilgrimage. It is a walking meditation to help you let go of stress, grief and trauma, get clarity and insights, focus, and  boost your creativity.

Nature Medicine Walk

Nature heals us. Terry takes you on a silent walk in nature for an hour or more where you become aware of what is being shown to you. She helps you to make sense of it afterwards.

Healing

Sound healing

Sound is medicine. Terry uses Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, shanti chimes, drums, rattles, a monochord and the power of her voice to take you on a deep healing journey.

Cacao ceremony

Terry guides you through intention setting, meditation and breathwork to experience the healing effects of raw ceremonial cacao in this heart-opening ceremony.

Sauna

Enjoy the outdoor infrared sauna, fabulous for detoxing, reducing inflammation or pain, and fighting chronic fatigue. Using medicinal hydrosols to further enhance healing.

Massage

Locally produced essential oils such as lavender (relaxing), helichrysum (trauma healing, skin repair, sore muscles) or mugwort (removing energetic blocks) are used.

Journey

Pilgrimage

A pilgrimage is as much an inner journey as it is an outer journey. As you walk, you let go of baggage, get insights and find answers. Terry takes groups of 10 pilgrims on a memorable journey, walking the Camino to Santiago de Compostela or Via Francigena to Rome.

Vision Quest

This is a profound process where you spend time alone in the wilderness to mark big life changes, as a rite of passage, or to connect with your life purpose. You carry only water and will be sufficiently prepared to be in the wild.
