This retreat is designed for anyone seeking clarity and insight into their soul's journey, enabling them to experience greater ease, peace, and fulfillment in living a soul-aligned life.
​
Throughout this half day retreat, we’ll be exploring your natal chart to identify personal patterns and cycles that will deepen your understanding of SELF. By bringing awareness to these patterns through the lens of astrology, you’ll be empowered with the tools needed to best support you during challenging times.
The afternoon will include a mindfulness practice led by Laura MacDonell, followed by an interactive teaching session, led by astrologer, Nancy Drope. During this session, you’ll create your personalized roadmap for 2025 and beyond. We’ll conclude with an integrative yoga practice designed to meet what IS with intention, attention and connection.
​
You'll return home having met a deeper part of yourself, perhaps for the first time. With the help of mindfulness practices and a guidebook, you'll be empowered to transform patterns that no longer serve your well-being.

Her career began in physical movement with her degree in Physical and Health Education at the University of New Brunswick where she was a varsity athlete. Her passion for movement led her to yoga where she discovered the full circle she had been searching for.

Past Reviews
"Meditation has become such a beneficial addition to my life. Nancy creates an inclusive and welcoming environment that allows anyone who attends to feel as though they have succeeded in their practice. Her classes are educational and progressive, and as a result, I have been able to take what I have learned in class and apply it daily. I leave each session, more grounded, mindful, and motivated to continue doing what's best for my mind, spirit and soul."
