About Flow to Reset: A CraneWellness Retreat
Embark on a transformative journey to reconnect with your inner self and the tranquility of nature. Our “Flow to Reset: A CraneWellness Retreat” is sanctuary for nurturing your nervous system, improving your well-being, and enjoying being immersed in the outdoors on land and in the water.
In this full-day retreat, you will engage in a series of activities aimed at fostering mindfulness. The day will begin with beathwork and meditation to release the chaos of everyday life. This is then followed by a slow flow yoga session, which helps alleviate physical tension, enhances mobility, and improves self-awareness.
Enjoy a quick snack before setting out to explore the Essex River Basin and The Great Marsh, the largest contiguous salt marsh in New England, on a kayak for a different view of the Crane Estate. After docking on Choate Island, stretch your legs with a rejuvenating forest bathing hike through serene trails. Expect to explore historical built landscapes, sweeping views of Castle Neck and the Great Marsh.
After an included lunch, paddle and flow to the main dock. Wrap up your experience with a gentle yoga stretch and Savasana, allowing your body to fully absorb the rejuvenating effects of this immersive nature experience.
