Women’s Balancing Retreat: Honoring Our Cycles, Harvesting Our Strength

Madison, Virginia • Sep 19 - 21 2025

Yoga, Ayurveda & the Five Elements!

A weekend of yoga, shared presence, creative expression, and attunement to the sacred rhythm of the Autumnal Equinox

Join us for a nourishing retreat at Seven Oaks Retreat Center in Madison, Virginia. The weekend is designed to guide you into a deeper connection with your body’s innate wisdom as it reflects the natural rhythms of the earth. The Autumnal Equinox—when day and night stand in perfect balance—invites us to explore themes of harmony, transition, and renewal.

Throughout this weekend, we’ll move with intention to honor both our inner cycles and the seasonal shifts around us. Through gentle yoga, mindful movement, and reflective practices, you’ll cultivate a sense of balance between effort and ease, light and shadow, doing and resting.

This is a sacred time to harvest your personal growth, release what no longer serves you, and nourish your whole self—mind, body, and spirit. Supported by shared presence and creative expression, you’ll be invited to listen deeply, embody wholeness, and come home to yourself in a space of safety and grace.

Facilitated by Heather Hagaman, MA, C-IAYT and Elise Cunningham, 500RYT, RPYT
