Life Map & Soundbath: An Autumn Equinox Retreat
Climb your inner mountain. Pause in balance. Step into the season aligned.
As the Autumn Equinox arrives, the world holds its breath. Day and night stand in perfect balance, inviting us to pause at our own turning point—to reflect, realign, and choose our next path with clarity.
Like a mountain standing still through shifting seasons, this retreat invites you to rise above the noise of daily life—to pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters, seeing your journey from a higher perspective.
Our intimate retreat offers two complementary experiences, designed to help you step into the new season clear, aligned, and renewed.
———————————————————————————
Path 1 - Life Map: Intuitive Wayfinding
3:00pm - 5:00pm (2 hours)
Begin with guided breathwork, anchoring into presence and clarity.
Through the Life Map reflective process, developed by Nancy Vong Johnston, you’ll trace the peaks and valleys of your life, uncover the patterns shaping your path, and create a Value Compass, to map out your ikigai, a guide to intentionally merge your personal and professional choices into unified alignment.
Who this is for:
For those standing at a crossroads, life transition, new chapter—seeking clarity, purpose, or alignment between personal and professional life.
What you’ll get:
A guided journey to trace key patterns and turning points - Life Map reflective process
Discovery of your deepest values and personal “why”
C0-creation of a Values Compass for aligning decisions in life and work
Space for pause, inquiry, and intentional decision-making
What you will leave with:
Clarity on what truly matters to you
Two living documents: your values, direction, and purpose (Values Compass) and roadmap of your journey to date (Life Map)
Practical next steps aligned with your deeper self
Confidence to move forward with life changes and transitions—not with force, but with truth

Path 2: Soundbath & Mountain Meditation
Doors open 6:00pm / 6.30pm - 8:00pm (1.5 hour)
As the light softens, we gather again for a sanctuary of sound and meditative journey, facilitated by Marco Florio, sound practitioner. Doors will open at 6:00pm for a chance to settle into the experience. We will open with a guided mountain meditation before lying back to immerse yourself in resonant vibrations, allowing your new alignment to sink from mind into body and spirit.
The Soundbath is an experience that moves beyond hearing—it reaches the body, the breath, and the spaces between thoughts. The Soundbath is not just heard—it is felt. Waves of harmonic tones from gongs, bowls, and chimes move through the body like wind through a mountain pass, dissolving tension and opening space for deep inner listening.
As you lie back, tones from gongs, bowls, and chimes flow through you like ripples across a still lake, easing the tight places you didn’t know you were holding. The vibrations invite the body to soften, the nervous system to settle, and the mind to loosen its grip. Moments of resonance feel like they are washing tension away, creating space where anxiety unravels and a deep, effortless surrender takes its place. You will feel as if the world has slowed, and you are standing at a quiet summit within yourself—clear, steady, and renewed.
Whether as a stand-alone ritual or as the integration of your Life Map journey, the Soundbath is a chance to:
Release the noise and weight you’ve been carrying of the season past
Sink into stillness to find ease and balance in body, breath and mind
Leave grounded, aligned, and ready to step forward lightly
To make the most of this experience, you are encouraged to bring your own personal yoga mat and blanket to allow for maximum energetic cultivation and re-alignment. Mats and blankets can be provided upon request.
Whether you join as a stand-alone ritual or to integrate your Life Map journey, the Soundbath offers a rare pause in time—a chance to leave renewed, realigned, and in harmony with the new season.
