Our services
Holistic Healing
At Aurora our perspective is that there is no one right path to healing .We aim to offer a variety of healing modalities so you can listen to your intuition - it will guide you towards the methods that are best for you. Integration means listening to your internal wisdom to make meaning of your experience and find new ways of being in your life. Some experiences you can look forward to at your retreat could include breathwork, sauna/cold-plunge, artistic expression, movement, yoga, soundbaths, and acupuncture.
Therapeutic Guidance and Integration
Justine and Sarah are both licensed psychologists with individual therapy practices. If you are interested in doing some individual preparation prior to attending an immersive retreat or following up after an immersive retreat please contact us. Additionally, both caretakers will be available as needed for one on one support during the immersive experience. We consider ourselves guides and space-holders but we know the heart of healing is within each person who undertakes this process. We are there to help you lean into your own inner healer and intuitive process.
Community and Container
We are built to be socially connected to one another. Our current culture emphasizes an individual and isolated approach to healing. At Aurora, we believe that relational wounds require relational healing. We honor the biological demand for kinship and support. Attending an immersive retreat means being part of a communal space to which you will contribute and also from which you will benefit. The container refers to the intentional sense of safety that is jointly created amongst the group.
Nature Immersion
There is much evidence that suggests our body responds to being in nature with a sense of calm and a feeling of safety. When we spend time amongst the trees and near the water we often experience a physiological response of slowing down, feeling present, and being held. We always plan our locations with this in mind. As part of our treatment we will make use of the body’s sense of safety as a foundation from which to deep healing work.
