ThE DEEP EXHALE
a day long retreat in
Bellingham, Washington
honoring the transition into fall
Saturday, October 24th 2026
11am - 8:30pm
The Deep Exhale is a day long retreat guided by myself, Mackenzie Rae & Moonfire Sauna House. An invitation for you to pause and honor the season of fall. As we settle into autumn, nature begins to soften its pace, inviting us into a more yin time of year... a season of slowing down, turning inward, and listening deeply. Just as the trees release their leaves, we too are invited to let go of what no longer serves us and create space for what truly nourishes us.
​
This day-long retreat is a chance to step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with yourself through mindful movement, stillness, reflection, rest and community. Together, we'll embrace the rhythm of the season by harvesting the lessons and growth of the year, nourishing our bodies and hearts, and creating space to move into the darker months with greater clarity, presence, and ease. Come exhale deeply, settle into the wisdom of autumn, and remember that there is beauty in slowing down.
