Joy of Life

What if the joy you've been seeking has been waiting for you all along—buried beneath old patterns, limiting beliefs, and the weight of years spent prioritizing everyone but yourself? Joy of Life is a transformative three-day healing retreat designed to help women reclaim their radiance and reconnect with the vibrant, authentic life that lives within them.

Held at the serene Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY (October 9–11, 2026), this immersive retreat is co-led by spiritual wellness practitioner Liana Naima and life coach Shirin Eskandani—two experienced guides dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing container for deep inner work. Together, they've crafted a program that weaves breathwork, sound meditation, guided journaling, and reflective conversation into a journey of release and renewal. Whether you've felt joy slipping away gradually or suddenly woke up one day wondering where it went, this retreat meets you exactly where you are.

Over three days, you'll examine the patterns—inherited, learned, or self-imposed—that have pushed joy to the periphery of your life. More importantly, you'll develop concrete, embodied tools to bring it back home. This is not a retreat about toxic positivity or forced happiness; it's about honest excavation, compassionate inquiry, and the practical daily practices that allow joy to become sustainable, grounded, and real.

What to Expect

Each day at Joy of Life opens with breath and meditation practices to settle your nervous system and tune you inward. Through guided journaling prompts, you'll explore the stories and beliefs shaping your relationship to joy, while group conversations create space to witness and be witnessed by other women walking similar paths. Sound meditation sessions support deep release, while the wisdom of your facilitators and the group container itself become mirrors for recognizing where you've abandoned yourself.

By the end of the retreat, you'll have:
- Released limiting patterns and beliefs that diminish your joy
- Reconnected to your embodied wisdom and inner knowing
- Built a personalized toolkit for sustained self-care and presence
- Created meaningful connections with other women on the healing path

The atmosphere is grounded, tender, and intentional—designed for those genuinely ready to do the work of reclaiming their wellbeing and living with greater authenticity and ease.
