This retreat is designed for anyone seeking clarity and insight into their soul's journey, enabling them to experience greater ease, peace, and fulfillment in living a soul-aligned life.
Throughout this half day retreat, we’ll be exploring your natal chart to identify personal patterns and cycles that will deepen your understanding of SELF. By bringing awareness to these patterns through the lens of astrology, you’ll be empowered with the tools needed to best support you during challenging times.
The afternoon will include a mindfulness practice led by Laura MacDonell, followed by an interactive teaching session, led by astrologer, Nancy Drope. During this session, you’ll create your personalized roadmap for 2025 and beyond. We’ll conclude with an integrative yoga practice designed to meet what IS with intention, attention and connection.
You'll return home having met a deeper part of yourself, perhaps for the first time. With the help of mindfulness practices and a guidebook, you'll be empowered to transform patterns that no longer serve your well-being.

About
Nancy Drope
Nancy is a certified yoga instructor (Hatha, Power Vinyasa, and Yoga Tune Up® & Meditation) as well as a Certified Oracle Card Guide and Astrologer, who advocates for optimal wellness with her family, friends, and clientele.
Her career began in physical movement with her degree in Physical and Health Education at the University of New Brunswick where she was a varsity athlete. Her passion for movement led her to yoga where she discovered the full circle she had been searching for. The connection of mind, body, and spirit through her new way of being, in full self-expression, of conscious choice in movement and meditation empowered her to realize the importance of sharing her light.
Nancy has since fallen in love with empowering others to respect and honour their mind, body and spirit through movement, mobility, meditation, astrology and drawing daily oracle cards. Her passion is rooted in her ageless attitude and living her own life with intention and self-compassion.
