from Sol Rising · host Amanda McKoy Flanagan

Are you a super busy go-getter who should probably slow down but doesn't always take the time to do so? Do you allow yourself to stop and smell the roses before burning out with physical illness or emotional stress? And does a planned rest at a transformational, healing retreat in the majestic Rocky Mountains sound like a good idea? Join Amanda and her Sol Rising Retreats co-host and friend Amber LaRusso, an RYT-500 yoga instructor specializing in energy flow, restorative, and yoga nidra, and certified Vibrational Sound Therapy practitioner for an honest conversation about what happens when they ignore their bodies inner wisdom and forego intentional periods of rest in pursuit of "gettin' it done." Listen till the end for what their upcoming retreat this June will look like in a space of empowered cocreation and community support.  They also dive into: 🔥The need for healers to seek their own healers! 🔥Both women's stories of overworking and ignoring their body's dysregulated nervous systems and the resulting physical suffering they've each endured 🔥Amber's suggestions for dropping into the body with sensory practices, grounding, and connecting with self as well as how to create moments of ritual and embodiment 🔥What an immersive and intuitive sound healing experience with Amber feels like and how no two sessions are exactly the same 🔥Why Amanda & Amber are the perfect pair to do the healing work they do together at retreats (Hint: Think yin & yang!) 🔥An upcoming weekend retreat that encourages guests to bring and share their own gifts and experiences to cultivate a space of collective emotional, spiritual, and physical health  Amber LaRusso is a dedicated wellness practitioner with a deep passion for guiding others into states of relaxation, inner connection, and personal transformation. As the founder of Zenna Healing Arts, she integrates Vibrational Sound Therapy, Yoga, Meditation, and Reiki to create immersive healing experiences that help people reconnect with their inner wisdom to cultivate healing and a state of flow in their lives.
