If you’re curious about what to expect on a wellness retreat and what you might get out of it, you’re going to want to dive into this week’s episode of the Wake the F*ck up Podcast. Guest host Katie Coffee welcomes special guest Cally Skye, our resident expert in breath work, yoga, trauma release and empowerment. Cally will be lending her skills and insights to our WAKE Wellness Puerto Vallarta Rebirth Retreat coming up in November. Today she joins us on the podcast to talk about all the experiences you can expect at the retreat.
To kick off the podcast, Katie and Cally dive into a little bit of background about Cally’s career journey, including past experiences with toxic relationships, emphasizing the importance of self-discovery and healing. Cally shares how she initially got into breath work and why she decided to pursue a career of helping people heal and take better care of their wellbeing, both physically and emotionally. Cally also shares her biggest takeaway from last year's WAKE retreat and the lasting impact that she has experienced.
Later in this episode, Katie and Cally explore questions about why it’s so hard for us to let down our walls around other people, and the impact that generational trauma can have on your psyche. Cally also shares her insights on how perfectionism is the enemy of authenticity and that by allowing yourself to be misunderstood you can stand in your truth and embrace your authentic self.
Cally says one of the ways people can benefit from a wellness retreat is by tuning out the noise so that you can really tune into yourself again. This is likely the most unplugged that you're going to be through the whole year, and this is an opportunity to give yourself that permission to say, “I don't need the outside world right now. It'll be there when I get back. It'll always be there. It'll always be loud.” Going on a retreat gives you the chance to examine what happens when you turn down the noise of the outside world and ask yourself “What do I hear when I'm quiet and when I'm still, like, what is actually true? What voice is mine, and what voice is an ex partner or, like, a bad friend, maybe? Whatever it might be.” We hope you’ll join us on the WAKE Rebirth Retreat to discover the answers to those questions.
You don’t want to miss the deep insights from Cally and Katie as they each discuss their own personal intentions for the retreat this year, and the emotional struggles they are hoping to release and heal from through this experience. Cally also shares how she will be bringing her musical talents to the retreat, playing flute as part of the relaxation and meditation ceremonies. Plus, Callie demonstrates a simple breath work technique and shares her approach to sound meditations during retreats. The key takeaway here is the importance of slowing down and being present
The WAKE Wellness Rebirth Retreat is 6 weeks away. We hope you’ll join us in Puerto Vallarta November 2-9. Have you secured your spot yet? Click here to learn more: https://www.thewakewellness.com/retreats/puerto-vallarta-2024
