Self and Collective Love Half-Day Retreat

With Alexis Overstreet and Michelle Johnson

Sunday, February 9th, 12:00-4:00 pm

18 Springs Healing and Community Center

Winston Salem, NC 

Join Michelle C. Johnson and Alexis Overstreet for a transformative somatic experience centered on reconnecting with your body, heart, and spirit. This unique offering combines contemplative and creative practices, Trauma Release Exercises (TRE), and a specialized MELT Method Map to help you rediscover self-love, physical balance, and ecological balance through the remembrance of our interconnectedness. 

The MELT Method Map will guide you in hydrating and releasing your fascia, with techniques designed to:

  • Improve posture by lengthening rounded areas

  • Free fascial restrictions around the rib cage

  • Alleviate hip and pelvic pain

Our focus will primarily target the upper body, extending some relief to the lower extremities. Key areas include:

  • Base of the skull, neck, shoulders, and shoulder blades

  • Chest, rib cage, and SI joint

TRE involves a sequence of movements that stretch and fatigue the body to encourage natural, involuntary tremors. This powerful practice supports the discharge of shock, trauma, and overwhelm, leaving you feeling renewed and grounded.

Please bring a yoga mat and any other items that will allow you to feel comfortable. 

Sliding Scale:

  • $75 Community Rate (discounted)

  • $100 Sustainer Rate (pays for you)

  • $125 Supporter Rate (supports others & yourself)
