Somatic Practice for Soul Expression (90 Minutes)

Our bodies were designed to move in ways we seldom explore.

This workshop begins with a deep dive into the true connection between our physical and energetic bodies. Learn how movement impacts our emotions and reactions and how we can turn to our bodies to help guide us through struggles, challenges and of course to celebrate! As you begin to understand and come home to your body and soul you will be guided through breathing practices to connect to your physical and emotional creativity. Once you are starting to feel more connected you can explore movement in a whole new way. This workshop includes guided movements for releasing, elements of ecstatic dance and sound to build confidence in movement. Have fun and be free in body, mind and soul.

Price is $45 (or $110 for all three workshops)

Fire and Cacao Releasing and Receiving Ceremony (90 Minutes)

In this workshop we are using the element of fire to release and transform.

We accompany the power of fire with the heart opening and healing qualities of cacao medicine. We open our hearts to the concept of receiving what brings us balance and joy. This powerful workshop is a perfect way to truly celebrate yourself and the time you are taking to retreat. Solidify your intentions and move forward with clarity, peace and a nourished heart.

Price is $45 (or $110 for all three workshops)

Creative Opening Through Crystal Jewelry Making (90 Minutes)

In this workshop you will be learning about crystals and the meaning of each one you choose for your very own piece of special jewelry.

Open up your creative heart while you make yourself a beautiful gift. You will infuse crystals and stones from the land with your intentions as you string beads that you can take with you as a reminder of everything you are learning and opening up to during this very special time. It is so important to take the elements of this beautiful experience and incorporate them into your life. We will talk about how you can bring your retreat experience into your day to day life so that you have the tools to live fully, feel balanced and accept everything that comes your way. All materials included.

Profoundly sensitive and aware, horses calibrate you to love and joy. During this profound experience you are led on a transformative intuitive & physical connection with a herd of 15 healing horses.

This healing Herd of Horses intentionally connects and calibrates your auric energy field  allowing you to truly feel freedom. Breath in the peace and deep grounding of horses’ communion. Expand in trust in the middle of a free herd of horses who choose to heal you.

Horses remind us of our once wild selves and help us tune into the energy of freedom we so desperately need and deserve. 

Pamela Fitzgerald

Pamela is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher who found her way to yoga after a diverse and dynamic journey through the wellness world. With a background in gymnastics, dance, and horseback riding, her lifelong passion for movement and the outdoors led her into a career in wellness. She studied anatomy extensively across the U.S. and Canada, even teaching cadaver anatomy to fitness professionals, and was a strength trainer to pro athletes and post-operative patients. Pamela also became a published fitness model and bodybuilding competitor, achieving many accolades until she recognized the toll that stress, image struggles, and a disconnection from self were taking on her life.

Yoga found Pamela at this turning point, offering her a path to reconnect body, mind, and soul. Initially reluctant, she soon immersed herself in its philosophy, finding peace and renewal in practices that deepened her understanding of the body’s stress responses. Today, she brings this profound journey to her students, guiding them toward self-love, self-discovery, and a mindful way of being.

Pamela now teaches yoga full-time, leading retreats across Canada, Costa Rica, and the U.S., often incorporating her beloved horse, Honeycomb, to create heart-centered experiences in nature. Her mission is to help students feel “at home” in their bodies, encouraging free expression, groundedness, and a deep connection to the present. Pamela’s teachings focus on bringing yoga’s beauty and wisdom into daily life, supporting a balanced, joyful approach to living fully and authentically.

“Anamaya is the best and most beautiful place to rejuvenate! I had the most amazing week. I cannot recommend Anamaya enough. I went as a solo traveler and had the best time. The food was incredible. I was blown away by how delicious, fresh, healthy and clean it all was. The whole week was a great balance of group activities plus time for solo adventures. This trip was the perfect was to disconnect, relax and rejuvenate.” – Eden
