Winter’s Divine Rest Retreat - An Elemental Exploration of Rest
Winter invites us to slow down—to notice the example of Nature all around us and learn from her. Do you sense a longing for silence and rest in the depth of the wintertime? Do you yearn to surrender to a Higher Power within you? Would you like to feel more connected to your Divine Source and embody that connection? The Well is delighted to welcome back Kerry Martinez for another sacred day of Divine Rest. This immersive retreat is shaped by the elements of Nature to help you release stress, reconnect with your sacred essence, and cultivate deep Divine Rest. In this experiential journey, you will connect deeply to your unique elemental experience of the Divine nature within all of us. Through gentle somatic movement, reflection, journaling and powerful rest practices that explore nature’s elements—including a sound journey and guided deep rest meditation—you will be invited to soften, surrender, and open to the Divine inside you. Together, we will explore what 'Divine' means to you through an elemental lens— inviting curiosity, deep listening, and reflection. Through open-ended inquiry, we’ll delve into the deeply mystical nature of how we define and experience the sacred. You will learn how connecting with your elemental nature in rest can support your spiritual well-being and explore simple ways to reconnect consistently with the Divine in you. Come as you are and leave feeling nourished, restored, realigned, and deeply connected. All meditative sessions can be completed in a chair or standing (outside, weather permitting). You may wish to bring a small pillow/neck pillow and blanket to support a comfortable experience. Any embodiment movement is gentle, kind and for all levels and abilities. These are techniques you can take home with you to practice easily! A simple lunch of soup and bread will be provided. Tea and coffee are also available.

FACILITATOR BIO: Kerry found the Well in 2024 and felt a resonance that brought her back again and again. Kerry lives in awareness of and deep connection with the Oneness of God. As an intuitive space holder, meditative rest guide, and sound facilitator, she helps reveal the places where you may feel separate from God—your Divine Source, the Creator of all. Her work is rooted in unconditional love, reminding you of your wholeness and innate connection to the Divine. With a background as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and mindful embodiment teacher, Kerry has worked in hospital settings with many different special populations, and trained extensively in somatic practices. Her sessions integrate deep embodiment, curiosity, humor, sacred listening, open dialogue, and Divine wisdom, creating a space where you are fully seen and accepted, exactly as you are. Kerry offers rest sessions, embodiment, meditation, breath work, sound immersions, retreats, workshops and private sessions—all grounded in the truth that you are already whole. In the presence of God, you are your own healer. You are exactly where you are meant to be, free, boundless, and unconditionally loved. Her intention is to guide you back to this remembrance, to help you align with the highest dimension of life, and to shine your unique Light into the world. The love of God is both inward and expansive, woven into the very fabric of your being. Kerry is here to hold space for you as you awaken to this truth.
