Upcoming Classes & Retreats

These in-person gatherings throughout Western New York are gentle invitations to slow down, reconnect, and nourish yourself in community.

​

Each class, workshop, and retreat is designed to help you step out of the noise of daily life and return to presence, ease, and embodied awareness.

 

Whether you're joining for an evening of deep relaxation or a full-day immersive experience, you’ll be welcomed into a space that is grounded, supportive, and intentionally paced.

Root & Rise:

A Spring Energy-Balancing Retreat

Saturday, April 11th   |   8:45am-1:00pm

With Andrea Neidrauer at Terra House (25 Buffalo St, Akron, NY)

As the seasons begin to shift, so does our energy. After the heaviness of winter, many of us feel the need to slow down, reset, and reconnect before stepping fully into the brightness and activity of spring.

​

Root & Rise is an intimate half-day retreat designed to gently calm the nervous system, restore energetic balance, and reconnect you to your physical and emotional body. Through a combination of guided reflection, restorative movement, Reiki-infused sound healing, and meditative art, this experience creates space to pause, reflect, and realign.

 

This retreat is intentionally limited in size to create a supportive and welcoming environment where participants can relax, connect, and move through the experience at their own pace.

Claire DeNies

Claire DeNies is a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), mindfulness teacher, and the founder of Nourish Holistic Living. She supports heart-centered women who hold a lot – work, family, caregiving, responsibility – and look like they’re doing fine on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and deeply craving spaciousness and ease.

 

Claire specializes in stress reduction, self-connection, and embodied wellness. Through mindfulness, guided reflection, and nervous system-supportive practices, she helps women move out of go-go-go survival mode and into greater presence, ease, and joy. Her work gently invites women to slow down, listen inward, and cultivate sustainable change – without hustle, extremes, or perfection.

“In a world where so much is demanded of us, Claire offered me an opportunity to settle and become present for myself. Her calming voice, gentle words, and beautiful singing allowed my body and mind to rest deeply into simply being. To feel my breath, to sense my body, and to awaken to this beautiful gift of life was such a blessing. Thank you Claire for bringing me back to myself... my true home.”
