This past weekend, we made memories that will last a lifetime.

Harvest & Harmony is a fall wellness retreat hosted by Indie Spirit. It is led by yoga guide and founder Lauren J. Williams and curated by Montage Social Agency. Lauren J. Williams has been leading yoga classes and hosting events for nearly a decade. She is proud to share that Harvest & Harmony was her first weekend wellness retreat and the launch of her new wellness brand, Indie Spirit.

This magical weekend was full of restorative yoga, meditation, and chakra balancing. Sound healing was led by practitioner Alice Lucas. There was also vinyasa, chanting, breath-work, journaling, nature walks, and intentional healthy meals.

The underlying theme for this weekend was to spark your internal flame. Each yoga class, meditation, and workshop worked collectively as a whole. The goal behind this experience was to help guests ignite their inner fire, reset their digestive systems, and release tension, while also reaping their well-deserved harvest.

All of our meals were curated to help support healing the digestive system and warming yourself from the inside out. We had an assortment of healthy snacks, including fresh seasonal fruit, hot soup, freshly baked sourdough bread, and a variety of fall salads. All recipes for meals can be found below.

The big event of the weekend, however, was the Great Harvest Dinner Party. This boho-chic themed dinner invited guests to pull out their best look. Here at Indie Spirit, we value being a whole being. A look book was curated by Montage Social Agency, and guests showed up and showed out.

We are so grateful to everyone who attended. Without you, there would be no retreat! Please feel free to check out Lauren’s Spotify links for her Harmony & Harvest curated playlists.
