It’s time to release what was never yours to carry
Across generations, the women before us learned to put themselves last and carry burdens in silence. Out of an unconscious loyalty to belong, we often pick up that same invisible backpack.
This Autumn at Panoramia, our intention to Live Lighter goes deeper and softer at the same time. Over three nourishing days, we’ll release emotional weight, open the door to forgiveness, and bring back the playfulness that got buried under all that responsibility.
At the centre of the weekend, we’ll honour our roots through Family Constellations, a gentle group practice that brings light to the ancestral patterns living quietly in us.
This soulful weekend blends the heart-opening gentleness of Dru Yoga, Systemic Lineage Release, insightful workshops, nature immersions, and nourishing meals across an intimate 3-day retreat and a 6-week integration journey.
This retreat is perfect for you if:
You tend to put everyone else first and rarely give yourself enough time or energy.
You notice yourself frequently feeling drained or frustrated by the same old patterns and are willing to break the cycle.
You’re feeling worn down by family tensions or conflicts, and you want to find some peace, clarity, and resolution.
You are feeling stuck and often complain or blame others, especially family.
You’re curious about what’s going on beneath the surface and willing to look at your family roots.
Life has felt a bit too serious lately, and you miss belly laughs, ease, and spontaneous fun.
You are willing to explore a little deeper part of your soul.
You want honest, warm conversations with like-minded women where you can be yourself, even a little silly.
Meet Your Host
Mariana Suarez
Dru Yoga Teacher, Mentor & Grief Educator
I’ve hosted seven deeply transformative retreats over the last three years, continually deepening my own mentoring and practice to support you at the highest level. I lead with warmth, grounded presence, and plenty of room for laughter and lightness.
I created the Autumn edition of my retreats, Live Lighter, because I see how much heavy lifting you do for everyone around you. This weekend is my personal invitation to release the old, forgive yourself and others, and open your heart back up to ease, playfulness, and real connection.
Our Special Guest
Devi (Jimena) Hernandez
Certified Family Constellations & Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner
I personally have worked with Devi and wanted to bring her magic to our beautiful community. During our retreat, Devi will guide our Family Constellations circle, holding space to illuminate unconscious family loyalties, acknowledge what came before with profound dignity, and gently release inherited burdens so you can step freely into your own life.

Any Questions?
I completely understand! Choosing the right retreat is important, and I want you to feel fully comfortable before committing. I’d love for you to try a complimentary class with me first (either in-studio or online) so you can experience my teaching style and see if it aligns with what you’re looking for.
Absolutely! This retreat is perfect for all levels, and Dru Yoga is a gentle, accessible practice suitable for every age, fitness level, and ability. I always offer modifications so you can move in a way that feels good for you.
Dru Yoga is gentle yet deeply transformational. Even if you have years of experience, this retreat will offer you a new depth to your practice, guiding you to move with awareness, soften into the experience, and explore a different kind of strength.
Not at all. It’s beautifully balanced. There will be a mix of movement, time in nature, personal reflection, and experiential workshops, but nothing is forced or mystical. You’ll be invited to explore at your own pace, in a way that feels right for you.
Yes! While we have a lovingly curated itinerary, there will be plenty of space for personal pauses and rest. You can use this time to walk in nature, journal, take a nap, or simply soak in the surroundings, whatever feels most nourishing for you.
Absolutely, you can come alone! Many participants do and leave with lifelong friendships. Our retreats are designed to be welcoming and inclusive, so whether you come with a friend or on your own, you’ll feel right at home. Read our testimonials and see what Manal, a past retreat guest, shared.
Transportation is not included, and everyone makes their way to Myrtleford independently. However, we have a beautiful community, and carpooling often comes together naturally. If you'd like to share a ride, let me know, and I can help connect you with others.
That’s completely normal! Nerves mean you care and that something inside you knows this could be a powerful experience. Trust your intuition—you’re in safe hands, and everything will unfold beautifully. If you’d like, let’s have a chat over the phone. I’d love to answer any questions or personal concerns so you feel truly at ease.
Life happens, and I completely understand that plans can change. Your $500 deposit is non-refundable, as it secures your spot.

Feel free to reach out if you have any concerns!
Closer to the retreat, you’ll receive a detailed packing list, but in general, bring comfortable clothes for yoga, warm layers for cooler evenings, hiking shoes, a journal, a water bottle, and an open heart.
Is your heart whispering yes?
Save your place in this warm, intimate Autumn Retreat and offer yourself the tenderness and time you’ve been craving.
