meet the facilitators
ELYZA
Elyza is a multi-tasking, multi-passionate mama who loves gathering people together more than anything else in the world. In recent years, she gave birth to The Harmony Mountain House, her sweet Sun Shayan, and pretty much an entirely new self... so to say that she is initiated into the Great Mystery School that is motherhood is pretty accurate. And thanks to this, she is always nurturing & loving on all who come here, reminding them of their magic, and cultivating transformative spaces for all those who are ready for their own healing journey. But don't get it twisted, she gets the cosmic joke of it all & always finds a way to bring fun to the spiritual path. On paper, she’s an 500ERYT yoga instructor with a focus on Yin, Kundalini, Meditation, Sound & pretty much all things “woo.” Her vibe is spontaneous dance parties, deep convos around the campfire, and skinny dipping in the moonlight... if that's your kind of thing, too!
SARAH
Sarah is a dreamy pisces (sun) whose inner child is loves to come out & play. She is the ultimate manifestor behind The Harmony Mountain House, where she co-stewards this sacred piece of land alongside her platonic life partner, Elyza, and a little one, Shayan, who lovingly calls her TeeTee. When she’s not actively in auntie mode (& sometimes even when she is), one of Sarah’s favorite places to be is in the kitchen, preparing nourishing meals infused with love (aka works of art) for guests & friends. Tending to, learning about, and connecting with sacred land is a growing passion of hers, that she adores sharing with others. Sarah is RYT200 Bhakti Yoga certified and has taken multiple Ayurveda & Botanical Food Medicine trainings, all of which guide the way she lives her life & the offerings she shares with the world.
PAIGE
Paige is a Taurus Queen, twin, and our in-house space beautifier — and when she isn’t helping clean & cleanse this place (and other spaces), she is dreaming up beautiful experiences to connect others with themselves.
She will be present for the moments big & small this weekend as support for you & your inner child — but most importantly, she will be facilitating her FAMOUS CANNA*BLISS CIRCLE for an epic sleepover that will help heal all of our younger selves, especially those who didn’t feel as seen & included as they dreamed to be.
CRISTINA & DENISSE
We are Cristina and Denisse — Latina creatives, close collaborators, and co-founders of Diosas Alchemy. Our connection grew from deep conversations about art, identity, and the journey of reconnecting with our roots.
Together, we’ve created a space where design becomes a form of inner alchemy. Through branding, sacred interiors, curated fine art, and immersive workshops, we help you express who you are — from the inside out.
SHAYAN
Shayan is a very special 1/3 of The Harmony Mountain House crew, and is sometimes referred to as “the boss” around here.
Note: Even though this specific offering is for adults, Shayan was born on the land here in Harmony & will be onsite to make sure we all follow extreme PLAY protocols & embody our wildest inner child energy.
faq’s
-
inner child medicine is for anyone who feels called to reconnect with their playful spirit, explore their inner world, and find healing through joy, community, creativity, and nature. you do not need to be an artist, a yogi, or have experience with “inner child work” to belong here. all you need is a willing heart and a little curiosity.
-
NO! inner child medicine is for ALL HUMANS who are ready to tend to their inner realms & step into their truest selves. While all of the facilitators (beyond our play director) are women, we welcome all humans and their unique experiences as a necessary part of our community.
-
absolutely. tending to your inner child can bring up big feelings… & that’s okay! we’ve designed this retreat to be a gentle and supportive space where you can go as deep (or stay as light) as feels right for you. there is no pressure to share more than you want, to “fix” yourself, or to force anything. you’ll be met exactly where you are, with love and respect.
-
NO! And… not no. “Plant-medicine” encompasses many things to us — the food we eat, the coffee we drink, and the land we play on. When prayed & done intentionally, sitting with cacao (the purest form of chocolate), flower essences (flowers and herbs that sit in water long enough for the water to receive their vibration), and cannabis or CBD (both legal in the state of New Jersey) can offer profound healing experiences… and this retreat will give the option to experience all of the above, if you desire, and none, if you choose! The experience is still full & full of transformation, with or without the addition of these beautiful healing teachers, which will all be utilized in a ceremonial & ritual-based format.
-
perfect & yes! most people will be coming solo. one of the magical parts of inner child medicine is the community we co-create. through circles, shared meals, art, movement, and laughter, you’ll quickly feel connected and supported. (plus, you’ll probably leave with a few new lifelong friends… and maybe even a new BFF bracelet!)
-
this is a choose-your-own-adventure weekend experience. we’ll offer activities like SUP (stand up paddleboard) yoga, hiking, and ecstatic dance — but everything is optional, and we encourage you to honor your body. whether you’re ready to hike to the top of the mountain or you’d rather float, paint, and chill — there’s space for you here.

-
not at all. each of our experiences throughout the weekend are about expression, not perfection. there’s no wrong way to paint, craft, cook, play, or express yourself here – as long as there is always reverence & respect for the space & the people in it!
(p.s. stick figures, messy masterpieces & ALL the glitter are fully encouraged!)
