Spiritual Counseling

Spiritual Counseling is therapeutic, but is not therapy. Through deep listening and intuitive coaching, Oriens spiritual counselor Rev. Sandra Bargman supports you in accessing your own inner knowing and wisdom about yourself and your life. Spiritual Counseling honors your personal religious background and spiritual framework, and invites them into your self-exploration.

It uses the circumstances of your present situations...negative beliefs, destructive habits and patterns, or difficult health issues to find the seeds of deeper self-understanding and transformation. It is a sacred space for you explore your own life experience, your stories, to know your deepest nature.

Spiritual Counseling is a featured part of our Fertility Enhancement Care Plan, helping women come to terms with feelings, beliefs, fears and more around their ability to conceive and be a mother.

Astrology and Intuitive Readings

Astrology does not define the future, rather, it is a beautiful symbolic language that describes a pulse, a pattern that affects us all - and we choose how we respond. Astrology is a practical tool. It helps you navigate your world by mapping your own true nature, and the flow around you, so you can work with - rather than buck - the currents. Astrology is useful in looking at the relationships, patterns and forces operating in our lives, at different stages of our lives.

Readings start with a deep look at you: your natal chart, transits and progressions, and, if the question is around your place in the world, astro-locality charts. Your session may look at the timing and pacing of major events or launching of new efforts.

Oriens astrologer/intuitive Heather Roan Robbins specializes in charts of relationship: relationships between couples, family, teams, or the relationship between you and your work or life-purpose, co-workers or employees. In every reading you are asked to consider and listen to your own intuition first and foremost as you receive information and benefit from Heather's intuitive and astrologic skills. Readings are done by phone. In-person appointments are available at various times of the year depending on Heather's travel schedule.

Oriens Retreats for Women

“When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another – and ourselves.”

— Jack Kornfield

Oriens retreats are for women, with the express purpose of exploring our understanding and feelings around vital aspects of our lives. We bring you together with experts, giving you one-on-one and group time with them.

Changing gears, slowing down, removing oneself from the pressures and environment of regular life, indulging in learning and growth. Renewal of body, of mind and of spirit. Webster's Dictionary defines retreat as "a place of privacy or safety, refuge; a period of group withdrawal for prayer, meditation, study, and instruction under a director."

The Oriens Retreat House

The Oriens Retreat House is located on a charming mountaintop in the beautiful Hudson Valley, in legendary Woodstock, NY. We also plan destination retreats around the world.

Oriens Nia Dance

Oriens Dance brings women of all generations together to celebrate movement and the joy of dancing! Weaving together fun music and movement with the intention to connect body, mind and spirit, the class draws heavily on Nia. One beautiful Nia motto is: Love Your Body, Love Your Life. Come to class to Play! Work out! Make friends! Dance! Divine!

At Oriens, dance is a key women's health strategy and a featured part of our Fertility Enhancement Care Plan. We encourage all of our fertility, well-pregnancy and hormone balance patients to free the body and find balance through the joy and pleasure of movement.

Chinese medicine recognizes the close relationship between reproductive function and the nervous system, endocrine system, and emotional life. Oriens Woman Divine Dance, led by Rachel Duvall, BFA, is designed to honor and nourish these connections.

Private Yoga

Yoga means "union," of you with yourself. Yoga is a practice of using breath, physical movements and forms to allow your best health and mental state to emerge. Yoga can be used to improve strength, flexibility, agility, mental clarity, and more. It is unique in its ability to provide exercise and relaxation simultaneously. Christina Pearce will help you explore and expand your body's natural expression. Side effects of yoga include a sense of well-being, better ability to resist stress, improved sexual performance, easier weight maintenance and heightened fertility. Oriens Fertility Yoga is a featured part of our Fertility Enhancement Care Plan

Healing Circles

Studies show there is healing power in positive intention and prayer. When we come together, we deepen our own connection to Source, healing and prosperity as we bless one another.

Healing Circles are informally moderated to ensure that each participant has the opportunity to be the receiver as well as the giver of healing energy and heartfelt intentions. You need not share verbally, but opportunity will be given to make your request for specific healing needs known to the group.

All that is required is an open mind and heart and a willingness to accept help from others with your goals for personal health, family, career and inner balance.

Come share your energy — receive, give, meet, network, make friends with other beautiful women, and make a donation to children in need.
