Retreat to be held on the land
Open to: Everyone
Description
Nourish your body, mind, and heart and reconnect with what truly matters most to you in a silent mindfulness retreat that weaves together meditation in stillness and movement. Through gentle, mindful yoga—suitable for all levels of physical ability—you’ll calm and balance your nervous system, unwinding the physical and emotional knots that can block your connection to open-hearted presence. You’ll practice meditation seated, standing, walking, and lying down, learning skills that can help you stay grounded, centered, and open-hearted as you take your practice off the mat and cushion and into the world. A spacious schedule gives you ample time for resting, restoring, and spending time in nature.
This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings.
