Autumn Retreat: Embracing change

Autumn teaches us to embrace change.  Colorful leaves fall to nurture the earth, allowing the trees to go into a deep sleep. So they can return even better than before.

Let’s come together to embrace changing for the better. Let meditation put you in touch with your inner self. Practice yoga to release and purify your body. Engage in creative art to reveal another side of you. Explore the intricacies of change…its obstacles and possibilities. Then escape into a world of your own making with a magical sound bath. 

Our retreat is open all adults from anywhere.

*Yoga Nidra, called “dynamic sleep” is a deep meditation that brings you somewhere between a sleep and an awake state, where you explore the Five Koshas (sheaths or layers): Annamaya Kosha...the body; Pranamaya Kosha...energy; Manomaya Kosha…the mind…Vjanamaya Kosha...the intellect; and finally, Anandamaya Kosha...bliss.

Yoga Nidra has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, release tension and heal the body, so much so that it is effectively used to treat stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD and addictive behavior.

Enjoy the regenerative effects of Yoga Nidra as you journey deep inside your physical, energy and spiritual bodies for deep relaxation.
