Winter Retreat...A Time of Beauty

"They who sing through the summer must dance in the winter" (Italian proverb). We invite you to dance with us. To warm your heart and lift your spirits.

Let yoga and meditation raise your energy and calm your soul. Ignite your creativity (with art) to spark a lasting light. Explore your feelings or just listen to others in our circle of exploration. Then move like water in a flowing meditative dance with DEM.**

Our retreat is open to all adults from anywhere.

**Dynamic Energy Movement (DEM) Moving Meditation

This Moving Meditation consists of a series of creative and expansive body movements based on Qigong, breathwork, and mindfulness. The practice is done from a standing position and requires no mat and no experience. Classes begin with a sequence of fun warmups to loosen stuck energy followed by creative flow movements to realign the mind and body – accompanied by beautiful meditation music. In short, it’s a moving meditative flow to ease stress, rebalance energy, and feel centered and relaxed.
