About the Workshop
The autumn retreat is a silent retreat that centres silence and programming focuses on meditation - a silent retreat with yoga. The spring retreat is a yoga retreat with silence - morning meditation are optional and workshops include participation, etc.
This weekend brings together a few modalities of self-care - yoga, supportive forms of meditation like Yoga Nidra, self-massage with therapy balls, Ayurvedic practices, etc - to ward off the heaviness of the spring season.
Meals are vegetarian and dietary restrictions can be accommodated with notice.
“ I was just thinking how one year ago today I was leaving your silent retreat.
I loved that experience so much and got a lot/continue to get a lot from it. These words are inadequate for explaining how valuable it was to me, but I wanted to thank you again for hosting it. I really hope you offer something similar again.”
