Retreat Description:
No permanence is ours;
We are a wave
That flows to fit whatever form it finds
-Hermann Hesse
Guided by Earth and Water imagery, we will tune into inner landscapes and our own intuitive wisdom and celebrate moving from autumn into winter. We will feel water's fluid and boundless energy and Earth’s ability to hold us, and help us become centered.
This half-day retreat is for anyone who wishes to feel grounded while tuning into the flow all around us– our breath, pulse, the flow of day into night, the cycle of the seasons. Once we become rooted and stable through guided meditation, we will glide through breathing practice, qigong and gentle stretches into restorative yoga where we can tune into the magical flow of the healing vibrations of the crystal singing bowls as their energy ripples around and through us.
Join us for three spacious hours landing fully in the present moment, the breath, and your own presence while held in a nurturing community. Gift your body, mind and heart time away from the tasks of life in awareness and appreciation for the elements Earth and Water and all we can learn from them as we live our daily lives.
We hope you will leave this retreat nourished; recognizing your capacity to move fluidly through the challenges and wonders of life in each passing present moment.
