“The only way out is through”

Robert Frost

This is a day retreat for movement, mindfulness, and meditation. We will approach pain as a way to grow and heal. The invitation is to get closer to our pain with a compassionate, kind awareness.

When pain is not acknowledged, it can take command of our lives. When we begin to heal, we live our life to the fullest.

The day will consist of several ways to explore, approach, hold space. Modalities include yoga, walking meditation, silent sit and mindful movement, journaling, letter writing, singing bowls, and other rituals.

Please wear comfortable clothes in layers.

Yoga mats, props, blankets, and bolsters are provided. Please bring a full water bottle.

A nutritious lunch is included.
