This Autumn, I invite you to come home to yourself: to rest and to reconnect. In the beautiful setting of The Trees we’ll be cozy together while we move through a deeply restful day. Our practices will support our deep rest that in turn will help us to connect with ourselves, community, nature and our awareness of belonging within the fabric of all.
We’ll have yoga in the morning followed by lunch and free time to do exactly what you need to do mid-day. In the afternoon we’ll take advantage of the beautiful, protected forest surrounding the Trees retreat center and experience some intentional mindfulness in nature. We’ll wrap the day up with a fun, candle/collage activity.
This day will be a real treat that is intended to give you the tools for a more restful and connected holiday season and early Winter.
You can expect:
Time to arrive and settle into this beautiful venue with a cup of tea and light snacks.
A short opening circle to help us come together as a group, focus our intentions and to create safe and sacred space for our day.
A short introductory talk exploring the theme of rest and reconnection to help us frame the work for the day.
A 90 – 120 minute all levels yoga class. All movement aimed to help us access deep rest
A guided deep rest meditation called yoga nidra.
Plenty of time to luxuriously savor our potluck lunch and walk the grounds, rest, journal, pick a goddess card, visit and do whatever you need.
An afternoon session of mindfulness in nature and crafting.
Self-care techniques you can take home and put immediately to use!
Total support to do what feels right and supportive to you – it’s your day!
Thanks to Olynda, I finally feel like I know how to hold my body correctly. I've had neck, back, hip, and knee issues in the past. I've always felt like my joints are a bit loosey-goosey. (My physical therapist says I'm technically hyper-mobile, but I prefer loosey-goosey.)Even after months of physical therapy, I never felt confident in my knee alignment or posture. After taking several of Olynda's classes, I finally have a firm foundation. Thanks to her expert (and oh-so-gracious) guidance, I know how to hold my body correctly, and, as a result, I feel confident while going about my day tasks and while exercising.
