Wellness and Healthcare

Sports are woven into the fabric of American life. The annual economic impact of sports in the U.S. is at least $15 billion. Over 111 million people view the Super Bowl every year. Seventy five percent of U.S. families with school aged children have at least one child involved in organized sports, and over 500,000 student athletes compete at the collegiate level. This is big.

It is our natural rhythm to slow down and be more reflective in the winter months of rest and rejuvenation. Join Cynthia and Kristin for a weekend of Yin Yoga and Meditation, guided with openness and acceptance, to support this contemplative season as we dive deeper into witnessing the body and mind through slow movement and stillness. During this retreat, we will hold the intention to be present in our experience of the mind/body connection as we move towards inner peace and our personal resolve for 2020.  No previous yoga experience is necessary—all are welcome.

A convening of international thought leaders and clinicians focused on spirituality at end of life.

This weekend retreat is an invitation to journey inward to balance, energize, and recharge body, mind, and spirit as we move from winter hibernation to spring rejuvenation! We will explore the seven energetic centers called chakras as we dive into this dynamic and contemplative retreat. As we become more familiar with each chakra through yoga, breathwork, journaling, meditation, and chanting, we can open to greater awareness of our innate life force and experience subtle shifts toward greater acceptance, healing, and wholeness. Join us for this spring renewal! 

Start your new year with introspection and recommit to self-care practices! With the deep letting go and awareness of silence, we see into the core of our hearts and experience the rich knowingness of peace and harmony. From co-facilitator Marti Jeffs, “Heart-based meditation is effortless and deeply relaxing, and results in great benefits on many levels. Our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies are enhanced and healed with regular meditation practice.

Underneath the routine of doing and expectation, a gracious joy for simply being awaits. Fall is a glorious time to slow down and revel in the beauty of being enough. Open landscapes, cozy cabins, and sounds of nature are a balm to busyness, affirming you are enough: just as you are. With this retreat, you are invited to reflect and relax into who we are as the hustle and bustle melts away. Poetry, nature, solitude, and togetherness will cocoon this special time of unwinding and unfolding layers to bask in your inner light.
 

Sometimes winter inspires one to seek refuge in solitude and quiet, which can be rejuvenating. Sometimes too much can bring about a melancholy spirit. This retreat provides space for hibernating in togetherness. The intent is to create a warm atmosphere of choice between solitude or an activity together and reflect on the energies of each experience. This wintertime retreat will offer yoga practices, hiking, sledding, and community dinners with games by the fire.

About the Facilitator

Described by Jung as “a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the psyche,” our dreams have the ability to tap into the wisdom of our personal and collective symbolism, myth, metaphor, and the Divine. By carrying uncensored messages in the form of symbols from the unconscious, dreams hold answers to understanding ourselves and often present solutions to problems in waking life.

"Life Flow" is a retreat for women of color who identify with one or more marginalized identities and take part in social efforts/leadership in their communities. This workshop opens an opportunity to share life stories via guided discussion and creative expression. Art, contemplative practices and restorative yoga are the three major components of this offering. Culturally competent, suitable, and accessible retreats of this nature are essential in today’s society.
