This Heart Opening and Wellness Retreat is designed for those seeking a deeper connection to their interior life while awakening to the language of their body’s life-force. Visiting Master Teacher, Renu Jain, will bring a wealth of knowledge on balancing emotions and relationship. Her aim is to offer an opportunity to move from the stress of this modern era into the Joy that the yogic practices can promise. Our staff teacher, Kristin English, will weave in her dedication and love of the natural world and the powerful medicine that lies under each of our feet. This Full Moon Retreat will penetrate your physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers. It will combine Lectures as well as sessions of Breathing, Meditation, Gentle Yoga Asana, deep Restorative Movement, Forest Bathing and Moon Rise gazing.
To find balance in the life, first we must understand the origin of our stresses. Our modern sedentary lifestyle, coupled with unhealthy mental and emotional patterns cause us to disconnect from the core of who we are and our purpose here on Earth. This has a daily effect on our body’s electromagnetic field, leading to poor quality of health, dysfunctional relationships, and the epidemic of dis-ease we face collectively now. Through skillful lectures and practices both teachers will help to excavate this human situation. By using mindful movement, meditation, and other self-awareness practices we learn to establish emotional balance, clarity and peace. Both of your guides combine years of experience in the Yogic Sciences and look forward to supporting and guiding you into your – SELF. We look forward to reminding you of the call of your own heart’s desire as you embark on a long weekend of Play and Relaxation together in Nature.
