Salish Sea Retreat
Expect daily Ayurvedic-infused practices and rituals, morning and evening yoga, dynamic and restorative practices, guided journaling, evening yin and yoga nidra, somatic and breath tools to support integration and balance, meditation and chanting.
Retreat weekends are intentionally spacious for both integration within like minded community, and important solo processing work. We co-create a container, focus on healing the body, offer time to share and be heard throughout the weekend.
As we move into the heart of fall, support your inner resource and nourish your body, heart and mind at this sanctuary on the sacred shores of the Salish Sea. We’ll gather in community to stir the inner fire and prepare for the turning inward that fall invites. Immerse in community and in solitude, in Ayurvedic-based yoga practices, walking meditations and other mindful activities, daily dynamic and restorative practices, powerful sound and energy work, the deep healing of yoga nidra, optional island excursions, and other group and solitary opportunities for awakening and restoring heart, body, mind and spirit.
