The Schedule of the Day…Create your year with your whole body, mind & spirit!
9:00 am Energizing, Inspiring Vinyasa Flow Class – Andrew – a vinyasa class to lead you into clear thinking and energize your day to have it be the best start of the New Year!
10:30 am Clearing Yoga & Workshop – Karen – After an invigorating practice this one will be slower, gentler and involve poses and instruction to withdraw your senses ever more deeply to quiet the mind and clear your body to prepare you for a creative inquiry. We often create goals for our New Year without reflecting on whether or not your space is clear for this new creative goal. The class will end with an opportunity to find what is in your way or has been in the past, let it go and free you up for what’s next and new!
12:00 pm Community Pot Luck with Black-Eyed-Pea New Year Soup – Soup for the New Year retreat! If you can only stop by for a cup of soup, please do! This is a New Year tradition – black eyed pea soup eaten on New Years Day help us to have a prosperous New Year! Bring your own favorite healthy new year food to share! (free)
1:00 pm Goal Setting for the New Year – Andrew – Through a combination of movement, meditation, and journaling, you will be guided to unearth your greatest desires for the New Year and manifest them!
2:30 pm Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra – Karen – This class begins with restorative yoga to encourage a release of deep-rooted muscular tension, stress and tightness. Your body will be supported with props including bolsters, blankets and blocks to invite your body to experience a deeper state of relaxation to replenish the body’s energy, leaving you feeling nourished, calm and ready for Yoga Nidra.
Yoga Nidra (also know as “yogic sleep”) will offer deep relaxation for your body, mind and emotions; while helping to dissolve old patterns and remove obstacles. A fitting ending for our New Year Retreat to allow you to absorb and integrate your new clear intentions to be ready for a great 2019.
January 5 – Reiki 1 with Karen Kinnard, Reiki Master Teacher – 2-4:30 pm
Participants will finish this workshop with the beginning ability to do reiki. How is reiki different than other energy healing modalities?
Reiki can be performed by anyone with very little training. It unlocks our innate ability to comfort and care for another human being. It does not require belief or technical skill and relies on your own intuition. The energy frequency of Reiki is similar to other healing modalities, except that it does not use or take the energy of the practitioner. A reiki practitioner learns how to maintain boundaries to recognize and disallow other energies from being exchanged between the giver and receiver. Reiki energy is the highest frequency of love. Practitioners experience being filled up, nurtured and cared-for. $125/$100 members click here to register
