Taos Self-Care and Relaxation Weekend Retreat—FULL! (waitlist available)

ABOUT THE RETREAT

We live in challenging times – times that have tested our patience, our flexibility, and our reserve. As a result, we are all looking for ways to cope with stress in nurturing, intuitive, thoughtful, sustainable ways. In this yoga and meditation retreat, we will: discuss ways to reduce stress in our daily lives; learn radical self-care methods to build up our emotional reserves; talk about the importance of setting healthy boundaries; and hold space for one another. Investment is $555 double occupancy and $655 for single occupancy.

During this retreat, we will gather at the beautiful Blue Sky Retreat and Bed & Breakfast at the historic San Geronimo Lodge (adjacent to historic and enchanting downtown Taos, New Mexico) to practice restorative and vinyasa yoga, enjoy guided meditation, share healthy nourishing meals, and take time out to relax, create, and just be.Together, we’ll nourish our bodies with healthy plant based meals, herbal teas, yoga, and optional hiking in the nearby high dessert. And, we’ll nourish our minds and spirits with guided meditation, sharing circles, and unplugging from the busy-ness of the world. There will be a nice balance of learning, movement, creating, and quiet time. During your free time, you can take time alone for yourself, avail yourself of Blue Sky’s labyrinth and hot tub.
