“What a wonderful experience! It is clear that Shannon takes the environment into account when choosing where to host a retreat, & the farm was a beautiful, calm place to take in the content for the weekend. There was kind intention behind the activities planned, with options for how to engage & participate. The folks who chose to be a part of the experience brought a  warmth & openness that really helped unpack more for me personally & I am so grateful for the space to explore. Shannon’s presence during classes and social time is so compassionate & empowering, it is a joy to practice alongside her & the creativity she brings to the work is a delight. If you have the chance to spend a weekend with Shannon to be on retreat for setting intention, giving yourself breathing room, or expanding connection I highly recommend it.”

"Shannon's fall retreat was just what my busy soul needed after long weeks of parenting, working, and travel. Arriving at Bellwether Farm early in the morning, our waiting breakfast was warm and delicious. Even on a gray, late autumn day, it's obvious that the farm is a special place. Throughout the day, as we reflected on our experience as a group, I told Shannon that the strongest feeling I was experiencing was being 'motherered.' And it really was this wonderful gift to feel so taken care of! The day's activities hit the right balance of physical activity, quiet nature time, free time, and best of all, yoga and delicious food! I can't wait for the next retreat. Thank you again, Shannon!"

"I came to the retreat feeling tired and frantic and left the retreat feeling fully energized and at peace. Shannon's yoga practices and Ayurvedic workshop along with the beautiful nature activities and delicious farm-to-table meals made the retreat an ideal way to unplug from the distractions of everyday life and tune back in to myself. Shannon is so incredibly kind, approachable, gentle and loving, making the retreat feel welcoming and giving each student the chance to come as they are. I loved every minute of it and can't wait for the next one!"

"A refreshing reset. Shannon’s offering for a retreat seemed to find me. Through her leadership and guidance, it felt natural to lean into this experience of stepping away from the busyness. It was simply beautiful to spend time mindfully outdoors, be invigorated by Shannon’s Yoga/Ayurveda teachings, enjoy meals in good company and have the space for silence when needed. Planned the day of a full moon, the retreat provided an opportunity to be deeply focused on what intentions we sought to manifest. With this retreat held close to home, it feels like I can more easily integrate these practices into daily life moving forward. I am grateful for the fire Shannon lit in me and the welcoming community she continues to pull together."
