RELAX. RESTORE. RECONNECT.
Yoga & Ayurveda Fall Retreat
with Shannon Sabol and Jen Goetchius
Saturday, Oct. 26th, 2024 at Bellwether Farm
Treat yourself to a weekend like no other.
Slow down.
Step away from responsibilities and give yourself the time and space you need for serious self-care.
Share & connect.
Reconnect with yourself, with the natural world around you, and with a supportive community of like-minded people.
Nourish & restore.
Nourish your body with delicious farm-to-table meals and enjoy a day of balanced movement and rest.
Feeling out of rhythm? Join Jen Goetchius and I for a day of nature reconnection, yoga and learning about the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. This year’s fall retreat theme is “The Wisdom of Rhythm,” and will focus on aligning yourself to the rhythms of nature. We will also discuss how to get more in tune with YOUR own natural rhythms that your body and mind crave. The modern world has moved us further away from nature, and with that comes imbalances such as digestive issues, sleep problems, high levels of stress, burnout, feeling disconnected from our bodies, and overwhelm from our fast paced culture. We will discuss the importance of creating rhythm in your life, and how it can help keep you grounded, calm and peaceful.
