If nothing else, this pandemic has taught us just how precious and brief this life is and just how important it is to cherish our days and all our loved ones. We relish this opportunity to come together and love one another in ever more beautiful and deeping ways. 

Join us for a beautiful, relaxing, healing, and inspiring day-long outdoor retreat at picturesque Middle Way Farm in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts.  

It's been three years since we've gathered on the east coast, and we are so looking forward to this intimate time with each other and guest teachers and artists Adam Bauer, Christine Marie Mason, John de Kadt, Renata Langner, and special guests

 

This will be a day to truly slow down and connect deeply with yourself, nature, and the greater community. Steeped in the natural beauty of this outdoor location, replete with panoramic mountain views, ponds, forests and a gorgeous stone fire circle, we will dive into the essence of being. 

The day will include a slow Somatic Earth Yoga Flow, kirtan, elemental meditation, forest bathing, Drumstory, and a workshop on Healing Our First Trauma…our separation from nature. We come together to reclaim our connection with earth and self to heal our individual and collective wounds. 

 

Through these sacred practices we will embody ourselves here on this planet more empowered and alive with our spontaneous, unconditional joy.

 

It has been a minute since we all joined in the joy of presence together. We look forward to being with you all.

 

Note: This retreat includes two delicious vegetarian Ayurvedic meals (lunch & dinner) prepared by our professional chef Veronica Wolf Casey.
