Deep Rest and Rejuvenation: A Three Night Yoga and Ayurveda Retreat
October 24th-27th, 2019, along the Mississippi River in Dubuque, Iowa
co-led with Katerina Martin @ Four Mounds Inn
Join us in a three night retreat focused on rest and rejuvenation as we prepare for the transition from Fall into Winter. Through practice, conversations, reflection, and a serene retreat environment, explore how to embrace the darkness of this season, and savor this time of year to move inward and slow down. Fall is often a time when anxiety increases, and we feel less grounded and centered. Let this retreat be your opportunity to re-set, ground down, and create clarity and support for yourself during the seasonal changes.
The Four Mounds retreat center is a beautiful property overlooking the Mississippi River. We will eat nourishing, vegetarian meals made with local produce. Come with a friend or partner, or form new connections throughout this sweet weekend – chatting fireside about yoga, Ayurvedic self care, diet, and lifestyle. There will free time for wandering the grounds, reading, and resting.
Most importantly, this weekend is for YOU – to rest deeply, have fun, and step away from the business of our lives and enjoy the company of like-minded people. For some, this weekend may be an opportunity to have a gentle and supportive Ayurvedic Fall cleanse, while others use the weekend as a launch for a continued cleanse and self-care program upon returning home. Whatever the retreat time is for you, the New Moon on Monday, October 28th will support your transition home and integration of this new knowledge into your daily life.
