Enter the New Year going within, cleansing and nourishing your body, feeding your soul in the Spirit House and on the land, having space to dance, practice yoga, read, write and craft. Strengthen your mind, body and spirit as you prepare yourself for the year ahead.

Elements of Coming Home:

This sacred land is a powerful teacher, inviting you to listen to and learn from the earth, plants, animals and ancestors. Coming Home is an opportunity to cleanse your mind, body and spirit of all that does not serve and to put in place beliefs and practices that support you in your life and your work.

Massages available by appointment for an additional fee.

The land waits for you to come, sit, walk, listen and learn.  Self-guided and guided walks will be available.  Walking the ridge in the morning, going into the ravine mid-day and being in the labyrinth at sunset can align your body, mind and spirit as well as give you access to deeper knowing and support alignment with your life purpose.

Breakfast

Simple, tasteful cleansing and healthy food will be offered.  Hearty soups, grains, fresh fruit and garden salads will be provided mid-day; and breads, nuts, fruit, boiled eggs, yogurt, nut-butters and jam will be out morning and night.

 

Read by the stone fireplace in the living room, practice yoga in the studio, write in your private bedroom, craft, relax, or merely rest.  You are your guide for this expansive gift of quiet time and sacred space.

The retreat will begin with an opportunity to share your intentions and end with expressions of learning.  Each day will be framed with an optional morning meditation and evening fire circle-both in the Spirit House.

 

The Coming Home retreat will be available to 12 people, each will have a private room and access to all the Hope Springs land and buildings.
