Coming Home:  Self-Guided Silent Retreat

January 6-12, 2012

Cost:  $450 per person for the week.

Includes mid-day meal and private room. Food available for you to prepare simple breakfast and evening meals.

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.

Reading and/or journaling  are optional. Silence will be maintained at all times.

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.

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.

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.
