Welcome to this Full Moon Grief Camping Retreat where up to 12 women will be camping at Open Sky, a rustic 120 year old farm.
Your days will be balanced with nourishing activities for your body, mind, and spirit that also allow for needed reflection time. You can wander the trails, enjoy the flowers in bloom, and watch the birds. Each day starts with being sung awake for morning meditation, pranayama, and hatha yoga. There are inspiring activities woven into each day. Enjoy farm-to-table seasonal, local, vegetarian meals. You will find places all over the 8-acre property where you can sit and enjoy a cup of tea, hang in the hammock with a good book, or for an added cost, have a personal tarot reading or reiki session. Our evenings will include either Yin Yoga or a sacred fire with singing and sharing. Saturday night we will have a Yoga Nidra under the stars and the full moon! Silence is observed at our day’s end to ensure your retreat is as restful and rejuvenating as possible.
