Yoga Retreats
Hosting and attending yoga retreats feels like a homecoming,
a weaving together of so many facets of meaning in my life.
These retreats are an offering of my being into this wild world. I am beyond grateful for the ways yoga continues to guide me (& us) towards these deep moments of presence, solitude, real community & humanity.
The Sounds of Silence May 20 - 25th, 2025
This retreat will include quiet mornings, the intimacy of practice and the space to roam & be outside. There will be some time for silence and time for community. In addition, this retreat will honour silence for 2 days in the middle of the gathering as a way to widen time and deepen into the wisdom of rest & rejuvenation.

This Retreat is offered in the spirit of Dana. Registration fees cover the cost of accommodations, farm-to-table food and simple administrative fees at Stowel Lake Farm. Taxes not included.
In honour of the Buddhist lineage and teachers, I will offer the teachings and yoga freely because they are considered priceless. On the Buddhist retreats I attend, we practice dana, or generosity, by making monetary offerings for the teachings.On the last day of the retreat, you will have an opportunity to express generosity by way of a donation for the teachings and yoga offered throughout the retreat.
'When the sweet ache of being alive,
lodged between who you are and who you will be,
is awakened,
Befriend this moment.
It will guide you.
It's sweetness is what holds you.
It's ache is what moves you on.'
