Summer Half-Day Retreat | A Sacred Pause | Sunday, July 19
Summer invites us to embrace life fully. The days are longer, our schedules become busier, and we often find ourselves moving from one activity to the next. While this season is filled with growth, adventure, and possibility, it can also leave us feeling depleted.
This half-day retreat is an opportunity to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with yourself through movement, breath, stillness, and nature. Join us at the beautiful Pathways Arboretum in Crete, Illinois, for a morning of rest, reflection, and renewal. The retreat runs from 8:00am to noon.
Your retreat experience includes:
A 4-hour outdoor yoga retreat
Guided breathwork and meditation
Two 50-minute yoga practices
A light lunch
Tea and water throughout the morning
Time to relax, connect, and enjoy the beauty of nature
This retreat will take place at Pathways Arboretum in Crete, IL. Detailed arrival instructions will be emailed to all registered participants on the Friday before the event.
Registration closes Friday, July 17, 2026, at 3:30 PM.
In the event of inclement weather, the retreat will be rescheduled for Sunday, July 26, 2026.
If you are unable to attend, your registration may be transferred as a credit toward a future event of equal value. No refunds will be issued.
