Fall into balance with nature…
September 22nd - 25th, 2023

There is nothing quite like Autumn in New England. Along with the visually beautiful performance that Mother Nature displays for us, come many changes we make in our daily lives. During our weekend together, we will honor these changes and welcome them with grace. 

The intentions held for this weekend are:

• Connect deeply with our physical bodies and our thinking minds; carving out time and space for self-love and restoration.
• Re-establish the balance between us societal beings and the natural world
• Learn how to nourish and support your body during this transitional time of year
• Celebrate our vitality and our community

This retreat takes place at Willow Retreat Center in South Newfane, Vermont. We will be nestled next to hundreds of acres of Southern Vermont land and hiking trails. It is far enough away to feel removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but still very easily accessible by car (about 2.5 hours).

Daily yoga classes will vary between styles (Gentle Yoga, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Ball Rolling/Myofascial Release) and will include meditation and pranayama. Yoga mats and props are kindly provided by Willow, but you are welcome to bring your own.

Other activities include workshops in culinary nutrition & Ayurvedic wellness, mindful nature hikes, artful meditation, and relaxing evening campfires.
Locally sourced, plant-based meals will be provided by Willow’s resident chef, Ravi.
Massage, Thai Massage, and Reiki  will be available (at an additional cost).

Each room sleeps two guests. Rooms can accommodate two twin beds, or one larger bed, and each room has their own dedicated bathroom. Pricing reflects investment per person, based on double occupancy. For single occupancy, please inquire. 

What to bring:

• Comfortable clothing for yoga, lounging, hiking
• A warm jacket/sweater for outdoor activities
• Comfortable shoes for gentle hikes
• Warm socks/slippers (Willow is a shoe-free environment)
• A notebook or journal if you would like to record thoughts and inspirations
• A refillable water bottle
• Yoga props (optional)
• Your sense of humor
