<p><span data-contrast="none">Join Erin Joosse in welcoming late spring/early summer - a season of activity and creativity with an in-studio retreat experience, bringing movement, meditation, and writing together. We will gather in community through a nourishing retreat experience in our intimate Source Yoga Northend studio, and you will be guided through mindful, somatic practices and contemplative writing. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">You don’t have to consider yourself a writer to participate. Writing can be a part of contemplative practice, a place where you can be fully present, responsive to the moment, curious and exploring your inner experience. When we write with presence, it is meditation, it is listening, it is hearing the small voice inside, it is discovering yourself and your innermost knowing. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">During our day retreat, we will settle into our bodies with adaptable, mindful, body-based practices - including gentle yoga and other movement. From this place of connection to our bodies, we will find greater ease in our meditation practice, and from the stillness we cultivate, we will write from our center. Through our practices, we will explore late spring - this season of creativity and renewal. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">With guided reflection and gentle prompts, we will dwell in an intuitive, embodied, and creative space together.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
<p><em><span data-contrast="none">“Writing too can be a meditation, a time when we simply allow ourselves to observe and become curious about where those observations lead us. We allow the noise of the day to subside in order to hear a deeper voice – one that is always present but often muted – and sometimes all it takes is a simple “call to action” to bring this voice forward.” - Brenda Miller, </span></em><em><span data-contrast="none">The Pen and the Bell</span></em><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
