A one-day retreat for understanding and transforming stress.

Take time for yourself and join us for a restorative day at a peaceful Buddhist healing center, where yoga, science and meditation come together to help you understand the patterns of stress — and discover practical tools to meet them with clarity and calm.

Throughout the day we will explore how stress forms in the mind and body, how thought patterns shape our experience, and how simple practices from yoga and mindfulness can help us shift our relationship with them.

The day includes

• Morning Iyengar yoga practice led by Ramanand Patel, Iyengar Institute of San Francisco, Student of B.K.S Iyengar
• Interactive workshop on stress and the mind
• Tools for reframing thoughts using yogic philosophy
• Silent walking meditation through the redwoods
• Guided journalling for reflection
• Nāda Yoga session using sound and vibration as a pathway to calm the mind, release stress, and settle into a state of deep ease and balance
• Nourishing vegetarian lunch and the gift of our special KARUNA Journal and Pen

In addition to enjoying a wonderful break for the day in the majestic Redwoods, you will leave with a calmer nervous system, a new understanding of how stress works and practical tools to use daily to create a calmer, more resilient mind.
