Cultivating an Open Heart with the Brahma Viharas ~ A Spring Contemplative Yoga and Mindfulness Retreat
Mar 24, 2023 - Mar 27, 2023

Cultivating an Open Heart with the Brahma Viharas 

A Spring Contemplative Yoga and Mindfulness Retreat 

with Erin Joosse 

Harmony Hill Retreat Center – Union, Washington 

March 24th-27th, 2023 

Masks in our shared spaces are optional. Spaces are well ventilated. As per Harmony Hill policy, masks are required while moving around the dining hall except when seated. 

All safety protocols are subject to change, depending on state, county, and federal recommendations.  

How can we open our heart with intentionality and awareness? How can we settle into the awareness that is our true home - a spacious, light, gentle noticing of our heart and mind?

Contemplative retreat practice offers us the opportunity to pause the doings of daily life, and the chance to tune more fully into our bodies, minds, and hearts.

In this retreat, we will explore the Brahma Viharas, 4 qualities or practices from the Buddhist Tradition that help cultivate an open and spacious heart. They are Metta (lovingkindness), Karuna (compassion), Mudita (sympathetic joy), and Upekka (equanimity). Through talks, meditations, and other practices, we will explore and deepen these qualities in ourselves.

This retreat will include a period of extended silence (Saturday midday through Monday morning) Silent practice offers the chance to limit the input of information we take in, allowing a gathering of our scattered energies, a clarifying of attention, and awakening of present moment awareness.  

Your Weekend: Through a balance of scheduled and unscheduled time, guided yoga and meditation practices, time to rest, be in nature, and delve into two full days of silence, we will practice connecting with and embodying our natural awareness. We will begin our weekend Friday at 4pm, and complete Monday by early to mid-afternoon.  

All levels welcome.

· 3 night's stay in beautiful and thoughtful accommodations

Somatic Yoga: Grounding Through The Skeletal System
Apr 15, 2023 - Apr 29, 2023

Join Karen Laura Peters for a 3 week dive into the anatomy and moving experience of your bones. The skeletal system gives our body its foundational supporting structure. Our bones can be a pathway to find more alignment, ease, and groundedness in ourselves. Each week we will focus on a different part of the skeletal system in our yoga practice.

This series is IN PERSON at the Source studio. If you took this series last spring online, we invite you to sign up again. There are many layers to this material and exploring somatic movement in community can feel quite different than online. We’d love to be with you in the studio!

Space is limited, please preregister.

Cost (sliding scale): $50/$70/$90

Why sliding scale? We want our classes and offerings to be accessible for all. By offering a sliding scale of rates, we offer different options that work for different budgets. Equity pricing works if those that have easy access to financial resources pay at the higher tiers, so that those with less access to resources can choose the lower tiers, and we are still able to meet the financial needs of our business operations and support sustainable wages for teachers.

Supporting Rate - $90 Pays for you and supports someone who needs to pay at a lower rate
Sustaining Rate - $70: Pays for you
Supported Rate - $50: Contributes to your participation and is supported by the generosity of the community
