Twin or queen bed in the cabin shared with one other person. Bathrooms are inside the main lodge a few steps away. There are three bathrooms and showers in the main lodge shared with other retreat participants.
Program
The central theme will be to explore the intersections of vulnerability, belonging, and authenticity. Embark on a journey of self-reflection, movement, and community building that unearths your capacity to be vulnerable and honest with each other. Practice embodying ahimsa or non-harming as sacred ground to connect to your body and navigate inner and outer conflict.
Dive deep into the yoga tradition with Asana (physical yoga postures), meditation, pranayama, mantra, stories, and discussion for connection and deep soul growth. There will be yoga asanas offered for all levels of experience: Hatha Flow, Tantra yoga, and Restorative yoga. No yoga experience is necessary. Satya teaches in a radically inclusive way with an emphasis on therapeutics, alignment, and preventing injury.
Nourish body, mind, and spirit with exquisite farm-to-table meals from a local chef. This retreat is for all beings. The intention is to welcome and celebrate folks from all experiences, 16+ in age, religions, abilities, immigration statuses, sizes, and sexual orientations. The intention is to co-create a space that is pro-Black, pro-Immigrant, pro-Queer, and pro-Trans. They will co-create community agreements to embody these intentions.
