Harvesting Serenity: An end of summer yoga retreat at Bethel Farm.
Co-led with Katie Lieberman. During this weekend we will lead you through nourishing all-levels hatha, yin, and restorative yoga practices and create the opportunity to go deep within through guided meditation and journaling. The theme for the retreat will be transition and transformation as we say goodbye to the long warm days of summer, and welcome the abundance and gifts of fall.
Free time will be built into the weekend to hike on the beautiful grounds surrounding the retreat center, swim in their pond, take part in a sauna, sit by a fire, or simply relax and take it all in.
