YOGA REJUVENATION RETREAT WITH RONLY BLAU MAY 14 - 17
Join us at the beautiful Aldermarsh Retreat Center on Whidbey Island for a long weekend of Rejuvenation. On this supportive land we will have time to feel and live into our natural sense of awe, ease and immeasurable acceptance. We will nourish our bodies, minds and hearts through mindful yoga asana practices, deep and restful yoga nidra, ayurvedic-influenced healthy meals, and spiritual community.
Through slow, measured asana practices we can open to the joy of having a body at any level of energy and practice experience. In the yoga nidra sessions, you will be reminded of your heartfelt purpose and guided through the layers (koshas) of the body, pointing us to rest back in an abiding presence that can be with all that arises.

FALL BLISS RETREAT: THE RHYTHM OF RELEASE WITH SARVINDER KAUR OCTOBER 29 - NOVEMBER 1
There are seasons when it helps to pause and take stock of what we have been carrying. This retreat offers time for that pause.
Yoga, meditation, nature walks, nourishing meals, and quiet reflection guide the days. In that stillness, patterns become easier to see and the weight of certain stories begins to soften. The retreat unfolds in close conversation with the land, the season, and the presence of the group.
The retreat is offered through TrailBliss, a nonprofit whose work is rooted in mindful connection with nature.
