Join Ginny Shaddock for an uplifting, nurturing day retreat that combines yoga practice with mindfulness meditation to shift our mindset as we explore how yoga teaches us to find peace and embrace heartfelt acceptance when challenging circumstances and unexpected change happens in our lives.

This one-day retreat includes gentle yoga, meditation, creative activities, and intimate discussions designed to explore yoga’s most helpful and profound teachings about surrendering to circumstances, finding tolerance and acceptance, and establishing peace in our hearts and minds despite challenges we may be facing.

Come to enjoy a nurturing yoga class, engaging creativity projects, journaling, sharing, and exploring tools you can use moving forward to feel good at times when life stirs up not-so-good feelings. This retreat includes a healthy vegetarian lunch, time to walk the labyrinth or enjoy tea in the garden, and opportunities to experience yoga in an embodied way that brings us to wholeness and reclaims our inner peace.

Whether you are struggling with family dynamics, health issues, personal frustration, or navigating change in your life, this one-day retreat reminds participants that peace, acceptance, and contentment is possible when you understand and employ the yoga tools that help us find personal balance and connection to what counts most. We all deserve to be content, and yoga gives us the power to be so. Give yourself permission to spend a day nurturing your body and spirit, and invite peacefulness to the forefront of your heart and mind.

This event includes lunch and a gift/supplies

In this 3 hour workshop, we will explore the seven main Chakras, the energy centers in the body. Through restorative yoga, meditation, gentle movement, sound therapy, aromatherapy, and yoga Nidra, each Chakra will be able to take what it needs to cleanse and heal, allowing your mind, body, and spirit to be renewed and restored.

Root Chakra: Responsible for our feelings of security and stability

Sacral Chakra: Feeds our emotions and creativity

Solar Plexus: The key to our confidence and self esteem

Heart Chakra: Controls our ability to give and receive love and compassion

Throat Chakra: Allows us to communicate and speak our truth

Third Eye Chakra: Is responsible for our intuition, gut reaction, and internal voice

Crown Chakra: Our spiritual connection to ourself, to others, and to the universe. Our oneness with all things

Leave with a renewed sense of purpose, better able to speak your truth, having more confidence in yourself, with a more open heart and feeling a stronger connection to all things around you.

Enjoy a beautiful morning on the Heartwood property exploring nature. Breathe in the fresh air, meditate while listenting to the birds and nature sounds, explore the Chakra garden. Deepen your connection to the Earth and feel the support of being connected to all living things can provide.

We'll close the morning with an art project, making a collage of items found on our exploration to take as a memory of our day.
