Retreat Description:
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” - Melody Beattie
As a conscious preparation for Thanksgiving and the holidays, the focus of our retreat is to awaken our hearts through the practice of appreciation. As we practice noticing all the gifts of our lives, we will invite our heart-mind to linger in appreciation and joy. Through practice, we can cultivate our abilities to notice the good, the beauty, the kindness all around us. We can then practice gratitude and appreciation for our opportunities, life lessons and joys.
Our practices will be woven together with a nourishing blend of qigong, restorative yoga, breath work, heart-opening poems, meditation and the soothing and expansive sounds of crystal singing bowls. We will practice held by our half-day circle and the beautiful Mountain Stream Meditation, Nevada City Insight Center. All levels welcome!
