The Program Framework
Every Day and every moment is important, choose what you do with consideration
It is important that all attendees understand that the program is full from the start of the day to after dinner. All workshops, yoga, meditation are all available but not mandatory... so only come to the ones that you need or want. Everyone is their own greatest teacher, so we urge attendees that if you need to sleep, or swim or shop & you miss something then that's fine. There is plenty of long meal times so if you need to call home or rest you can. This retreat is open to both women and men of all ages an sizes.
​
The space we create together will be sacred and respectful. We can all learn from each other so an attitude of openness is required. The Shala for the 5 days will be our Lab of Life, where we get to be explorers of whatever comes up, new ideas, new moves and then incorporating the best of what sits with us back into our daily lives.
