Join​ ​me​ ​on​ ​a​ ​peaceful​ ​weekend​ ​retreat​ ​experience​ ​at​ ​the​ ​Windhorse​ ​Center, nestled​ ​in​ ​the​ ​beautiful​ ​kettles​ ​of​ ​Plymouth,​ ​WI,​ October 19-21,​ ​2018. ​All​ ​retreats​ ​blend,​ ​yoga,​ ​breath-work, chanting​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​​ ​solo,​ ​dyad​ ​and​ ​social​ ​meditation​ ​techniques​ ​to​ ​offer​ ​a​ ​truly​ ​enriching​ ​experience.

Wisdom Teaching:

We learn how to be friends with each other and hopefully we learn how to support one another when times are tough, but most of us have never been taught how to create an atmosphere of friendliness and loving-kindness within our own selves. We haven’t entered into a supportive and respectful friendship with our own bodies, minds, and hearts.

● Advice:​​ ​Whether​ ​you​ ​have​ ​attended​ ​100​ ​retreats​ ​or​ ​0,​ ​approach​ ​with​ ​an​ ​open​ ​mind​ ​and​ ​heart. Spend​ ​some​ ​time​ ​in​ ​reflection​ ​before​ ​your​ ​arrival​ ​to​ ​best​ ​understanding​ ​why​ ​you​ ​are​ ​taking​ ​this time​ ​for​ ​yourself.​ ​Also,​ ​understand​ ​that​ ​we​ ​must​ ​always​ ​start​ ​where​ ​we​ ​are.​ ​While​ ​it​ ​is important​ ​to​ ​get​ ​some​ ​practice​ ​(yoga/​ ​meditation)​ ​in​ ​before​ ​your​ ​arrival,​ ​the​ ​practice​ ​instruction offered​ ​will​ ​be​ ​suited​ ​to​ ​develop​ ​a​ ​deeper​ ​appreciation​ ​of​ ​your​ ​current​ ​practice​ ​and​ ​may​ ​create pathways​ ​to​ ​new​ ​ones.​ ​Enter​ ​retreat​ ​feeling​ ​prepared​ ​(less​ ​is​ ​more).
