Living from the heart: Weekend Retreats
“They say there is a window from one heart to another. How can there be a window where no wall remains…” Rumi
Drawing inspiration from teachers and mystics of different traditions, as well as modern healing practices, these weekend retreats are designed to be a restful break from your daily life. We’ll work with meditation, free-form dance, yoga, poetry, body-work and healing techniques to explore how we can live from our hearts.
