sweet surrender: a weekend retreat
SOLD OUT
What if the tree held on to every leaf? What if the flower refused to return to the earth? What if the clouds held on to every raindrop? Surrendering to our surroundings is as natural as life itself, yet so often we can't seem to let go of all that weighs us down.
If you want to experience the sweet gifts that surrendering holds, this weekend retreat is for you. During this 2 1/2 day retreat, you will be using the gifts of vulnerability, community, forgiveness, and love to release whatever may be holding you back. Daily yoga, forest bathing, heart-centered activities, and sacred sharing circles will aid you in making space for all that is waiting to be let into your life: once you're willing to surrender.
The sweet surrender retreat will be held at the Manidokan Camp and Retreat Center in Harpers Ferry. The comfortable yet simplistic environment is perfect for keeping participants focused on the necessary work of letting go.
Facilitated by Heather Jefferson, wellness director and 500 E-RYT instructor, and Kelly Felix, lead mindful movement instructor and 500 RYT Certified Yoga
