Fall Yoga and Drumming Retreat: Soul Work The Path of Unconditional Love

October 7th-8th

Instructors: Christa Heibel (eRYT500 and RYS owner) and Monica Hatch (Spiritual Life Coach)

A retreat designed to provide an opportunity to synchronize with the energy of Fall (change, letting go, releasing what no longer is needed, action before stillness) and your own energy self (Chakras, sound, and breath). We can only change when we are present and aware of ourselves, patterns, energies, emotions, and physical truths- so that in awareness and presence we can make a conscious decision to move/grow/expand/ground/change—Beginners welcome!

Our Weekend will be spent at The beautiful Thunderbird Lodge is located on the majestic Rainy Lake, Minnesota- the gateway to Voyageurs National Park. Fall will see things cooling down and slowing down up North with access from Thunderbird Lodge to the Voyageur’s National Park Headquarters, local trails, and more in your time outside of our organized retreat agenda or free time you can spend (weather and desire permitting!) Extra time can be invested in hiking, kayaks, boat rental, camping, and other activities before or after our event in our beautiful area.

Fall is about change

nature goes through a transformation process as it prepares to slow down into stillness in Winter. Fall is a stage of action ~ changing colors, decaying plants, cooling temperatures, and new late-season growth ……Take this opportunity to slow down for a weekend to be present with yourself and harmonize your thoughts and energy to reflect the right attitude, balance, and harmony needed to move into this next exciting season of your life.

During this Soul Work Retreat, we will recover, remember, and rediscover who we truly are at the deepest level by reminding us that beneath the separate sense of self is an ever-flower river of unconditional loving presence, and we are that.
