We will deepen our physical and emotional wisdom with mindfulness meditation and movement, and unique experiences incorporating art, music, dance, talking circles, poetry, and playfulness.
Experiencing our interconnectedness, caring, and compassion will help us create change within ourselves and the world around us. Mornings will begin with optional gentle Yoga, taught by Julie Dillon, Seattle Yoga teacher. The Sanctuary, the Labyrinth, and the beauty of the Old Growth Forest will nourish and inspire. We will leave for our own Journeys feeling replenished and empowered.
