Schedule, Women's Offerings, & Retreat Descriptions
“When you wake up and you see that the Earth is not just the environment, that Earth is us, you touch the nature of interbeing. And at that moment you can have real communication with the Earth.
That is the highest form of prayer.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

RETREAT OFFERINGS:
​
Having been shaped by the rhythms of the Earth, we are forever oriented towards them; interbeing is our true belonging, and it endures through our own embodiment.
Meeting at the Solstices so as to come into alignment with and learn from the offerings of the seasons, each retreat is an invitation to open and nourish what researcher Paul Devereux calls a “full, rich, mythic sense of place”. Through themed movement and meditational practices from Elemental Qigong and other Earth-based wisdom teachings, we restore ourselves as carriers of connection sourced with the wisdom of the Natural World.
All handouts, materials, refreshments, and a take-home gift included.
In support of social and environmental justice both locally and globally, a portion of all proceeds are donated to:

​YWCA Crossroads Shelter, Kawartha Food Share, UN Refugee Agency, Ontario Nature,
