July 20th Retreat
9:45 am - 4:15 pm Bolinas, CA
Embody and Reconnect ~A day of somatic and eco-healing practices with focus on reconnection to ourselves, each other and the earth~
Join us for a special retreat at Purple Shore Wellness centered around our relationship with Mother Earth. We will embody, rejuvenate, and reconnect with our bodies and the natural world through the therapeutic practices of mindfulness and yoga, with a special workshop integrating The Work that Reconnects, a communal practice to help us remember our innate connection to ourselves, each other, and our planetary community.
We live in a time where our natural world is in acute crisis, leaving many of us deeply concerned, stressed, anxious and feeling helpless. This can result in our feeling empty, disconnected and also tense in the mind, body, and soul. At this daylong retreat on a beautiful ocean bluff-side property you’ll have an opportunity to reconnect—coming home to yourself and communing with nature and others through offerings of guided embodiment and group learning and sharing on the Work that Reconnects. Yoga andQigongwill help you connect you to your body and life energy, and the Work that Reconnects will remind you of your love for this planet and the power of community. This day away will leave you feeling recharged, present, inspired, and connected to the nourishment and aliveness within and around you.
*The Work That Reconnects is a framework and set of practices developed by Joanna Macy, a scholar, environmental activist, and Buddhist practitioner. It is a holistic approach to personal and collective transformation that aims to address the ecological and social challenges facing humanity.
