Slow down and savor the sounds, sights and tastes of summer while refilling your well with daily yoga, meditation, healing sound, creative movement, and supportive community circles.

You’ll be surrounded by forest, ponds and hiking trails, scenic vistas, and enjoy peaceful spaces for personal reflection and contemplation.

Get ready to slow down, stretch out and savor the simplicity, serenity and wonder of summer!
