Fall Yoga Retreat
October 22-24, 2021
Underneath the routine of doing and expectation, a gracious joy for simply being awaits. Fall is a glorious time to slow down and revel in the beauty of being enough, and GilChrist echos that sentiment back to you. Open landscapes, cozy cabins, and sounds of nature are a balm to busy-ness, affirming you are enough... Just as You are. With this retreat, you are invited to reflect and relax into who we are as the hustle and bustle melts away. Poetry, nature, solitude, and togetherness will cocoon this special time of unwinding and unfolding layers to bask in your inner light.

Hibernate with Yoga and Community
Winter 2021
 This wintertime retreat will offer quiet and togetherness through yoga practices, hiking, a creative project, and community dinners. Reflection is encouraged in solitude, as well as with one another. Sometimes winter inspires one to seek refuge in solitude and quiet, which can be rejuvenating and other times togetherness is a balm for the cold. This retreat provides space for hibernating in togetherness. The intent is to create a warm atmosphere of choice between solitude or an activity together and reflect on the energies each experience inspires.

Friday      -     5:30pm: Friday evening yoga practice, 7:00: community dinner.
Saturday   -   10:15-11:45am: morning yoga practice and creativity project,                                    4:30-6pm: Yoga practice, community dinner to follow.
Sunday    -    10:15am-11:45am: morning yoga practice, 12-1:30pm clean up and                          check out.
