Wisdom of the Body: A Meditation & Yoga Retreat

You’ve traveled, studied, and built a life. You’ve pushed your limits and cared for others, experienced loss, recovered from sickness and surgeries. It’s time to discover what your body needs now.

In this extended weekend retreat the rhythm of your days will simplify.

• walk, sit, stand, lie down.

• sense, think, feel.

You’ll practice yoga, meditate, talk with each other, play with improvisation, and eat delicious meals. You’ll take walks and naps. As you pause and quietly listen, you’ll become curious about what you usually sprint past; like breathing in and out, like what’s in front of you now.

By replacing the hustle and drive with the opportunity to pause and practice, insights arise. Way Seeking Mind—the mind seeks its own way. This journey is unique to you, and you’re supported by the community, the land, the forms, and lighthearted play.

You’ll practice:

• the four postures of meditation.
• restorative and flowing yoga.
• sacred naps.
• lively discussions.
• moving improvisation: deep play practices.
• a little writing.
• aimless wandering.
• periods of silence.

At the end of this retreat, you may think, this is familiar, or I knew this once, or I don’t know.

“Katharine was wonderful, creating a safe nurturing tone and establishing community among us. She was both teacher/guide and fellow student herself – a powerful connection. She shared herself with us, and in doing so allowed us to share of ourselves.”

“Katharine is as real and honest as it gets. She taught me so much, and my personal Zen practice and understanding of life grew immensely during my time with her.”
