#3 Yoga Meditation Retreat: Aldermarsh, Whidbey Island
The theme of this retreat will be Integrity: Being Yourself. Many of us learn to hide our true selves behind an assortment of masks and facades, trying to be whoever is needed to gain approval. We also hide our true feelings and do not allow ourselves to express ourselves. Most importantly, fear has us hide the Sacred Self, our most beautiful, powerful essential nature. We will explore this theme and invite us out into the full expression of our true nature.
Besides twice-daily yoga, we will do some hiking in beautiful, bug-free forests. We will do some breath and meditation playshops, as well as kirtan (call and response chant-song) to help us connect on all levels.

This year’s retreat theme will focus on facing, feeling and clearing fear. Fear is a natural emotion, but in our distorted world, fear has taken over and frozen and contracted us, delaying our shift into higher states of consciousness like joy, love and gratitude. We will explore what fear is, where it comes from, why we are so terrified, and take back our power, passion and purpose.
Besides twice-daily yoga, we will do some hiking in beautiful, bug-free forests. We will do some breath and meditation playshops, as well as kirtan (call and response chant-song) to help us connect on all levels.
