Retreat Theme
This year’s retreat theme will be “Fear Not”. Many of us have grown accustomed to being afraid, so much so that we do not understand how worried we are, or how fear limits us, stunts our spiritual growth. We will discuss ways to manage fear, not by ignoring it completely, but by facing it head on and blasting through it. We will also compare the New Age teachings on fear versus what Jesus and the bible say: “Do not be afraid”. We will discuss how to recognize and deal with evil courageously, not alone, but with the company of our Divine Friend. Ultimately, fear dissipates as we grow more aligned with the true power of the Universe, what some call God.
What else will we do
Besides yoga and meditation, we will do some hiking in beautiful mountains and forests. We will discuss how to align with the Divine to clear the fear, and we will do a delightful sound bath to help us connect on all levels.
Sound Bath
An easy way to calm the mind and access higher energy vibrations. We invite the group to lie down and relax while Liz and Roy play a variety of instruments and sounds to help us move into blissful rest before bedtime, ahhhhhhhhhh ….

Your Hosts:
Roy Holman: I am a 500 hour Certified Yoga teacher, in the Viniyoga tradition. I teach a safe, gentle, body-friendly, grounded, breath-connected, meditative, flowing traditional hatha yoga – a meditation in motion really. I like to move slow, give time to breathe deeply and savor the poses. I also teach breath-work (pranayama) and meditation, and also try to incorporate the many aspects of emotional healing and balancing I have learned. The meditation is a mindfulness style, with focus on breath awareness, heart opening, body senses, emotional clearing, and connection on all levels (body, breath, emotions, Earth, Spirit).
Liz Gross: “I believe all healing involves alignment of the soul with the body.” Liz is a gifted sound and vibration healer, and teaches with Roy on retreats. Liz teaches yoga, meditation, Oneness and often does some of the cooking on our retreats. “When you’re consciously in touch with the life energy within yourself, you have awareness & communication with the flow of energy that connects you to spirit. I feel very passionate about Vibrational Medicine and love working with others in this way & helping others to connect with their purpose and passion in life. Vibrational Energy Medicine brings the physical, emotional, mental, & spiritual bodies back into balance, which opens the way for rebuilding the healing systems of the body.”
