What inspires you to feel creative? Are you curious about techniques that calm your mind and inspire deep listening?

This mindfulness-based weekend retreat takes place at the beautiful North Cascades Environmental Learning Center, located on Diablo Lake outside of Rockport, WA. The beauty and peace of the North Cascades National Park offer the perfect venue for slowing down, breathing mountain air, and finding steadiness in the quiet. As we relax into our weekend, we open to where we have become shut down, discover what our habits and mental tendencies are, and explore how we might choose differently. Our retreat is intended to help you pause and step away for some self-care and learning about mindfulness. Each activity and practice that we offer is chosen to help you cultivate awareness, leading to deeper intimacy with yourself and a sense of allowing, while waking up to the natural beauty in each moment. We are offering a space for you to awaken your creativity, feel the divine energy of the natural world and help you listen to your heart.

Our weekend will include:

  • Guided Meditations – indoor and outdoor, walking and seated
  • Yoga (physical movement practice) – Yin, Mindful Vinyasa, Yoga Nidra, Pranayama (breath work)
  • Live music with Jean Mann
  • Art class
  • Guided or solo hikes
  • Evening campfire to connect with our surroundings and community
  • Salish-style 18 person canoe trip
