GRAY BEAR SPRING RETREAT
Return to Self
March 24th-26th
Inhale. Take a deep breath, turn your awareness inwards and welcome what you find there. Exhale. Welcome yourself exactly as you are. Feel your way down into your body.
In a culture that is catapulting us forward at extreme speeds we forget we are deeply intuitive beings intimately connected to the rhythms and cycles of nature. We invite you to slow down, feel, drop into your senses, and escape into the beauty of nature. We will explore a variety of yoga practices including postures, restorative/yin, pranayama, meditation and sound healing led by Ashley Haselton and Mika Groscost. Yoga will be offered once on Friday 4:15p, twice on Saturday and once on Sunday. All levels are welcome.
Gray Bear Lodge is located in Hohenwald, TN. A short, one-hour drive from Florence. There are over one hundred fifty acres of rolling hills for hiking, natural springs, a crisp shower in a waterfall, sacred moments in a hand-built wood-fired sauna, and a stone hot tub for soaking.
