Memorial Weekend Yoga Retreat:
Superheroes Among Us: Tales of Courage, Compassion and Great Adventures!
With NAOMI GOTTLIEB-MILLER
As Maggie Mayhem, in the movie Whip It! so wisely advises: "Be Your Own Hero!"
There are superheroes among us. Some of them might even be you. Explore your superhero potential and hone your yoga
skills at the same time. This weekend will be an opportunity to tap into your own adventurous spirit and conjure
the qualities within you that bring to life the heroics of your everyday life. Using myth, cartoons, pop culture
characters and traditional archetypes as our guide, we'll explore what those common qualities are and rediscover
them in our asana practice, as well as in some meditation and journaling.
Although we can draw incredible inspiration from them, the greatest heroes among us are not always the ones who
wear masks and capes and drive groovy cars; the greatest hero is the one who knows her own heart. Find your
heart on your mat and in the beauty of the mountains this Memorial Day Weekend!
Time: From Friday 4pm through Sunday 1pm.
Cost: (Includes workshop fee, 6 meals and 2 overnight stays)
Camping - bring your own gear and towels: $310

Reclaiming The Goddess a retreat for women
With KATE MILLER and REGINA ARMENTA
This retreat will offer you ways to cultivate the desires and intentions that your heart yearns to manifest.
The safe and accepting space will give you the room to explore your shadows and bring light to the forgotten.
It’s paramount to our overall health and well being as women, that we connect to the nature of who we are and feed
our bodies, minds and spirits. What better place to do this, but in the loving embrace of Mother Nature and a small
circle of powerful women.
The Autumnal Equinox is a time where nature offers us an opportunity to reflect on the ways we offered ourselves
in the fullness of Spring and Summer, give thanks and look forward to the ways in which we’d like harvest what
will inform the days ahead. It’s also a time to work through what has held us in old self-limiting patterns
and release whatever might be holding us back. This can be as simple as planning a cleanse, clearing your home
of excess clutter, or it can also be acknowledging a new threshold in your life and honoring the phase you’re leaving
behind.
Autumn is connected to the mysterious Enchantress phase before we move into the more introspective Hag phase of Winter.
It can be a time unbounded creativity and deep sexual power.
There is always a women’s Red Tent during the retreat dedicated to honoring our collective womb.
Within the Red Tent we care for one another and are cared for ourselves with healing, song, meditation,
reading, story telling, council, quiet rest, herbs and sharing together. We care for ourselves in learning
more about our bodies, our blood cycles, our ways of dealing with overcoming stress and learning to be more
gentle with ourselves.
Regina and Kate love creating this sacred space and fill it with their own personally library of women
focussed books. We encourage everyone to spend a little time each day in the Red Tent to cultivate personal
intentions or offer prayers.
This time is dedicated to you. Whether you choose to take part in all the activities, or prefer to cultivate more solitude,
your time and space will be honored and nurtured by the retreat leaders. We are open to meeting your needs the best way we know how.
We want to keep this circle intimate in order for us all to have an opportunity to share and be heard. This retreat is
limited to 20 participants. Register today!
Time: From Thursday 4pm through Sunday 1pm.

WEEKEND OF SPIRITUAL PRACTICE AND SWEAT LODGE
Take a weekend to enjoy the beauty and quiet of the mountains at StoneSong with a sacred Sweat Lodge,
yoga, meditation, nature hikes, hot tub, and great food.
The All Nations Lodge is inspired by Native Americans of the Great Plains. It is a spiritual form developed for non-natives who have the respect and sincerity needed to benefit from this purification ritual.
We heat stones in a sacred fire and bring them into the lodge where they are blessed with herbs and prayers. In this dome-like structure, we sing and pray to affirm our connection with all of creation.
Water is poured on the stones to create a healing steam which helps us to release toxins and open our energy centers. We offer this ceremony with respect and gratitude for the Creator, for the Earth and all her creatures, and for our native brothers and sisters who have kept this sacred ritual alive despite centuries of persecution and misunderstanding.
The Lodge is open to all seeking health and healing and a deeper relationship to the Earth.
Facilitator: John Bayerl, Mary Lou Martin and Eduardo Guedez
Time: From Friday 6pm to Sunday 1pm
