BE Where the Love IS
Valle Crucis, NC Retreat. August 21-24, 2005.
Yoga. Live music. Breathwork. Meditation. Nature. Artistic Inspiration. Connection.
It’s time to renew and reconnect with our end-of-summer Blue Ridge Mountain retreat at the Valle Crucis Conference Center, outside of Boone, NC.
Enjoy a late summer retreat with us as we return to where we have been retreating since 2004. You will be encouraged to come as you are and leave a more inspired version of yourself! Choose from Yoga, Breathwork, live music experiences, creative expression, nature walks to the waterfall and meditative inquiry. This is a perfect reset if you need time to reconnect and consider what is important in your life.
The day begins with coffee (or tea) on the porch, watching the morning unfold. There is space for quiet or pockets of conversation with your fellow retreat participants.
At 7am in the Apple Barn, Ashley will lead a more structured, alignment based practice that will support you to find greater awareness, strength and clarity in your body. As always, hand-on assists are some of the student’s favorite reasons to wake up early and get on the mat for an amazing start to the day.
As the days progress, the meal-time bell beckons us to the dining hall, where you will have your choice of buffet items and more great conversation around the meal tables.
Colin Allured will provide a fusion experience of his masterful art of music as the backdrop of our mid-morning practices in the Apple Barn. The music becomes an integral part of the experience. We like to say that this is part of the medicine itself.
After lunch, you will have lots of free time to integrate the physical and energetic practices, either with a hike to the waterfall, or a quiet time rocking in the rocking chairs on the porch of the inn.
The afternoon yoga practices are designed to help you to restore and integrate the day’s experiences into the wisdom of your body.
After dinner, we join nightly for fun and social time. Please note, this retreat is alcohol free, but we will have mocktail and bedtime tea hour to inspire your sweet dreams.
A highlight of our retreat weekend is the Saturday evening session. A fun time is already being curated. More details will emerge as the retreat unfolds!
