Windhover Retreat, Fall 2017
|
retreat:
Join me for a weekend of yoga, meditation and local food at the Windhover Center for the Performing Arts, in beautiful Rockport MA.
Enjoy morning meditations, twice daily yoga, and delicious locally sourced food, with plenty of down time for relaxing, spiritual practice, outdoor exploration and making friends (fun!). Come to slow down, take more breaths, deepen your practice, and ENJOY yourself. ALL levels welcome. Truly.
Windhover is a truly magical place, a refurbished dance camp dating back to the 1930's. We will be staying in rustic summer camp cabins, eating communal meals in the large quirky farmhouse, and practicing in the antique dance studios. Windhover is nestled in bucolic Rockport Massachusetts. Our accommodations are short walk from the coast and quarries. Downtown Rockport and it's quaint art's district are a five minute drive away.
Our menu will feature seasonal vegetarian fare, as well as locally caught seafood from Cape Ann, Massachusetts. All allergies, dietary restrictions and preferences will be lovingly accommodated. OUR CHEF IS AMAZING.
Arrivals on Friday August 31st, between 3:30-5:30 pm. Friday evening class to begin at 6:00 pm.
Departures on Monday September 3rd, 1:00 pm.
accommodations:
Think summer camp... for adults!
Each cabin is unique and adorable, housing three to five guests. Bathrooms are in a shared bath house, a short step away from your cabins. If you're booking with a friend, just let me know and of course, you can room together! Guests provide their own bedding and towels.
If you need a private cabin for personal or medical reasons, or simply would prefer to room alone or with your spouse or family, please reach out to me directly. There are a limited number of cabins, but we can almost always accommodate a few private room requests on a first come first serve basis💛.

what we'll be doing...
Friday evening will begin with settling into your cabins, exploring the beautiful grounds and having a delicious snack. Our opening meditation and yoga class will begin at 6:00 pm. A welcome feast will follow!
Our weekend mornings will start quietly and slowly, with a 30 minute meditation, followed by silent breakfast. After breakfast, take sometime to digest and prepare for our active and rejuvenating mid-morning yoga practice! Family-style lunch (usually outdoors!) follows our morning practice.
Spend your afternoon resting or exploring. Rockport's beautiful beaches, coastline and quarries and arts district are all just minutes away, walking or by car.
If you are interested in expanding your yoga practice off of your mat, Saturday and Sunday afternoons will contain programming for those interested in diving deeper into other limbs of the yogic practice. Offerings include singing, chanting, and mantra recitation (Saturday) and a guided discussion on fostering inclusivity (and addressing privilege) within our yoga culture (Sunday). THESE WILL BE AWESOME.
At dusk, come wind down from the day with a gentle lunar class, incorporating slow flow, yin, and restorative postures. Class will be followed by a delicious family style dinner. After dinner, retire to your cabin or hang out in the farmhouse for fun! Last year we sang songs, played parlor games, drank tea, and have a generally very silly time.
On Monday, our morning schedule will be the same as the preceding days, but following lunch, we will have a closing mediation and tearful adieus! Departure time is 1:00.
