FW: Upcoming Yoga Lodge Retreats
Wendy Dion
Dear Friends,
Just a short reminder about my upcoming retreats in April and June (see details below). It’s not too late for the April weekend, but Mon. April 16th is the last day to register. There is still space for those interested in staying at the lodge or off-site. I’m excited about teaching more Ayurveda – nutrition, doshas, etc. Hope to see you!
With Love,
Wendy

of the Moon
Yoga Lifestyle Retreats
with Wendy Dion
Friday, April 20 - Sunday, April 22, 2012
The energy of the different phases of the moon can affect our personal and collective process at the deepest levels. Chandra or moon in Sanskrit means illustrious, and the moon is a dancing source of wonder in the night's sky. It is a reminder of the ever-creating and ever-renewing life force.
On this powerful weekend of April the moon will begin to move from its dark or new to waxing phase. The power of the new moon is receptive and regenerative, as it shifts into a time of increasing light. This is the perfect time to align with this natural tendency to draw energy into new projects, to grow and expand. As the first crescent emerges, we are empowered to take note of what has begun to change or re-emerge in our individual and collective lives.
You are invited into circle to inspire fresh clarity and vision. The weekend will be educational, experiential, practical, and mystical. Yoga Lifestyle Retreat Weekends are designed to give you an essential pause from the pace of daily responsibilities for self care and nurturing. The weekend will include hatha yoga, meditation, nourishing organic vegetarian meals, time in nature and for journaling and sauna, and education focused on nutrition and the theory of dosha in Ayurveda.
Weekend Rates - $150-$450 depending upon lodging and meal choices. Visit the retreat page at www.yogalodge.com for further information and to register.
Friday, June 29 – Sunday, July 1, 2012
The energy of the different phases of the moon can affect our personal and collective process at the deepest levels. Chandra or moon in Sanskrit means illustrious, and the moon is a dancing source of wonder in the night's sky. It is a reminder of the ever-creating and ever-renewing life force.
As the moon swells toward its full phase on July 3, the light of the sun (Surya - the physical and spiritual heart of our world) flows directly to it, unimpeded, unobstructed. This is the moon's culmination, its height of power, peak of clarity and a reminder of the symbolic relationship between the sun (ha) and the moon (tha). This current of perfect union between the sun and moon creates an exuberant vibe. This is the perfect time to act on what has been imagined; to create the clear path from intention; to take an exhilarating step forward.
The full moon shares the symbol of the circle as an image of wholeness and strength. You are invited into circle to inspire fresh clarity and vision. The weekend will be educational, experiential, practical, and mystical. Yoga Lifestyle Retreat Weekends are designed to give you an essential pause from the pace of daily responsibilities for self care and nurturing.
