April Update: Last Call Spa Retreat + Updates
Photo: Artur Luczka
Welcome to April! This will be a brief update as March has been a “helluva” month. Please don’t ask me how I am luxuriating in my sabbatical! as the month has been filled with family sicknesses, excruciating dental pain (praise the goddess I have had the time to deal with it) and all the glorious chaos of the Trusk world with its devastating consequences on so many in our communities and ourselves. Let’s not pretend it was a joy ride BUT things are on the up. It has been wonderful to watch the incredible greenness in our area and the vibrant life in our ancient apple trees almost in bloom, while looking forward to the little retreat* on this land which is just around the corner.
Update
So the GIT - Get It Together in 2025 6 month program continues and now recordings from March and February are available to the public. These are simple live recordings of classes from this year and previous years which you can download or stream. GIT members check your Welcome page for mega discount info for the downloads. It is still possible to join the GIT program if interested or you can pick and choose classes from this link
*Spring Retreat 4/9-13 - Knowing Our True Nature - An Outdoor Meditation and Yoga Retreat with Kirsten Rudestam and MP - We have two last minute openings for anyone interested and able to move fast - in terms of registration etc!
Summer Solstice Retreat 6/20-25 - We have one single glamping tent available and also one space for someone in a shared cabin or camping or in dorm. Local discount may apply.
Spa Retreat in Spain - It IS happening if we get the minimum deposit registrations by April 15. If not, it will be cancelled and deposits refunded. This year, the hotel are so happy to see us back, they have - currently - given us a 10% discount on all accommodations.
2026!? Gray Bear Retreat, TN is happening again. Dates to be confirmed but these are being considered - April 23-May 1, 2026
FREE MINI MORNING YOGA PRACTICE
A simple 16 minute standing practice to get you out the door on those days when the inner chat is loud and there is very little time to embrace the morning light. This is an audio file.
If you are interested in streaming or downloading previous GIT (Get it Together in 2025) recordings, you can find them for purchase along with other practices on my Vimeo page. Sometimes, a recording can be so helpful to get the mojo going or you may want to explore a particular theme, eg Vinyasa, or a body focus that we have been investigating, eg Psoas.
Enjoy!
SANGHA saves us all…..
SANGHA by Danna Faulds
Teach me what I cannot learn alone.
Let us share what we know, and what
we cannot fathom. Speak to me of
mysteries, and let us never lie
to one another.
May our fierce and tender longing
fuel the fire in our souls. When we
stand side by side, let us dare to focus
our desire on the truth. May we be
reminders, each for the other, that
the path of transformation passes
through the flames.
To take one step is courageous;
to stay on the path day after day,
choosing the unknown, and facing
yet another fear, that is nothing
short of grace.
