Calling all folks who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color to this special retreat designed for you!
On this special weekend, we invite our BIPOC friends to let go, celebrate, and feel free to express ourselves through yoga, meditation, movement, and sharing circles. This is a safe space where we can explore our relationships to self, community, and spiritual practice. Join us for a weekend of connection – to your roots, purpose, higher self, and the world around you.
This retreat includes:
- Mindful movement
- Meditation
- Nature walks
- Journaling
- Breathing Practices
- Sharing Circles
We’ll follow a smooth flow of energy based in traditional practices and creative explorations. Danny and Ben will share heartfelt practices throughout the weekend to help us honor our wholeness, with time for personal space and integration.
Know that you are enough, you are worthy, you are loved, and we can’t wait to share space with you.
