WELCOME TO A WELLNESS WEEKEND FOR PEOPLE IN RECOVERY
in partnership with The Shantigar Foundation.
SCHEDULE UPDATE: This weekend was originally scheduled for October 2021, but out of an abundace of caution during this wave of COVID, and out of respect to local indoor mask mandates and restrictions, we will be postponing this event to the late spring/early summer of 2022. Please reach out if you are interested in attending at that time!
Day to day life, especially during a pandemic, can really take a toll on us... especially those of us who are in recovery from addiction, and those of us who live with people impacted by addiction. Come to the beautiful hills and woodlands at the Shantigar ("Peaceful Home") retreat center and treat yourself to a recovery-centered wellness weekend.
This is an all-recovery weekend for people impacted by their own addiction or/and the addiction of others. This is a retreat for people who want to create space in their mind, heart, and body space by: moving with intention, sitting in silence, relaxing in nature, and reveling in the serenity that arrives as a result of diligent and loving self-care. Set your mind spiraling upwards by connecting to your true self, and your higher power (as you understand it), spending a weekend immersed in nature, breath-centered movement, and all-recovery meetings.
What to expect: Y12SR and all-recovery meetings, restorative yoga, vinyasa (flow) yoga, opportunity for time in nature, guided walking meditation, delicious and healthy food, art projects, and plenty of space to journal/reflect/rest/do step work.
You do not need yoga experience to join us, nor do you have to be actively working the steps to attend; however, we do ask that you have 90 days of sobriety before applying to attend the weekend immersion. Please fill out the application to join us for this wonderful weekend.
