Yoga Retreat for Women: Calm in the Whirlwind, Fall 2024

With Ingrid A. Marcroft

November 8 - 10, 2024

RETREAT BY INVITED PRESENTER

The way life works for us or against us depends on our own energy. This weekend, we will change our energy for the better, individually and as a community.

During this annual retreat, Ingrid seeks to share the most helpful of what she has learned in a lifetime of studying yoga, energy medicine, healing, metaphysics, and spiritual awareness. The magic of this weekend is created by the community of women of all ages who witness themselves and others as they practice yoga and meditation together, share meals together, sit in talking circles together, enjoy nature together, and dive into friendship with each other.

“Each year, we are astonished by the depths of lovingkindness, calm, and joy that we experience together. Lasting friendships have been birthed on these weekends.”

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

For the eleventh year in a row, we will relish exploring our strengths and challenges in the refuge of a circle of women, surrounded by the natural beauty of the quartz-filled Shawangunk Ridge of the Catskill Mountains.

This beautiful autumn weekend includes juicy yoga practices (suitable for all levels, including gentle/restorative and strong), transformative meditations, nature walks, hikes, and shared talking-circle time for group reflection and support.

We are living in a time of enormous upheaval. We need to adapt to this rapidly changing world, which is almost impossible to do when we are wrapped up in our daily lives. By taking the time to step out of our habits, move mindfully, slow down, absorb the breath of life, and spend time with other inspiring beings, we literally change our vibrational energy and can attract new things into our lives.

You’ll feel restored after a weekend of moving, resting, being quiet, listening, speaking, connecting, laughing, crying, making friends, eating great food, and soaking in the spirit of this magical place.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Intimate setting with personal access to the teacher
  • Multi-level and restorative yoga sessions, both with guided meditation (yoga mats and props provided)
  • Interactive sessions, group talking circles, walking meditations
  • Time to write or draw (bring paper and pens if interested)
